Messing Around While Riding

Some get it, some don't. And some of you act like we do it in heavy traffic, we don't. And ST guy, I've been doing this a long time, if shit happens, well, nobody to blame but ourselves. I guess fun has a different meaning to different people. A lot of people ride scared, afraid to take risks, if I was afraid to take risks, I wouldn't ride a streetbike.
 
red light turns green....hit your bud's kill switch and take off. haven't done it in many years though.

So, do you and your longtime riding buddies mess around on the road?

I have a buddy who used to kill-switch me all the fuckin time. One evening we're at a light in Paso Robles and I'm in a piss poor mood; he reaches over to kill switch me as the light turns green. I reach across and take the keys out of his bike then throw them in the back of the pickup in front of us, which proceeds to drive off. I then re-start my bike and ride home.

Didn't see him for a couple days, and he's never kill-switched me again.
 
Lol @ beau. It should definitely be a situation where mutual consent is present. If both sides don't find it funny, then it definitely isn't funny.
 
i'm with Bonerov for sure.
yeah its all about time and place. hitting your buddies kill switch between turn 3 and turn 4 would be stupid and dangerous; but doing so on highway 5 with no cars around to rearend your buddy - good times :laughing

just dont do it to DJnick; he gets all butt hurt cuz his crapzuki check engine light comes on sometimes when you hit the kill switch :wow oh wait, that makes it twice as fun :laughing
 
HA! I remember the time when someone (was it Jason?) kill-switched someone at a red light from their car. It was hilarious! He didn't expect that!
 
Some guys are getting all wierd and serious about it. Remember, I consider my bikes, toys that happen to get me to work. I don't do this with everybody, shit I don't trust people enough to ride with most of them, just some people I've been riding with forever. I just hope nobody killswitches me, and a car pulls out, and my power steering and power brakes don't work, and, and, and....
 
If you are ever going light to light on relatively deserted street with a friend playing get off the line quickly. 3rd or 4th light is always best for a kill switch. Time it right with the light change. :laughing

Heck fire, we still do it! Kill switch or keys off at a stop light, bump the rear tire, grab an elbow on the way past. It's male bonding. And yes it's only funny until someone gets hurt...then it's hilarious!

:thumbup

Coming back across Nevada one night a friends headlamp went out. Took the lead and after about an hour of hwy 50 and nothing to look at the mind was getting numb. Stood on the center stand and left a shower of sparks. :laughing

Pansy-ass??? And yes, done at the wrong time in the wrong place, death could be the result. Or serious injury. And if you can't see that could happen, I feel sorry for you.

I ride my own ride and I sure as fuck don't fuck with others ride.

I've had a couple of ass-grabs from experienced riders who are cute enough to get away with it. Almost non-stop tire bumps from that damned sister-marrying inbreed up north at every stop sign :)love)... but I'd be pissed if someone hit my kill switch, though. And I wouldn't do that to anyone else... although I did think about it once... :teeth
