IT'S A BOY THING, MOST OF US WHO ARE INTO THINGS THAT GO FAST AND MAKE LOUD NOISE HAVE, SINCE CHILDHOOD, LABOURED LONG AND HARD OVER GETTING THE LOCATION OF OUR CHOSEN STICKERS JUST EXACTLY 'SO' . . . . C'MON, ADMIT IT, THE CAR, THE BIKE, THE HELMET, THEY'RE JUST A BLANK CANVAS TO STICKER UP . . . . IT'S ALSO ABOUT SUPPORTING THOSE YOU RESPECT.
Stickers are essential, no better example than the sticker on the tank of a 100cc Honda near work; "THIS STICKER ADDS AT LEAST 5hp"
ReplyDeleteMy first helmet was a red metal flaked open face that I 'talked' the salesman into throwing in on the deal, when I bought my first bike. Piece of crap cheap helmet...but it did save my butt when I had my first head over heels freeway get-off (thank you lady in the big station wagon that caused that wreck, and didn't even look back as she hit and ran...karma...bitch...). I placed a metal flake red white and blue peace-sign sticker strategically over the damaged area on the area on the back where the most damage occurred...that made it good enough for a couple more years of use...
ReplyDeleteMy military father gave it a critical look, but decided that because it was red/white/and blue... it was cool...
