4stroke, Oct 2 2006, 10:59 PM I'm new to VFRD, and VFR ownership, but it seems to me there should be some sort of unwritten code of not wearing yellow pants on a VFR biggrin.gif

How dare you wear yellow pants?
P.S. Oh yeah, and shame one you for crossing the double yellows. tongue.gif
Darned rain suit only comes in funky colors. dry.gif
Looks like those cheap yellow K Mart rain suit pants. biggrin.gif Worn those, and the matching jacket with hood too. Can you say wet crotch cuz it ripped easy? goofy.gif But I ain't been to the Gap. Maybe one day. fing02.gif
Well, yellow got well represented in this thread--bright--hard on the eyes......a little Visine and on to the other threads...no missing the "yellow people" on the road either(SAFE COLOR).........
Dutchy, Oct 3 2006, 05:21 AM also, why is he (s)he hugging the centre line?
That was one observation I made while riding motorcycle in the US, that a lot of folks hug the centre line way before you see the corner opening up.
Is this how it is taught?
As for the color, same as with the guy who mounts a red wheel on a yellow bike. Add something green and the colourscheme becomes Rasta Man.....
This is not taught, it is frowned upon, but people are scared of the outside of the lane and want to hug the inside on left turns. I used to do it, took a while to break myself of it, had to start thinking about the line I wanted to take, and not the just the corner I wanted to take.

just a bad habit. I do it sometimes if I am leary of debris or gravel on the outside line. But mostly it's just bad habit. I think in the MSF classes they actually teach staying outside until you have clear sight through the exit.
That rider's too large and ugly, and those pants aren't the right straw color, so it's definitely not our "Riot Grrrl!".........no roo bars on the VFR too!
