You can’t ride like that!

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Oleg Volk

These two are well equipped for the the less common human road hazards, but they are missing leather and helmets for the more usual perils. It takes both — and good judgment — to be safe.

    Very cool photo! A Glock and an RFB look like great accessories for a road trip. I’d also like to see the passenger with long pants and good jackets on both parties, if they’re going on the road. Road rash is no fun! For a photo session, though, they’re well-prepared.

    Stay safe,
    Bob

    Didn’t some European country ban that? (Not the guns, but the passenger “riding pillion” as the British call it, though it is usually called something else in the US.) Though they did ban it due to the number of assassinations that were being performed by the passenger on a motorcycle, so they probably wouldn’t like the driver with a rifle either.

    They’re better equipped than the pair that switched lanes in front of me last week. She was wearing a bikini top and bottom. He wasn’t wearing a top.

    Not unless they moved Honduras. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/09/honduras-bans-motorcycle-passengers-shootings

    Howdy All,

    1. No helmet required by law in Iowa, and some other Midwestern States.

      And eye/ear protection isn’t *required* for shooting guns, but it would be smart to use them…just like riding without protective clothing is a short-term thrill.
