So I get my new bandit last week and now finally have all the stickers removed! There were five of the ugly buggers in plain sight, in french and english, warning me of various dangers involved in riding a motorcycle! Does every country in the world do this sh!t, or is it just the canadian do-gooder government that goes overboard?
They read (these are from memory so they may not be quite accurate!):
1. "Keep the windshield clean at all times. If you do not, then a crash could result." I don't know about you but the windshield on my bike barely covers my groin area so i have no idea what they are worried about.
2. "If you drink 98 bottles of beer, your driving will be affected and an accident could result!" Piss off! I'm 46 years old so I don't need to be told that, you jerks!
3. "Because your seat interacts with the gas tank quite readily and your four cylinder engine does vibrate on occasion, it has been noted that certain riders who move forward on the seat tend to feel the vibration of the bike through their gonads. On some particular riders, we have noted that a europhic state occurs after a few minutes of feeling these vibrations! Thus, we must warn you to move your nether regions back on the seat or serious injury could occur. Furthermore, if a policeman or woman spots you riding with your pelvic area thrust forward, charges may be laid."
'Nuff Said!
Sorry, guys and gals - just had to vent.
