stand up, scratch your nuts, pull your jeans out of your asscrack, then pretend to smell your fingers. Or go ahead and smell them for real if you're so inclined.

I too had this feeling this summer. Traced it to riding with my bat and ***** hanging out when I would stop and put my left foot down...... everything would just fall left and hang. Now if the bike was cold and idled lumpy it tool it to a new level,everything would sortajump around making for a sort of "puppet show". Could be an epidemic if not caught soon enough.

ORIGINAL: scoobs Quit wearing the assless chaps dude!
I am really trying to quit, especially w/the cold weather coming and all... But, now that they are throwing this stop light etiquette thing in, it's going to make it much harder to quit.

LMAO at this thread.

I usually don't make eye contact with anyone unless they go out of their way to get my attention, and 99.9% of the time, they wanna say "Nice Bike" or something along those lines, so I just smile and nod. Wearing shades helps. Unless it's a long light, I'm usually paying little attention to who's looking at me anyway, and more to the traffic light and what the traffic is doing.

Kids will try to get your attention more than anyone though. I've found that cracking the throttle open at them tends to make them cower down and hide. Problem solved!! J/K

This thread turned out pretty funny. I like a lot of your ideas...I am afraid, however, that most of them will get me arrested
