My Co-worker is the Michelin Man

Figured its just one tire, might as well roll down the road to catalyst reaction wearing some extra pilot power 3 protection.

p.s. that's my track/commuter bike on the front, with the MM on the front fairing lol... running M Cups! they are sick tires :thumbup

 

[Zerox]

I would never ride like that...I would have the tire around my waist. :laughing

 

[EastBayDave]

been there, done that, back in the day where I only had a bike, no car.

 

[Whisky_Richard]

His tank must love that.

I have done it. Waist.

 

[Kestrel]

Pretty sure the tire isn't going to do a damned thing in the event of an accident.

 

[etxxz]

it has to do something.


but yeah around the waist a la hula hoop is not a terrible idea.. one may actually be able to carry the pair that way hehe.

Yep, two around the waist. That's definitely a lot more comfortable.

Don't let the tire detract from the fact that he isn't wearing any gear.

Queue gear nazis in 3, 2, 1.....

 

[kurth83]

Yeah he needs more tires for better protection...

 

[ST Guy]

Yep, no where near enough of the proper gear. :x

And to top if off, if you should crash while that thing is around you, there's an excellent chance that you'll be hurt more. And for the same reason, that's whey backpacks are a bad idea unless all you've got in them are a couple soft pieces of clothing. The worst are those hard shell backpacks.

 

[limey]

Much easier with a 21" front tire off a DS/dirt bike . Especially if you are of generous girth...

damn four, and car tires!

 

[EastBayDave]

had to do that every time I needed a new tire put on...

I did it the "over the shoulder way," not around the belly...
