Austin, 1098 rider, Mohawk on helmet..

Kinda reminds me of one of the few other TLR riders I met in Austin back when I had mine.
He rode up to EZ's when we were having our bike night... fairly squidly, except for the oh so stylish silver German army helmet... and announced "WHERE THE PARTY AT?!"

...

Yeah...

ya know... that hawk got your attention didn't it? probably grabbed a lot of soccer moms attention too... it may have been played out by all the "hooligans" a couple years ago...

but I've honestly thought of sporting one... I could care less what other bikers think of how I look... (why I sport a safety reflective vest at night and in the rain) but extra visibility is nice.

If they'd let us strap sawed-off shotguns to our bikes, that'd get their attention too.
Unfortunately, that gets the wrong kind of attention.

actually... I don't know that it's illegal to strap a shotgun to your helemt... it's not concealed... so not like you have to have a special permit. kinda like a gun rack

You could put a yellow flashing light on top of your helmet too ebbs, but thats not going to stop us from pointing and laughing

Hell, even that probably wont stop a mini van mom/pop from looking right through you either!

Mr Lefty · 02-12-2009, 10:24 PM

Back in my sport riding days, I wouldn't get out of the lane when they moved over, I'd just ride the line right next to them until they looked up and realized I was there.
Some of the reactions were pretty funny.
Of course, the oblivious fucks were probably saying "Why did that damn punk ride up next to me like that?! Those motorcycles are just too dangerous!"

Depends on if you live in an open carry state. FL is not an open carry state (as far as I know) so I can't walk around with my Sigma on my hip, kind of a bummer.

There was a case in Texas (which is an open carry state, what a shock) where a woman failed to properly conceal her "concealed" weapon and was taken to court for it. Her punishment? She could no longer conceal her weapon until she re-took the CCW and then had to carry it around openly displayed.

Who told you that crap?
Texas is one of the very few states which specifically forbids open carry. You can carry concealed if you have the permit or not at all.
