Title: The experiment is over..
Post by Serowbot on 02/27/12 at 11:23:59

I put this smiley face on the back of my helmet,.. thinking people might see me as friendly and personable... and be more polite on the road...
Not so...
I have noticed a definite increase in tailgating and rudeness... (even had a guy flip me off)...

Smiley comes off, today... No more Mr. Niceguy...
Rough, black leather instills fear... FU-GATT is my uniform of choice...
Nice guys finish last... sad to say...

Sorry to hear that.

People in cars rarely act like legitimate human beings it seems.

I wonder if you made an angry face would people back off more?

I would never have guessed there would be any negatives to putting that on your helmet. I guess I need to come to grips with the idea that the world is populated by the same people we went to school with,,& a good bunch of them were A-Holes then, too.

Yeah. And in Arizona, chances are they're carrying, since anyone can and many do.

Id bet ( not my life, so, I wouldnt get ugly) that the folks who carry, are for the most part, the nice guys. EXCEPT for the criminal element,

Judging by the nightly news out of Phoenix, not so much!

Bot, keep the smiley face on. I bet the majority of folks get a kick out of it, it's great. The idjuts who scowl are just miserable SOB's to begin with. Keep spreading the good cheer, we need more of it nowadays. I'm gonna put a reflective smiley on my black helmet.

Cheers,

JohnnyCat

Yea Justin

Id bet ( not my life, so, I wouldnt get ugly) that the folks who carry, are for the most part, the nice guys. EXCEPT for the criminal element,

I've carried for 15 years now . Not in goverment building , but everwhere else.
Makes it easier to help anybody anytime knowing fowl-play woin't happen.
Just think how "Polite" the world would be if everybody carried and everybody knew it ! 8-)

I might have to "Modifiy" the back of my helmet,

Happy faces for eyes and nose , and Friendly saying for mouth ?

The ba-humb-bug bunch will reep their own rewards in the end !

Ride wheelies with that helmet on and you'll get a better response

Put a Jack in the Box hat on top.

switch it from a Smiley Face to a middle finger and you will get a much better response :)

Bot, sorry to hear your attempt at being
cute and friendly didn't work. I personally
thought it was cute and funny.
Those that tail gated you would possibly
have no matter if you had the smiley or
any other signa on your helmet. Their
plain jerks to put it nicely.
If you actually do replace it with something
else, please post a pic.. Hugs.. :) kim
