Bike Rice [cager rant]

Those shitty homebrew HID’s just blind everyone at night and don’t make you sweet or safer… just stop.

Neither does a mohawk on your helmet when you’re only riding a 250, one step up from a scooter.

Feel free to add to the list.

you noticed them, and they’re still alive, so STFU and cry that no one will weld in a text pipe on your rotten exhaust for another month.

Cagers arent allowed in this section. GTFO.

Shut the fuck up.

That’s all I have to contribute.

What’s a text pipe?

Better than the shitty setup you wanted, more than you can afford pal.

why don’t i make a thread about all the cars and trucks with HIDs in non-projector housings? or maybe i should make a thread about every car on the road that doesn’t bother to look for motorcycles and almost runs me over on a daily basis?

meh… my shitty HID’s have probably stopped multiple people from pulling out in front of me… also… they have helped me notice many animals and other possible accident causing objects when its dark outside…

lastly… that shitty mohawk that the dude with the 250 is wearing… is just as shitty as the dude with the 1000/750/600/1400/50 cc scooter…

those mohawks suck. so do the pointy bolts that people use to fasten fairings/windscreens to the bike…

+1. Precisely put, nothing more to add.

Last summer a douche with a mohawk helmet went swerving between stopped cars to get to the front at a red light on the 198 . He took off like a scalded cat, lost sight of him when he disappeared down the ramp to the 33 eastbound at a ridiculously high speed…

When I took that ramp myself about 15 seconds later I saw him again- right after I saw his skid marks. He was trying to get his bike back on its wheels.

And these ghetto aftermarket HIDs are for inconsiderate retards; I’d love to see people start getting ticketed for them. Seems like everyone who has them, even otherwise normally intelligent people, thinks that theirs is a magic car/bike/whatever with headlights in which the hids “work just fine in”.

I’d rather be inconsiderate with bright headlights than to be dead/injured because some inconsiderate asshole in a car didn’t see me at night.

Do e-code headlights exist for bikes? Or higher wattage stock-fitment bulbs?

You can surely have brighter lights without ricing out your vehicle.

I bet you drive a Neon, Cager!!! Hate on our lights, hate on people with mohawks. Your snobby attitude and moto hate is not welcome on this side of the fence. I can post about how some dick in a car cut me off once so I kicked his mirror off after he brake checked me… OR how your parents funded your fart can exhaust and rainbow LED’s on your Grandma’s hand me down car. Really don’t hate dude.

i like the mohawks on helmets

please explain how brighter headlights are rice?

I give more room and respect to bikers on the road than 99.9% of the rest of the people out there driving but I got really annoyed when there was a bike behind me with shitty HID’s, where whenever it ran over the slightest dip, hump, or bump, basically if the bike wasn’t flat the lights dimmed to a barely visible level then back to a blinding brightness when it was level again creating a strobing effect to an unsafe & severe degree. It was soo distracting I pulled down a side street just so they could pass me. I can’t imagine what it would of been like to encounter that on a turn or from the other direction, def worse. If you want brighter lights, do it right.

It’s not if it’s done correctly. If you do a shitty job and it distracts more than anything… it’s just rice like someone doing it to their car.

Who told you damnit??!!

To each his own man. My GTI sits adequately low stock, and combined with a large rear hatch window causes any truck to be blinding behind me, same goes with any car that comes stock with HID’s. I either move over for them to pass, or flip my rear view mirror up to block it. It happens in all vehicles.

Rear view is a minor annoyance, easily remedied.

When coming from an oncoming vehicle instead of through an easily-adjusted rearview mirror, though, it’s more of a hazard than an irritation.

Hope you guys get tickets. :smiley:

Hope someone sticks a hot soldering iron in your dickhole.

But hey, whatever.
