!!! SQUID of the DAY !!!

[thisisbenji]

I guess in Europe it's different, but here in the States, gear isn't the norm. I mean most of the cops look like this.

In the UK:

The difference is like night and day. I can't believe with how lawsuit happy the US is that we let our cops ride around dressed like the picture I linked.

The difference is like night and day-glow.

FTFY

I've always thought the same. It just seems crazy that you guys are all (generalisation) so obsessed with various "freedoms", but as soon some one exercises those freedoms, the lawyers come out. Very strange.

Or the rider with the helmet on the rear seat or helmet lock, but nothing on their head

I see a lot of that here in Colorado Springs. We have Ft.Carson, the Air Force Academy, Peterson Field, Cheyenne Mountain, and Schriever AFB. Although Colorado does not have a helmet law, all the military bases do! So once they get off the grounds, a lot of times the helmet comes off as well

Strangers taking pictures of strangers with skin showing and then posting them on the internet. Sort of creepy.

What, all your police have really titchy calfs?

Didn't get a picture of it (I was riding at the time) but saw a guy on his hog with shorts, t-shirt and a high-vis vest. Made me chuckle...

No picture, was on the bike and passed a guy on a vstrom. Out of state plate and was packed down with a lot of gear like he was on a trip. He was wearing a tank top, cargo shorts and sandals. He did have a helmet on though.

Yep, I've always wondered about the motor cops and lack of gear. I guess they're just too cool for it I just don't understand some things.

This is probably a good time to remind everyone of Brittnay's Story. You can read it here: Rock The Gear

Actually, I think he has too much gear/clothes on, I mean he is riding a Hog.

 

[thisisbenji]

I stand corrected, this is proper gear.

So the cop is in fact wearing all the gear.

 

[FIZZER6]

Sandal/flip flop wearing riders all have one thing in common....

They have never had a crash or they had a crash and miraculously were not harmed so they assume they are invincible!
Blah

 

[FZ09Bandit]

No helmet law or just an outlaw?

Both with his backwards hat. And the helmet on the side of the motorcycke lol

 

[nthdegreeburns]

My squid of the day is this lovely cafe racer (bike not pictured) in shorts, flip flops (not pictured) and a hoodie w/ the helmet.

Couple summers ago I saw a young lady with no gear (no helmet) and she was staring at her phone in her left hand. Don't know if she was dialing or texting... :disapprove:
