Here is another of what I mean:

Ignore the squid gear.  Is he too tall to ride safely?

If he tucks, he will be hanging off the front!

I must be missing something.

I mean those white leathers are ugly as hell and should be ridiculed mercilessly. Other than that, was this posted just to make fun of an over weight guy just because he rides motorcycles at a track. Because we are all so make the beast with two backsing perfect that we should feel entitled to belittle other people we don't even know just for being over eight and having the audacity to participate the same hobby we do. Really? Keep it classy.

I didn't post it to ridicule fat folks, I posted it because I am really surprised to see someone who so clearly is obese on a sport bike going to the track.  I'm no lightweight, but the physical challenges associated with riding are multiplied by whoknowswhat for a guy like that.

I mean... More power to him, but if you can't even go into a proper tuck on the bike, it might be time to try another passtime.

I would have posted the pic if it was a rail-thin guy who was 7 ft tall as well.  Ducatis (and sport bikes in general) just don't fit everyone.

Here ya go Sac:

my 2 year old daughter treats toy bears the same way.  

letting the child play with a dead animal of this type is bordering on abuse.  she doesn't know anything about disease etc.  

And I'm not some pussy tree hugger saying that, I've slaughtered and butchered my own chicken, turkey, goats and lambs.  I'd do my own cow if I could, but they are too big.  I don't give a damn about the squirrel and I'm not squeamish about dead stuff.

nope.  like i said, i would have posted it if it was a rail-thin guy who was 7ft tall.  i'm probably at the physical limit of size and weight for a ducati to be operated optimally (6'1 and 220).. of course, someone heavier can ride, but the bike isn't going to behave the same way.  sure they will have a lot more traction....

Its okay dude, I hate it when I get called out for posting something douchey too.

So I'll answer your question seriously. why? Maybe because, it puts a huge make the beast with two backsing smile on his face. Maybe he enjoys the challenge. Maybe he doesn't really give a shit whether people use his picture to get a cheap laugh or compensate for soemthing. Maybe he's gotten over his insecurities and finds it amusing when people poke fun at him in a failed effort to mask their own.

Perhaps "why?" wasn't the right question...  I've been asking myself what happens if I get too big to ride -- like I said, I feel I'm at the limit of height and weight for a Ducati and have started dropping the weight.  I don't know what I'd do if I was 6'9" or 300 lbs.  I don't think I'd be on a Ducati and I don't enjoy riding Goldwings.

I appreciate your trying to read between the lines, but you're squinting too hard man.

No. No you can't. Despite some valiant back peddling on Tiz's part, this thread was never about how ergonomics affects the handling of a motorcycle. And its not now. It is simply picking on a fat guy. So stop it. This isn't 3rd grade. "fun and games" are not to be had by picking on the fat kid.

OK my first reaction was the guy is racing for Stay-Puft

I have this duality thing I am stuck with....the evil make the beast with two backsing Lenny Bruce voice that fires off the above statement

and a more kind, gentler voice that comes from having watched my own son struggle with being 6' 5" and overweight throughout his teen years...

and if I see a 300 lbs. woman bouncing and flopping along jogging in a metallic spandex outfit...I go right to the Teletubbies

make the beast with two backs me....

LOL!

If you are keeping score that is 1- LOL and 0- Discussing Moto Ergos. Not a lot of reading between the lines needed there.

Listen, you posted something douchey and now you are back peddling. Same as in the squirrel thread. That is all. If you wanted a serious discussion on how a rider's height and weight affects the rider's safety you would have posted up, "How does a rider's height and weight affect the rider's safety?"

Instead you posted up a picture of a fat guy, titled it "why?" and proceeded to "LOL" hen people poked fun at him. which was the point all along.

Ok, all kidding aside. You can't post a pic like that and not catch some flack these days, pitiful as that may be. In our PC society, any deviation from the norm that gets pointed out is grounds for a metaphorical lynching. Think of what the reaction would be if the guy in the pic wasn't black.

Could be. His knee sliders are fresh but he is running slicks. That's why I reserve my trash talk to people slower than myself.
