there's no "site sponsor" tag next to the user ID. Besides I would think that it takes more than 10 post and a couple of dollars to keep you from getting banned around here.

"Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, Here I am, Stuck in the middle with you!" It's great to be an American, not a problem in the whole world here other than what the heck four bozos may or may not be wearing on their head while riding!

Finally, an honest ****!

P.S. If you wear a Geman style helmet, don't rag on fingerless gloves, chaps or neons. Just sayin'...

The issue of being a forum sponsor would hurt him more , being most people that think he is a weenie , simply will take thier business elsewhere.... and unless someone is extremely offensive , why ban anyone?

I remember getting a pre-employment physical from a Doctor Klein awhile back,
i was asked,"Why would you get that tattooed on yourself...?"

I replied,
"To **** of Jews AND Christians..."

... i don't really consider myself a "hateful" person, at the time i got it i was younger and really into black metal(an extreme genre of metal that incorporates a lot of fascist symbols in it's imagery) and had a "FTW" kind of attitude.
Hell... even mainstream bands like Slayer use a lot of ****-esque symbols in their band logos and even call their fan club the "Slaytanic Wehrmacht". It's all about shock-value... not the promotion of National Socialism.




I ordered one that fit the same way from LeatherUp.com... sent it back fast.
Not only did it LOOK bad, but it sat up so high on my head i don't thing it would've helped AT ALL in an accident.
I was going to get a silver carbon fiber "Klink" helmet from ACC till they had that recall.
That's where I got mine. I've since got a DOT carbon fiber from Head Trip. Much better product-low profile and lightweight. I stuck a rubber mohawk on it though, so now I can bitch about the wind resistance. Ahh, the price of being funny.

They wear them to make you wet your pants. IF you had any ***** you would have asked him yourself instead of coming here to post about it.

They obviously don't care what you think. Doesn't get more American than that.
