livin' Speed Cretin

Truth in advertising

* A friend sent me a link to a helmet called, I swear it is true, the Speed Cretin.



* The ad copy goes like this:

    'Sometimes you just twist throttle, dump clutch, and go. No questions, no drama, no repercussions. Thats livin' Speed Cretin. All fu*k'd up with nowhere to go. True motorcycling passion. True internal combustion. True piston slappin fury. Be Speed-Live Speed. If you're feeling really frosty throw on the included FSB fin kit for a little bit of what the French call 'a cretin, I don't know what'. Ridiculous? Perhaps - but deep down you know you love it. Available only in green as it further enrages the haters.'

* Now I know where those squids get their eye-bleeding gear.

They hit their market well.  I thought those were add ons on the guy I see with that helmet most mornings ... I have oftentimes wondered "Is this the day I get to see him kill himself?" The guy has no business on a motorcycle but buy his "technique" clearly thinks he is a moto god.  He will get to meet the real moto god soon enough.  Nothing like helping give motorcycles a bad name ... at least the video was tongue and cheek, but you know it just adds to the fever.

Hell, squids are NO worse than the drunKen Hardley Ablesome pirates weaving and bobbing all over the tarmac.

Sad fact that over 50% of motorcycle accidents involve alcohol consumption.

Some of the squids in Philadelphia are excellent riders, split lanes at warp speed. Splitting on the NJ North/South freeway or Schuylkill aka "surekill expressway" is a friggin trip,rivals Tokyo.
