I saw this on another board, and I just had to share.

I know a guy who is bigger who rides a street bike. Tried to talk him into at least upgrade the springs and he didn't want to spend the money  ;D

That's what I feel like while trying to sniff a draft off that itty bitty bugger Ed Key. He should have to race in a sumo wrestling suit just to be fair to the rest of us, ahem, plus-size racers...

I have no business commenting on this but what the heck.

What's up with all the different numbers on the front of fairing.  Are those other riders that he ate? ;D

The arms look too small for the body.  Are you sure this isn't PhotoChopped?

I think those are part of the promo for the "guess the fat man's weight!" contest.  How many pounds is 56 stone, anyway?

i remember seeing a dude nearly that big at the SW CCS races around the time i started.   He was a big guy, and raced buells, which were extremely tricked out, all silver metal flake paint, etc.   his custom leathers were enourmous.  i don't recall him being very fast, but him and his dad were havin' fun.

face looks too small for the body too...

There used to be a couple REAL heavy fellows running CCS MW.  Hey, as long as they're having fun and not dangerous, I have no beef with them.

That makes me feel better about the pics I see of me on my TZ, I tend to make it look like a toy.  ;D

I've got an even better idea.  I need those leathers, then I could wrap myself in a bunch of layers of bubble wrap before putting them on!

I would advise against using bubble wrap as armor. The noise creating by falling off the bike and having all the bubbles popping at once would create a cosmic shift in the universe, causing you to be transported to another dimension where no one even knows what a two wheeled machine might be.

Please use only aprroved armor, for your own good.  ;) ;D

Not to mention my kids would throw a handful of marbles in front of you to hear the popcorn going off as you rolled!

AND marbles on the track would pi$$ off the corner workers and the other riders...

Just to give an example of this guy's size, most racers only have one number on their bike. Good for that guy, I know a lot of people that large that don't do anything.
