View Full Version : Should I be a tiger?
Professor
03-03-05, 08:32 PM
Our local Yamaha dealer has discounted novelty ears and tails to
£2.49 a set. Apparently, nobody buys them.
My reaction was that I can finally afford them and today I arrived at
work looking like this:

Unfortunately, many of my colleagues did not approve saying that I
look stupid. In particular, one elderly colleague who used to ride a
BSA in the 1950s thought that the ears and tail came with the helmet
and asked whether there is any way they can be cut off.
So should I be a tiger?

Good question!
I dunno is my answer.
The plus side i think is that the traffic (the ones that see you that is) will think "oh at least that one has a sense of humour"
Downside, the same gits will think.... "he's a big softy.. i can cut him up and get away with it. he wont chase me home and bash my face in when i get out the car"
So i guess it depends on your riding style and attitude.
Take it from a guy who gets called "Spidey" by every idiot he encounters. Some have cut me up and laughed.... till i lift my visor and they see pure evil hatred in my eyes. :lol:

I've seen the trailer and I'm still looking forward to it, but I have a sinking feeling already. I just can't help feeling that they've polished the farce to the point where it's more like a cartoon than classic british comedy. I realise that I've only seen the trailer, so that's all I'm commenting on, but the acting also gives me the impression that the actors don't actually understand why it's funny.
Oh, and somebody mentioned that Zaphod doesn't have two heads, well, if you watch carefully, he kinda does. :wink:

Hey Professor,
I say... do what you want. Personally, would I wear them? No. But I also wouldn't ride a curvy over my pointy. It's all a matter of opinion. The people at the office or around town are going to find something to poke fun at you with, no matter what you do. They are jealous they don't have the balls to ride a bike or wear ears and a tail. If you take them off, come into the office with your leathers on, they will call you a Power Ranger. You gotta omitt some people's opinions now and then... But never omitt my opinion... ;) :lol: Just kidding. Good luck! :lol:

Not true. I'll ride 2000 miles across France with a stuffed monkey toy strapped to the back of my bike, frantically waving it's arms around. But I will not, under any circumstances, wear the ears and tail of any stuffed toy on my helmet.
It's simply a matter of personal taste.

Hitch-hikers guide may be too polished like Carsick said. It looks too Hollywood to be true to the original but then who knows.

I have had them on for one day only and they are still there. But, to be
honest, it is hard to believe that they will stay attached for too long.
Sooner or later nature will take its course and I will arrive home with one
ear. Problem is, you don't see them when riding (I have my mirrors
adjusted so that there is hope of seeing something behind me rather than
my ears) so no way of noticing when they go. I will make a public
announcement when they fall off.
The kit is supposed to hold at speeds of up to 170 mph but I haven't
ridden with it faster than 70 yet because it has been icy.
Haven't decided whether I will have the ears on my annual rideout as
they are currently attached to my "commuting" helmet. On rideouts I
normally use my "special occasions" helmet. But maybe I will move
my ears if they are still with me.
By the way, my DAS instructor had a similar novelty kit. It was a present
from his Missus so he could not just throw it away. At the same time he
felt embarrassed doing his instructing with this stuff on his helmet. What
he did, he attached them to his bike. I had a very long DAS (taking the
test 3 times) and the ears and tail stayed attached to the instructors'
bike for the whole 2 months.
My wife had the 'devil' horns on her lid and we'ed been upto a 130 and they still stayed on.

:lol: Yes, I did lose it once. The last day and we were racing back to the hotel through rain and mad French traffic. Got back and was told by the pack that it flew off into the central reservation just outside of the town.
I thought about it. Could I go back? It wasn't that far, although it was raining just outside of town (not in town though, and not further out of town, just one black cloud sitting inbetween :lol: ). No, it's just silly talk, it's only a stuffed toy...
So I got back on my bike and flew back up the dual carriageway :lol: Got to the end where there was a roundabout, and where I intended to head back into town slowly, keeping an eye on the road side....what was I thinking?. Le Flicke (as they call them in France :lol: ) were waiting at the roundabout pulling over people.... one of them being me :oops:
He said (in French) "What is the speed limit on that road?"
"eeeh, 110"
"And you were doing 165"
:oops: "sorry?"
"90 Euro's" Damn it.
I didn't have the cash on me so he held on to my V5 untill I returned with the cash.
I was so pi$$ed off as I rode back in the rain. I could hardly see anything through my misting visor, and heavy rain. I was casually looking at the central reservation , in a very grumpy mood, and thinking "can't believe this, 90 bloody Euro's and I didn't even find the stupid bloody silly stupid damn grring thing...!". Then I see this black blob "Can it be? No" But I pulled over in hope. And it was. Wet & dirty, there was Stranded (funny enough it got that name before it nearly got stranded) looking happy to see me.
I rode back with the biggest grin on my face - 90 Euro's? Worth every penny :D
Although I never did go back to collect my V5 :wink:

On a serious note according to my DAS instructor: The helmet should have a smooth surface so that if it hits the ground, it will slide. If there is anything attached to it that causes a snag, the helmet will twist and transmit this force to your neck, damaging it.
That is why the only rule that have for measuring if a helmet is worth a gold sticker for racing purposes is whether the vents pop off immediately on contact in the event of an accident.
I was all for a bit of silliness until I was told this.

