Should I be a tiger?
 
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?

I do think they look very, very stupid, but then, that never stopped me, so if you like them, go for it.

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:

hth a bit :D
