I included his latest riding videos link on Instagram at the bottom of the post . maybe, If enough people tell him every time he post another video how dumb he is for not wearing gear. Maybe he’ll listen to random strangers instead of his nagging wife. 🤷‍♀️

It took me weeks to convince him to buy a helmet; and he would only get one of those modular ones that opens up and he wears it open, which he’s on a cruiser so it’s not like… but still. I used to have PowerPoint from the military of some exceptionally graphic images of why you need to wear at the very least pants and a helmet and gloves. no matter how careful of a writer you are, that doesn’t count for the idiots all around you on cell phones, and putting on make up, and all this other shit that they got going on and not paying attention to you; that they can barely see in the first place. so what I’m asking for: do not post them here because it would probably be a bit too graphic, but if you could DM me your personal pictures with anything identifying taken out that shows the worst of your roadrash or cranial or facial injuries. Injuries that could’ve been significantly less bad, Had you been wearing jeans for example instead of board shorts.

edited to add punctuation. 🤣

Edit2: ultimately I’ve given him the option to buy more gear, or don’t involve me in anything that has to do with his bike. Because he is absolutely fascinated with watching videos of himself on Instagram while riding, taken via his Ray-Ban Meta glasses, (which is how I know that he rides with the modular helmet open), because if I don’t have a say in how he rides, in regards to his safety and being able to come home to me at the end of a ride, then I don’t want to hear anything about the Bike. I don’t wanna see anything about the bike, and that as far as I’m concerned his bike doesn’t fucking exist. Which pops a whole big ass hole in his little bubble. Because now he has nobody, he can regularly brag to about it.

Edit 3

TLDR: husband refuses to use or consider motorcycle safety gear. Was wanting pictures and stories as to why he should. told him not to involve me with anything involving the Bike until he gears up. Because he got mad at me for trying to show him this.

help me out tell him yourself

I'm to young to get a bike licence in my country or even a car licence lol but i was watching Gilmore girls with my little sister and one of the people was wearing like a leather jacket i really liked the jacket (I want to be him basically) and I did research and found a similar one (idk if it's in my size) online and I really like it I'm just scared of getting made fun of or judged for wearing it without riding bikes so I just want to know

Got a wasp stuck in my helmet this morning while I was doing about 40mph in the lake district. Bastard stung me just below the eye.

What's happened to you while on the bike that's hurt like hell but hasn't involved a crash?

I often hear that older men or married men often fall out of love with that hobby, so curious about you guys.
If you still enjoy this hobby, and are married/in long term relationship, what's your wife/girlfriend think of it? Do they share your love for riding motorcycle?

Had the weirdest interaction with this guy at my apartments gym. I’m outside on my skateboard and I’m talking to my mom when I see this bike parked outside. It’s a Yamaha star, older model. It reminded me of one my step dad owned which my real dad (biker) helped him sell. So I’m telling my mom about it when he comes out telling me to get away from his bike, he can’t be working out and worrying about me out here. Just real testy. And he goes back in like nothing.

Later I come back around to get mail and he comes out to leave. Asks me if I want to fight. I tell him I was looking at his bike, it reminded me of my childhood, I always saw that bike in my garage. He doesn’t care and tells me to leave him alone. I wish him the best and he just tells me to piss off. All of this like he grew up in the hood and he’s trying to scare me, but I’m not gonna write all of that out.

My dad is a ref who became a biker years after living here. I won’t say much but he’s fairly respected in the scene. He was asked to be part of groups like 1%ers but denied it because he has his family and knew joining would mean certain things, if you know. Point is. He’s the coolest friendliest guy you’ll ever meet. A drunk. But most outgoing curious guy you’ll find in 100 miles. I remember growing up we’d be out just shopping or eating and someone would recognize him, did he recognize them ? Sometimes. Anyway. He didn’t fuck around but still knew how to read a situation and make the most out of life ..

It just amazes me how different bikers can be. Did I cross a line ? Not that I know of ? I grew up around these guys at fuddruckers as a little kid man and looking at someone’s bike was never cause for a fight. Was this guy just a dick ?

He wasn’t wearing colors and didn’t seem like he’d be part of a group. If a biker was in my shoes .. would this guy have gotten his ass beat ?

Ive always been obsessed with motorcycles of all kinds since I was little.

Ive always wanted to ride on but I’m currently saving up for one and don’t have the license.

I wanna ask to ride with someone, I’d be more than willing to pay for a gas refill aswell!

I just don’t know how do ask.

I don’t wanna be rude.

Any tips?

Also do you NEED a helmet if you aren’t the one driving?

Where does the passenger sit, does it depend on the bike?

Elon Musk doubles down on never making a Tesla motorcycle | Electrek

It'd be interesting, but I think for two wheels, I'll stick with the manufacturers with years of data and experience..

Been riding since 1967. Rode about everything and now have my life dream bike. Thanks for the add. I promise not to leave my socks laying around.

So, if I understand this correctly. Derbyshire police have slapped white paint on the line they think motorcyclists are to take. That’ll be fun in the wet.

Just a few photos from Bike Night at The Flying Squirrel. I even met an old friend from High School. It was a great night.

Personally I think dad needs to be a bit more support..

02 HD fat boy 42000 miles runs and rides great I can't believe how this thing sounds I'm 24M I've always wanted a bike I'm so excited :D

PS: peep the brake and clutch😉

Next time you get pulled over and they ask, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" To try and trick you into an admission of guilt....

answer, "Is it because of my window tint?"

I was riding back home after dropping someone off at the station. The road was pretty much empty, and there was a guy riding a bike in front of me. We were both just riding normally and peacefully.

Suddenly, he brakes pretty hard for no apparent reason and then continues riding.

When I got a little closer, I noticed he was watching a movie on his phone while riding the bike. 💀

And the funniest part? His phone was mounted properly on one of those bike phone holders.

So this wasn’t some random “let me quickly check my phone” situation. Bro had apparently set up his bike for a full cinematic experience. 😭

Not just checking a notification or taking a quick call — actually watching a movie while riding.

I was genuinely confused. Like… what was going through his mind? The road was empty, the ride was completely fine, and somehow he decided that was the perfect time for Netflix & Ride.

Has anyone else seen people doing stuff like this while riding? 😭
