it's ok happyfeet, I guess briefly my point is I've riden bikes fo 35 years , I have tatoo's on one hand, on the other I 've worked hard busted my butt and moved up the corporate ladder, my wife and I both have 6 figure income jobs, when I play golf with clients at the countryclub my company belongs to I of coarse have my tatoo's covered up because people there would judge you, part of the alure of biking besides the pure fun of riding is they don't judge you, I have friends who are true bikers they don't hold it against me for having success at work nor are they impressed by it, they accept you for the person you are, they'll stop and help a broken down rider not just ride by, they don't judge a book by it's cover, although they do laugh at the bling I put on my bike, but today as all different types are riding bikers are now starting to judge one another off looks, or stickers , shifter linkage or what ever and we shouldn't bring that bs over here, America is Great because we can have different political ,religious or what ever beliefs and still have a beer together and get along , Ride Safe and be Free

Gotta cast my vote for this reply as about the wisest, most succinct comment on the matter. I think my wise old mother would have similarly assessed, "A weak mind, expressing itself forcefully."

I ask, what has the rest of the world (going contentedly about its daily routine) done, to deserve such contemptuous dismissal, simply for looking over your [otherwise] sharp looking bike? What ever happened to common decency, manners, and courtesy? I'd hope you'll rethink what you're saying about yourself; you're not really saying anything to, or about "the world".

Well, the link is broken, so I don't know what it says. But I'd likely agree with the majority! Doubt it would be on my bike, and who knows what I would think if I saw it parked someplace....

I have a "Big Dicks Half Way Inn" sweat shirt from Lake of the Ozarks, it's a bar at the 49.5 mile marker. 1/2 way down the lake. They have a sweat shirt or "T" shirt that has a likeness of a Pen*s in a row boat! I WONT wear it out in public,, it's my garage/auto work sweat shirt.

On the dangling nuts thing,,,, I think the guys that have those hanging off their trucks, either wish they had a real truck! (I drive an F-350 Dually) and have to try to make it look tough!

Or, the other possibility is that their wife/girlfriend

just let them take their NUTZ outa their purse and hold them for a while! They decided to hang them off the truck bumper!

And this post got revived a year later because???????????

FWIW, it is/was his personal ride and he is entitled to do with it what he wants. Just like I am entitled to disagree with it being at all tastefully, FTW attitude or not. No different than wearing assless chaps, or half of the other stuff countless threads have gone over and over for years.