Yeh i can see where he was coming from, but even if the adhesive was as strong as super glue or any bonded epoxy resins type stuff the material would just tear away leaving the part that was attached to the lid.
I dont think this type of attachemnt would cause any significant diffrence to the friction / grip of the lid would it?

Wow, Rupert, what a story! :thumbsup: I hope the monkey is still around and

episode in which Mr Burns tries to retrieve his teddy bear? I
guess life can be stranger than fiction.
As to lid attachments being a hazard I heard this view before. I
think somebody even mentioned that they might be illegal. Maybe
there is truth to it but I don't want to spend my life worrying
too much. So if I pass away prematurely please make sure that I am
buried with my tiger ears attached.
Reminds me of a story that was on the news a while ago. A
motorcycle funeral cortege was stopped by the police because the
bikers weren't wearing lids (sign of respect). The only one with a
lid on was the deceased. For some reason this didn't satisfy the
police.

Hey Prof, that sounds like the story behind the gentleman that owned my bike before me. His funeral was stopped because the guy driving the bike+sidecar had a tophat on, instead of helmet. They later concluded that he didn't need to wear a helmet. Very inconsiderate to stop them in the first place, they couldn't have been going over 10mph. That was all on the HTV news.

No, he died of a brain tumour. May he Rest In Peace. His family reluctantly sold his bike...get this... to buy a tomb stone for his grave.. give you the chills a little!
The family was really nice, and they really wanted the bike to go to a good home - they had turned down 2-3 other people that were interested, because they didn't "want some kid who's just got off a scooter" or "some lad who wants it for a muck about".

I lost a Red Setter ear on the M40!
3 years ago, when I went to the MCN bash at Butlins, Skegness, the g/f and I both had rubber spikey wigs attached to our helmets :oops: . I had a yellow one to match the bike and she had a red one. The idea came when I saw the wigs (for your head, not helmet) on a trip to Scarborough and thought they'd be a bit of fun on a bike helmet. They certainly attracted some attention in Skegness as there weren't really any helmet stick ons around at that time. Still have the wigs but don't really fancy putting them back on the helmet though, been there, done that etc.....

I know a funeral director who had the VAT inspector round. FD has only three staff, a receptionist and the morticians/drivers. The VATman was downright rude and said something like 'I'm used to dealing with much bigger organisations than you, this is peanuts'. FD recognised this condescension and rudeness for what it was and replied 'oh really, you can go in the cold room if you like, we have quite a few more people in there.'

I think the official Motrax name for these is Bishop. I guess vicars
have smaller ears.

Surely the matching novelty tails should go on the **** of your leathers, not the back of your helmet?
Saw a biker with "ears" at the weekend. Brown "Dog" ones, looked rather realistic, almost as if he had been skinning animals :?

No, the accompanying instruction shows the tail going on the back of the
helmet. In any case, my a*** is not smooth enough to hold a suction cup.

ARGHHHHH!!!!!!! Bad mental images! Once again a new dark place has opened in my mind! My eyes! My eyes!
On a brighter note... If you like the ears and things keep them! If I got rid of the things people tell me to get rid off then I wouldn't be half as happy as I am! Be different!

The poll has now closed and 2/3 have voted for ear removal. However,
as a substantial number (1/3) voted for ears staying I decided to
adopt a compromise solution: I will keep the ears until they fall of
due to natural causes. I promise (with great regret :( ) not to replace
them after that.

Prof, ignore everyone, it doesn't matter - you wear your ears, and you keep wearing. It's your helmet, it's your choice.
As long as you don't mind being laughed at :wink:

Aw c'mon now proff....some peeps laugh at my Spidey lid and think i must be a kid. Do i care?
Like hell i do!
When they fall off, get another style maybe? Mix n match em if you like. As long as they make you smile when you pull your lid on...keep em.
When the novelty wears off on you... take em off.
My 6yo daughter loves them, and wanted me to thread the cats ears and tail into her hair so she could wear them to school. Alas it couldn't be done in the time available this morning :lol:

Wouldn't the cat have objected? Ours would probably scratch my eyes out if I tried this. :D

My dog definitely objects. Now I have to keep my "tiger" lid in a
place he can't reach.

Oh, c'mon peeps it's just fun... I had some angel wings that attached to my lid, and also some devils horns..... I wore whatever was appropriate to my mood on that particular day. People do smile, and it seemed I was carved up less.
I've got a fluffy dog rucksack too.... he's got devils horns now as well.
