I think he weighs more than the bike - Page 2

Ehh he's a fellow rider... a large one... but he rides... I do think he needs to put on some gear...

the dude has to know he makes the bike small so he knows everyone stares... Props to him... most people that size want nothing more than to hide in a corner... out of sight.

That's silly. There's very little you "can't do". I just don't want to be the guy in the other airplane or roller coaster seat. My boss is HUGE. He used to play football and is like 6'7". He's just a big guy. He buys two seats when he flies to guarantee that he has enough room and that he isn't inconveniencing others.

I have to say, this is funny as hell. Now, other than no gear. Which would be hard to find for him. He could get the suspension built to suit his weight. The bike would never preform to the standards it was meant but would be safer for him to ride. Still feel sorry for the bike tho. I dont care if he was on a Harley.

Bullshit.

There are plenty of things that are downright dangerous to many more than just you if you don't *fit* into/onto it. What about reaction time on that bike? If he can't move because he is shoe-horned onto the damn thing?

As far as rollercoasters go - I was at Six Flags when they denied and moved a guest because he was H-U-G-E. The same guy went to another ride after my daughters and I. I didn't ride the same train he was on. Not interested, and it isn't anything personal - I just don't want to die because someone else can't put the ho-ho down.

Larger people have worse reaction times? Shit, I didn't know. Maybe I shouldn't ride any more since I'll be endangering the lives of others and all.

Now, I could see his weight creating a greater likelihood of the front tucking in a panic stop, but the likelihood isn't any more than it would be for someone riding two up.

This is why there are bikes of different sizes. When I read a magazine bitching that their 5'6" 125lb reviewers can't touch the ground, I want to beat them down. Everything isn't sized for a woman you dick.

This guy should have bought a bike that fit HIM. That bike ain't it.

I make a Uly look small. I would probably make a 600 look like a pocket bike.

That dude is a big bastard, but even if he went on a diet, that bike would be too small for him.

they don't make 600's in S M and L... so in order to get a BIGGER bike you've gotta up the cc's... so does that mean old dude has to start on a 1000cc's?

even with his weight... that 600 will still haul ass... faster than most cars

unless you were talking about if he's over the GVW... then I agree... but if he's a new rider... what choice is he left with really other than to step up in CC's.

He's exempt from being called a squid due to absolutely no gear fitting him.

Yup and also he can lose a few layers of skin and be just fine

FT BSTRD · 11-03-2008, 10:34 PM

There are less suitable steeds:
