    Crazy things you see on a ride

    I thought it might be funny to post up the craziest things you've seen on your rides. Bonus points for pics.



    A couple weeks ago there was a guy in front of me on a Harley in a full Santa suit...in 95* weather.

    Saturday, a guy rode by me on a Harley with a poodle sitting up on the tank. The poodle was wearing a pair of goggles and a little leather hat.

    I see people pulled over on 93 all the time doing this. I mean is it really that much of an inconvenience to put you're helmet on in NH if you know you're going to Massachusetts?

    You suck at life. Why don't you quit?

    My dad told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. So I became an Asshole.

    That doesn't bother me... I just thought it was a friggin riot that this guy couldn't even bother to pull over for two seconds. He was drifting back & forth and had to make an effort just to stay within his lane while fumbling around with this thing.

    I was half hoping he'd drop it so I could run it over in my car

    I was waiting for a light to change and a guy on a Harley pulls up and says, " you dont have the balls to trip the light huh?" and proceeds to rev the crap out of his engine. Meanwhile a car across the way trips the light, and he stalls as I pull away,,,

    Re: Crazy things you see on a ride

    Years ago I almost hit a coyote that was taking a dump in the middle of my lane on a corner without much visibility. It was dark out which made it even harder to see but the little bugger didn't even bother to move as I rode by.

    Funny. Same exact thing almost happened to me once.

    Pucker moment = turd cut short. I had to poop again 20 minutes later. No idea how the biker missed me.

    Saw an obese woman on a rascal with presumably her husband holding on and being pulled along while sitting in his wheel chair. I've actually seen this kind of thing on a few occasions.

    Yeah. Sorry about that. My missus says my driving does that to her. Guess she isn't impressed with my power-shifting skillz.

    SRTie4k,

    When you saw the guy with the poodle were you in the Lynn, Peabody, Salem area? I met a guy one night at a bar who had his dog tied to the Harley and he had the goggles. When the guy left the dog mounted the tank and laid there for the ride.

    The guys nickname was Pidgeon because he would make the same noise as a pidgeon lol

    Re: Crazy things you see on a ride

    The funniest thing I saw was not on a motorcycle rather a scooter in Lynn in the dead of winter. There was a man and woman (woman was passenger) that had about 20 grocery bags on the scooter and the woman had about 4-6 bags in her hands, while also holding a 12pk of paper-towels. It was a riot watching them try to get out of the parking lot without dropping everything.

    I did feel bad after though because they probably had no other way to get to the store and back home, but for christ sake WALK it's safer
