Should we wear cups?

Otter · July 23rd, 2011, 07:42 AM

Just wondering if we should where cups or at least a good athletic supporter/jock-strap while riding.

Otter · July 23rd, 2011, 07:44 AM

wear

sombo · July 23rd, 2011, 07:52 AM

Ummm, errrr, no.

SSR · July 23rd, 2011, 08:07 AM

'eh? What for?

Live2ride · July 23rd, 2011, 08:14 AM

I would...just in case you run into a bull.

.

This man obviously highsided off the track into a bull...what are the chances?

Holy great balls of fire!!!!!

Actually there was the one time that I stalled my bike at a stop light. That sent stars shooting in front of my eyes. Then there's that unexpected pot hole you didn't see. Those aren't much fun either.

EsrTek · July 23rd, 2011, 08:31 AM

lol @ pic...
to OP: I'm just thinking of the plastic cup touching the seat/tank and the vibrations that would cause.... keeps me from tryin it!
Proper knee grip/positiong will help you not slide forward, as for bumps/holes.. get your ass off seat if you can

Otter · July 23rd, 2011, 09:48 AM

Hehehe. It's not practical, and would be more painful than it's worth, so it was sort if a tongue-in-cheek post/question, but I thought people would have fun with it

Also T-I-C, but I wonder what the incidence of motorcycle related injuries is
It would be awful to leave yer, uh, "man-parts" hooked on a bar end a-la a bull horn I won't be gettin' any of those spikey bar ends (or any other bike-mounted spikes) any time soon(or doing any bull riding)

Otter · July 23rd, 2011, 09:50 AM

GENITAL injuries, that is

this is why you dont sit directly against the tank... maintain a 1-2 inch gap.

kaiserz · July 23rd, 2011, 11:48 AM

If you have em, why not?

HypnoKhaos · July 23rd, 2011, 11:55 AM

you mean you're supposed to take them off??

"I need more gap than that"--- this is my junk talking.

Otter · July 23rd, 2011, 03:13 PM

Hehe

(I some how accidentally sent a "report" instead of a "reply". So, whoever gets reports, please disregard. Thanks.)

TXJ · July 23rd, 2011, 06:31 PM

I only know of motocross riders who wear a nuttybuddy regularly. Street riding though, I don't really see a point. Since you're sitting all the time and not standing it would start to hurt quite a bit after a short time.

Cab305 · July 23rd, 2011, 07:39 PM

I already asked once, consensus was no.

Jiggles · July 23rd, 2011, 07:58 PM

I just ride around at 9k until they go numb and then I can't feel any pain

gfloyd2002 · July 23rd, 2011, 08:14 PM

I think it goes without saying that a guy named Jiggles doesn't wear a cup.

CC Cowboy · July 24th, 2011, 07:09 AM

This proves there are no stupid questions, just stupid people asking questions.

ninja250 · July 24th, 2011, 09:16 AM

Cup?
That would ruin the way I love up on my tank like a dog in heat

gfloyd2002 · July 24th, 2011, 10:50 AM

Is there a gas cap mod for that?

This thread actually stayed "clean" longer than I thought it would, with such an obvious topic...

Otter · July 24th, 2011, 03:16 PM

Hey cowboy, you're a jerk.
Do you go around insulting everyone who asks a question that YOU think is stupid? If so, I imagine you've got your hands full on this forum, because YOU are bound to find a LOT of the questions here "stupid". Thankfully, most people here seem to be VERY patient, understanding, and, above all, generous with their time. If you don't have the time for "stupid" people, just don't respond to their "stupid" questions. We stupid people will get by just fine without you.

Otter · July 24th, 2011, 03:20 PM

Oh yea, stay "fast and dangerous".

CC Cowboy · July 24th, 2011, 03:45 PM

Mr. Otter, I would say you probably need an "A" cup.

ninja250 · July 24th, 2011, 04:42 PM

LOL my first couple good wheelies on the six hundy had my nuts in a pinch when you come down hard.

adri99an · July 24th, 2011, 05:32 PM

CC where's his cup backwards then drinks out of it.

Otter-ignore CC he's got issues- his momma didn't hug him enough as a small child. Its not his fault-over time he will grow on you like a scab after a lowside.

CC is seeing a therapist these days so we know he's in treatment.

Alex · July 24th, 2011, 08:13 PM

Hands-down, CC is the one poster who consistently makes me chuckle on this board. If you imagine him typing with a smirk with one hand while holding a beer in the other hand, with a goal of nothing other than making you spit something at your screen, it starts to gel much better.

(it doesn't hurt that he's forgotten more about bikes & racing than most of the folks here will have a chance to learn)

Anyway, no, a cup is not a good idea.

Otter · July 24th, 2011, 08:32 PM

Honestly, as I said above, the question was tongue in cheek

I won't take it personally, but really, no one likes to be called stupid.

By the way, it's Dr. Otter

(but I'd prefer to be called just "Spence"

)

Truce, CC?

Hope so. I look forward to getting to know you

adri99an · July 24th, 2011, 08:39 PM

Jiggles · July 25th, 2011, 10:52 PM

I just ordered a new custom seat from Corbin with a special modification

Snake · July 25th, 2011, 10:58 PM

^^^ Now that looks comfortable. Very form fitting.

JoeLansing · July 26th, 2011, 04:29 PM

You guys are tooo funny! Good thread start Otter! Nice seat pic Jiggles! CC is fine most of the time. Arguing on a message forum is like running in the Special Olympics, even if you win you're still retarded. So don't bother.
