    Do not set a full open beer on the trunk of the bike and rev the bike up... That beer is now the garage floors beer. If I knew it was thirsty I would have brought out 2!

    I cant believe you would waste a beer like that, while some of us slave away working...go back indoors, drink three more and think about what youve done...

        I suppose it is still better on the ground, then soaking into various components on the bike...

          that was my thought... better off the trunk than in the trunk. My Helmet and gloves would smell like a stale beer

              Beer foam sweat, and fresh beer turning bad are 2 different smells my friend. 1 smells like you've been drinking all night... the other smells like the next morning. When I bought my new helmet I wanted a half helmet but it had to have a removable inner. So I could wash my funk out of it without the use of a garbage can and trip to Cyclegear....The scorpion exo-100 is badassness! looks funny on my giant head, but what do I care... I don't have to see me! and the quick down 1 touch smoked visor is SICK! check it out!

                          So when you ride your Special with high heeled boots, like Kat...









                          ... Does it make you feel special?
                          Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

                          You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
