Ok, now just cause Squirrel don't appeal to you don't dismiss the headwear! He ain't pretty to me either, although he always has plenty of ladies I'd attribute that to his masterful fixie riding, since folks say it make you a better lover and all.

I'd go with a different snapon than the sawtooth, they're interchangable, the desighs on the hairnet. Actually I'd go with a star or skull snap, but no leather, jus the snapcap

Spread the word!!! DO NOT BUY FROM MOMOVELO!! I ordered a folding bike from them February 2nd, 2004. My confirmation said it would be shipped within 24 hours but it never arrived. I contacted him after a couple weeks and said he would be in in a month so I opted to wait. The production of the bike (Dahon) has continuously been put back to where they are now forecasting January 15th, 2005. I don't blame Momovelo for the production of the bike but they have refused to respond to numerous e-mails about refunding my money or changing the order to something in stock. They don't have a valid phone number and have a history of horrible customer service!!

That is the single funniest yet true thing I've ever heard.

I nearly got hit by one of the civilian MP's on NASNI one morning. When I flagged him over (aka got in front of him and stopped), and told him I wanted his badge number and phone number to his supervisor, the SOB wrote me a citation.. for riding in traffic in an unsafe manner and threatened to take my bike. After about a 30 minute verbal scuffle, (I'm assuming the watch sup) came along and made a deal, no ticket for me, and no call to his sup for him. That was about 3 years ago now.

I try to be nice to the local base police here, as they do protect me and others from terrorist and thieves. A few months ago they shot and killed some guys stealing a motorcycle from the no decal lot. (There's a lot to the story...) So, I want to respect that they do look out for us and protect us. But being a sleep at the wheel in the Dodge Dingo and nearly running me into a curb kind of puts that all on edge.

I'd just as soon you get a real helmet than not, but it's your choice really.

overseas mp's have a totally different attitude. they wear the same uniform as i do, but that's where it ends. overseas stationed soldiers are a troublesome lot, there tends to be alot more alcohol related incidents, so the mp's job is to literally police us up. they see us as the enemy, in just the same way blue-uniform cops see civilians as the enemy. they are out to get you. they are watching you. they want you off the street. they strive for control. they are closeted sexual deviants. they were picked on in high school. they have something to prove. they feel like more of a man if they carry a big black stick.
oh, to stay on the subject of the thread... helmet helmet helmet and so on.

I was stationed in Keflavik, and the only thing I noticed there was a large amount of BUDS drops that were sent to be 9545 to "keep them sharp", so you had a bunch of wanta bes that couldn't be patroling often. But we had Icelandic police on base as well, and they were pretty decent. (Over all, as a country, Iceland was pretty ideal government wise, and was beautiful. ) But it was a mix as in anything of good and bad. I can admit that I have not always law abiding nor do I always behaved in a cooperative manner. So, I could have brought a lot of situaitons on my self.

However, with Mr. MP in the Dingo, he clearly needed to be beaten about the head and face with a closed fist. I just didn't have the grapes to do it. Or my common sense kicked in for once in my life. Either way.

all said, i would rather deal with the wiMPs than the german polizei. they still take care of business the old-fasioned way- bare knuckled, or with asps, blackjacks, and saps. schutzenstaffel is alive and well, and publicly accepted!
