Helmet Sticker?

Posted on by 1 comment

We have a new nomination for a helmet sticker!

The following email was sent to me:

Since I purchased my ’06, Heritage Softail on 8/17/05. I have ridden over 33,000 miles…. and I have never been caught in the rain.  The bike has never been wet except to wash it.  I have ridden the BR Parkway to D.C. and back; several trips to PC Beach; the Natchez Trace Parkway; and I live within an hour of the Dragon, but not one drop of rain. Why can’t I win the Lottery?  Also, add my girlfriend, the TNbikerbitch, too. She has ridden with me on her ’07 Honda Shadow over 15,000 miles and she hasn’t been wet either.

The whole helmet sticker concept is to reward acts of stupidity and/or acts of greatness.  As I look over an application for a helmet sticker I am looking for an accomplishment that is worthy of the very high praise that a helmet sticker conveys.  I have to tell you that I really don’t see much in the way of stupidity here.

Here is what is working against you:

  • You nominated yourself.  That never looks good.  If you want to nominate yourself you are better off to pretend to be somebody else when you nominate yourself.  It just looks better that way.
  • You speak of riding in comfort for 3 years.  Riding in comfort?  What is that all about?
  • Why would anybody wash a motorcycle?
  • I am not even going to touch on the fact that your girlfriend has been with you a long time and has never been wet.

You do seem like a good guy, and I would love to see you get a helmet sticker, so lets see what we can put down in favor of getting a helmet sticker:

  • 33,000 miles is a long way for a Harley.  How many rebuilds on the engine did that take?
  • You live in Tennesse, and you live near the Gap.
  • With a name like TNbikerbitch it sounds like your girlfriend could probably kick my sissy ass so I would not want to upset her.

I am sorry my man, but I just cannot award a helmet sticker at this time, but I know how you can earn one.

Next time I am down there we will get together and do some riding.  If I am there it will rain.  We will then ride in the rain and I will give you a helmet sticker!

  1. If the guy had ridden 33,000 miles in the rain, now that would be something!
