Yeah .. I kown ... we were all new at one point and I'm being a turd.

I thiunk you have a valid point about his being outa shape.

I would think that if people were gonna ride they would at least be in half way decent shape.

Just my opinion.

My eye doc rides a Harley. From what he says, the folks we need to be concerned about are the legally blind drivers in the cages. He says it scares him when he recognizes his patients behind the wheel.

Heck, most bikers these days are doctors and lawyers. They're all as eccentric as your co-worker.

Folks, Stache already acknowleged he was being a turd in his second post on the thread. Sheesh!

Maybe the thread is a good wake-up call to all of us about the importance of being more thoughtful to the newby riders out there. Who knows, our advice just might save the new rider from death or serious injury someday. Who knows, we just might find a new riding partner.

But we won't know until we try.

<><Peace

And what does his being "outta shape" have to do with riding? Not all of us are lucky enoughto be a size 6, but just because someone carries around a few extra pounds does not mean they are outta shape. Besides I sure see a lot of beer guts in t-shirts riding around on a bike.

Riding a bike requires more physical endurance and skill then driving.

I ain't no size 6, I wear man's clothing.
