Well I guess I was the victim of "constructive boredom" today. I went to the local automotive paint supplier today and picked up some pin striping. I applied the striping to my KCB helmet and walla...the helmet now has Mladin's Laguna look to it, it also matches the colors of the bike better. Here are some before and after shots.

So you added the red? Looks great.

Hey GothamEMS, do the guys on your department rib you
about riding a "Donor-cycle"? I usually just told them to
"Shut-up and drive the puss bus, I'll call you if I need you" lol.

 

[GothamEMS]

Well actually, I am on the rescue. To answer your question, do I get my "ballzzz busted for having a donar cycle", YES, unmercilesly, especially when we respond to a motorcycle crash, that is when I hear the comments over the intercom. We acctually refer to the rescue as "the suck bus", because when your on the busiest rescue in the city, well...it sucks, especially after midnight. It took me about 2 years to get the balls to buy my bike, considering what I've seen. :mrgreen: Oh, when I got home I figured the helmet needed a little more color on top, so I added more striping to the helmet.

Yeah, I get messed with all the time cuz I ride a "crotch rocket" and not a Harley like the others firefighters.


Oh well, sucks to be them ....:lol:

We were always told that if you get a call after midnight and
no-one was drunk, keep looking because someone was missing.
Heard the crotch rocket bit also, I had my 86' GSXR 1100 when
I joined our dept.

LOL! Our commander has a Hardly-Drivable too. Our volunteer firebrigade has 20 people, more than half of us have bikes - everything from dirt bikes to cruisers is represented. One of the commanding officers is a (what is the politically correct term?) dwarf - he is less than 4 feet tall. He has a quad ...

How about this for a perspective, my dept. has 240 members, one of the few FD on the east coast that has more members than it's PD, 210. I would have to say that at least 60% of the guys have bikes, I am one of three who ride a street bike. It is so funny when I go out riding with my friends from work....just, very funny :mrgreen: .... Here you have a group of guys wearing all leathers, "harley"(doesn't even warrant a capital, H) type gear, and I tool up with my GSXR, dressed in street gear, LOL!!! :mrgreen:

Oh, check out this pic of a crash I found online, "Holy $hit"

 

[Ride-or-die]

noce work with the lid, it takes great skill to be able to do pin striping, and its a slow steady process but well worth it, bet ur being doing it on the bike next

Wow for once the motorcycle WON! :twisted:

 

[Ride-or-die]

Wow for once the motorcycle WON! :twisted:

i dont know if the rider would agree with that

 

[stevie c]

Thats gotta hurt!Hope the rider was ok,doesn't look promising though.

 

[jaydog19833]

For some reason I think the rider walked away fine......I don't know why, maybe it's rider intuition.
