Does my bike sit outside my office all day and think about me? I know I sit here and look at my jacket and helmet all day, wishing I could be out on the road.

I assume everyone else feels the same way. Yes?

The machine...is at an advantage.

It goes dormant.

That enables it to exist through neglect and abandonment and even abuse...and once put right, in the hands of a concerned rider...it COMES ALIVE.

When cold and in the dark, it feels nothing. That is to its benefit.

Me too, I often wonder this as well. At least your gear is on a nice stand. I just throw mine behind my chair.

Repurposed mannequin with a knife stuck in the top to hold the helmet. Haha

Just means it takes me that much longer to take my jacket off that dummy and put it on this dummy before I leave. But it does look cool! That's all that really matters. Hahaha

Mental note, don't mess with WhiskeyUSMC1979 in his office.

Especially if you're a mannequin.

The contrast is very telling. As I write this, my helmet sits in the corner of my office on a 3" binder filled with reports, on a stack of bankers boxes filled with more binders containing yet more reports. Whiskey's helmet sits on a knife, impaled into the neck of a headless mannequin.

Mental note, don't mess with metallyguitarded if you fear paper cuts. Don't mess with WhiskeyUSMC1979 if you fear dismemberment and losing your head.

Your helmet better be SNELL certified, those paper cuts can be brutal!!

Well I guess I need spell check...
