Who Rides Here and Do you Wear Your Rolie When You Roll?

I do on my cruiser bikes but when I am at the track I don't wear it crashed three times and I am sure I would have hurt the watch. Made a mistake one time wearing a bracelet that cut up my wrist when I had a lowside around 60mph.

Anyway so do you ride? IF yes, what and do you wear your rollie when you roll.?

I ride kawi ZX-7R, 2000 model. I wear my Omega, Rolex, Bretiling watches when I ride.

However when I'm on the track, I would wear my rubber strapped Seiko.

I wear my Rolex Sub Date when I am riding, and I have these two Danish made "Biomega" bicycles with a cardanic shaft (NO chain!)

Hey Bo,

Very interesting design... how does it change gears?

Well, for the short time that I had my Rolex and my bikes, I did ride wearing my GMT. However...now all three bikes are gone, so I guess I'll be back on my Specialized Rock-Hopper. Due to the fact that I'm not a great on something that's manually propelled, I'll probaby have my Tissot on when on that death trap.

Just the normal way. The green model is called "Amsterdam" and has 7 gears (Sram).

And the cream (yellow, and lights in the dark btw, like Superluminova! ) is called "CPH" (Copenhagen), has 3 gears (Shimano) and pedals that can be clicked off when leaving the bike.

See more on www.biomega.dk

Been a long time but back in the day I had:

160 Ducati
175 Honda
350 Honda
450 Honda
550 Honda
750 Honda
and for variety
125 Yamaha YZ
400 CZ

The 450 went over to England and Spain with me for 6 weeks. The 750 went all over Europe 3 years later, then got a 904 kit when I got home.

Sounds like the perfect setup for a funny comment but I can't quite think of one now!

I wear my Wht.Exp.II when riding my 07 StreetGlide or 02 Fatboy.
Actually I wear it all the time except to sleep or in the shower.

I ride this:





I used to wear a Harley pocket watch on a chain, but may start wearing my Black Monster on the bike. I'm not certain the Gold & Steel of the Rollies would be completely right where I usually wind up... "Boot Hill Saloon", "The Cheyenne Saloon", "Iron Horse Saloon", etc. You get the picture...
