Why do people avoid other people wearings vests?

I'm not touching this one.

Like a glowing hot stove, huh?
I know what you mean, I can't resist either sometimes...

ehh....im cool with everyone....:teeth
 
this thread is hurting my brain.
I'm putting my kevlar shorts on my head to relieve the pain.
plus now esenkrauts bullets can't hit me in the head cause I've got kevlar shorts on my head.
maybe we should start a MC gang that wears shorts outside thier leathers.
It'd just be for 250 riders.
 
:ape

I don't know about you guys, but I stay the hell away from people in vests. Especially the group pictured below....
They scare the hell out of me.


Every time I get close, I think they're gonna grab me and shank me or somethin... Just look at those beady eyes... you know he's plotting your demise:

" Welcome to Wal-Mart. Now get your shit and get the fuck out!"

:teeth
 
you should be afraid of people that wear kevlar shorts, or even leather shorts, maybe even just plain shorts.


FEAR MY SHORTS
 
At this moment I don't even have a helmet on; it would be stupid since I am posting on barf...

You put on a one piece suit to surf the net?

He might be gathering all the info stated on this thread and is preparing a 5 page essay for his comeback attack :twofinger
 
:wow!!!!:laughing

alas poor altomista...dissapearing under a cloud of embarassment...

I'm gone for two days, and the thread is already at 90 posts? :wow

Since it's gone to three pages, for me, I'm only going to respond to what's on page three. :p

And no, I haven't dissappeared because I'm embarrassed. I get enough shit from all of you for my 250 alone. :twofinger

You actually remember the time I went off on the gasoline thread? Sheesh, you must have read my arguments thoroughly. :applause

As for those of you that actually ask me why I have a kevlar vest, I wear it to protect me, not to set me apart from everyone else. Some of you have given me shit for that too because it's "not as good" as a back and chest protector. But you know what, it works and I'm more than happy with it. The Fremont crew, and especially Henley, can attest to the time I got hit by a car. My vest protected my chest that day. I also had it on the time I lowsided and I wasn't hurt in my midsection or back. It also works wonders for those rocks kicked up by tires. A secondary benefit is it works great at keeping my core warm on cold days.

And as xshixy said, I wear my vest underneath my jacket when riding, unless I'm squiding around in my vest alone, which is rare. You can't see my vest until I take my jacket off. There's nothing on it, except for a little patch of velcro. I may or may not keep it on at a meet, it just depends on the weather and my inclination that day.

That should answer about 99% of the questions you guys have out there. :p

Didn't take long for this thread to get derailed, if you think you deserve attention/respect because you wear a vest you should probably pull your head out of your ass and check your ego at the door because 90% of the riding populace could give a fuck less.

The reason people don't approach you should be glaringly obvious at this point.

umm let's be honest here mmky. you wear it because you're making a statement and you think it looks cool. :hand

The fact that it protects you marginally as opposed to the gear made specifically for riding (leathers, back protectors) is merely a side benefit.
 
I wear kevlar shorts to protect others form my awesome manlyness and cause they make me feel sexy.

To be honest I get approached all the time and the vest has nothing to di with it. The OP started this thread cause the night at Santana Row several bikes rolled up, then they looked up saw a couple of guys in vest watching the bikes and drove to another spot. No ego nothing like that and it's not the guys that had vest on pulled som vidio music crap. So as I saw those guys did not try to get attention. Respect a person for what they are in way and how they act, screw giving respect just because they dress or wear something. The only thing glaring is that some like to pass judgment on others. I'm not mad at you it's human nature and some have not got pass that yet. I catch myself doing it to squids wearing not gear at all.

Really got to love that a guy with a sweat shirt and not laced shoes rolls up with an attitude and gets less flack. But from what you make it sound like if we roll up jackets, boots. knee protectors, vest back prctectors, full gaunt gloves. would blow us off? ( this is a question ) I ask cause when we come upon this we walk over and talk to them and befriend and try and convince them they are riding unsafe. I lost count of how many people we have GAVE away extra gear to for FREE. One more thing the Pull head out of ass thing is uncalled for and looks like a bait but as I sain befor I will shut the F**k up and let the mods make that call. Thank you for you time. An now you know the rest of the story , Good Day.:rofl
