Tried to look cool the other day by letting my legs dangle as I pulled off through a major intersection. I kept both legs out while leaning my torso down on the tank (you bikers know what I mean). Although the cars were slow, I pulled off purposely late behind the cage in front of me. Well, the bump I hit going through the intersection caused my right leg to kindly touch against my exhaust pipe

, ohhh-hhh maaa-maaaah! I wobbled more at that point than I did when I first started riding. Think I gave the cages a little somethin' to laugh at during lunch hour

.

Got me a 3"x3" burn patch on the inside of my lower right leg just above where my short socks stopped & below where my jeans ended. I believe a little Neosporin can take care of my first warmark

See, should be wearing boots...

BTW, does dangling your legs really look cool??

Yeah, I know I shoulda been wearin' my boots but it was pretty nice weather. Just having a bit of fun, yah-no?

So . . . you were laying across the tank at <5 mph.

Very cool!

Sorry about the burn.

I actually saw a person the other day cruising down the highway at about 75mph laying across the tank with their feet up on the passenger pegs. Looked like the person was litterally laying on top of the bike.

Done that a few times on some of the long straight highway sections in Eastern Washington.

themeatmanlandry · 10-01-2004, 09:21 AM

The only time I'd ever do anything that looked that derned stupid is if I'd been on the bike for 4+ hours that day, and my back needed a rest.

I'd try like hell to only do it for as long as I had to to rest the back, and I'd try not to be seen!!

wavyredlaurie · 10-01-2004, 09:28 AM

I'd stop and take a leg stretcher OFF the bike first. But then, I'm not into the hunched over riding position in the first place. Besides, I'd squash the goodies in my tank bag!

Yeah, I got the recipe from the Alice Toklas cookbook!

gotta love the hashish brownies, add some cannibus, and you have yourself a good laugh.

DISCLAMER: xbubbax does not endorse you ingesting hash/cannibus brownies and riding your motorcycle.

Hey, in the MSF course, they hit us hard about not drinking and riding. But nothing was said about my brownies!!!!!

If they're hash brownies . . . they already have cannabis in them!
