So far the only thing I can think of is to Buy a Honda. Then I won't want to look at it... :)

The only problem I see here is the silly thing on top of your helmet. Seriously dude, what purpose does it serve? (Dont take it the wrong way). Besides, it shouldn't stand a chance when the busa is opened up :spank:

[triumph]

because i can . maybe you should ask pan the same question .

Okay, this is a serious response in a "taking the piss" thread... but here goes:

I bought the mohawk over a couple of years ago on the advice of a fellow rider (not Triumph :dohsmiley:) who explained that it increases visibility because, basically, "you stand out a little more".

Well, it works! I've ridden with it and without it over the last couple of years, mostly in Sydney traffic, and generally people notice you more, and hence are more likely to stop, avoid you, etc...

Sure, it's deadly embarrasing as well, but I wear a tinted visor at all times, and when people say, "was that you on the Busa with a mohawk?", I say, "nah, I've got a Busa, but I wouldn't be such a goose to put a broom on my head!!!" :hatter:

My track record: 2 years, no tickets, no offs. Sure it depends on luck as wel, but to those that haven't tried it and ride around town almost every day like I do, it's a cheap investment ($25-$30) and worth trying. You'll be amazed how much more you get noticed by car drivers (and school kids on buses, and shoppers, construction workers, mothers with prams that hide their kids, etc) :)

Triumph on the other hand, wears it because he wants to be like me one day... :dancesmiley: He told me he was looking on eBay for a Hayabusa sticker to put on his bike too! :lmao:

[Andrew B]

Fair response. I wasnt being that serious, but you do make a good point.
Still think it looks rediculous tho, even if it does make you stand out
Just my 2 bob

[dilbee]

i dont mind em pan. Its good to stand out in the crowd. I was thinking getting some puppy dog ears.:lmao:

Not sure they'd have the same effect. You may have to gel them or rub some Viagra into them so they stand upwards!

[triumph]

maybe he could get some antlers .

Okay, it started as a hunch, but NOW I HAVE EVIDENCE!!!!!
