I was just presenting an opinion, it had nothing to do with being offended. Whether something is 'lame' or not is a matter of personal opinion. What gets me is the self absorbed d-bags who feel the need to throw the word "stupid" around, especially when they are clearly not the sharpest knives in the drawer themselves.

I don't have a headset, or a gps, or a pa system, or any kind of music system.

I think it's actually funny when self absorbed blowhards act like their opinions somehow carry more weight that others, and feel the need to belittle other people and call them "stupid" because the use 2 way communication or have a frigging cup holder. Does it help boost your self-esteem to insult and belittle others?

Careful you don't hurt yourself falling off that high horse.

 

Seriously? A Harley rider ragging on people for noise pollution? Really?

Do you have quiet mufflers on your bike? If not, I can't think of anything more hypocritical than someone who rides a bike with loud pipes criticizing others for the noise they make with their stereo.

 

1. Straight pipes or fart can noisy mufflers. Probably the same deaf guys that don't understand why anyone would listen to music/talk to a passenger on a motorcycle. Probably has a small foreign car in garage next to Harley, with loud fartcan exhaust also.

2. Novelty helmets. This is the biker equivalent of putting on makeup while you drive. "It's how I look Dahling..."

3 Bikes with suspension. I rode a hardtail kickstart knucklepan ironhead with a barbed wire and eagle talon seat covered in rattlesnake venom to the artic circle via the Panama Canal in November wearing only 27 year old jeans, a Schott dingleberry jacket and some used leather gloves peeled from Casey Jones' dead hands. No radio, no GPS, hell no fancy ignition contraptions, pulled by a horse, that's right, hay power, the original MANs horse.

Really though, I am amazed, or maybe not, how this turned into a "I don't think how you ride your bike is cool. I am cooler because I don't use _____ ." fill in blank with GPS, Radio, iPod, getback whip, facemask, chaps accessories I don't want. Be different, ride a bike, but don't do it different then I do, because I am cool... Lame

 

Worst thing I probably ever bought was the Kuryakyn front axial blade spinners.
I thought it was a cool concept until they came. They were plastic crap phony knife blades that spun it you spun them but didn't spin while riding cause the plastic junk chrome phony blades were too light to spin in the wind. And the blades didn't have bearings to allow them to spin. Pure junk.

 

You guys are totally missing the whole point of this product - from the website:

*Does the wind wick the moisture from your lips through that mask?

I went riding yesterday and my lips are chapped - they hurt real bad....

 

One thing this thread has shown is that there are a few self-important accessory-snobs on this forum. A lot of the stuff posted was hilarious, and I think everyone agrees truly "lame", but some people just like to stroke their own egos by proclaiming certain riding accessories to be officially 'uncool', and then feel the need to enforce their opinions if anyone disagrees.

 

willie g skulls.
ok if your 10 years old, but come on.
is it supposed to make you a tough guy putting that lame *** crap on your ride????????

 

This. Unless you have arm and leg restraints that cage is going to do some damage in a bad wreck to the person strapped inside.
