Should I be a tiger?

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 . 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.....

police.

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 know this is rich coming from me as i have a collection of about 12 rucksacks in various guises of nutty tart, scooby doo, sheep, rocky the chicken but i draw the line at ears and tails on my helmet.

my daughter has devil horns and tail on hers but shes 12 its still cute at that age

It crops up in my mind now and again

But I felt guilty when I dropped the bike last year

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!
