Guys who ride step through bikes...

[ramrezz425]

Many people are slightly Insulted by the nomenclature on the side of my top case bag, sometimes I don't think these Chinese manufacturers know what might be insulting in other societies. I found a car badge made of thin aluminum with stars and stripes on it and I used some vehicle emblem glue to apply it to the Bag to cover up that "unusual" word.

Secondly, as part of my overkill of bling on my step through bike, I've added some red valve cover caps, and red accented hand grips. I'm trying to make this bike look more masculine as a few people said "hey nice bike does it come in a men's style?"

I make my step-through look more masculine by riding it. Never have had that comment; but my wife would kick the crap out of anyone that said it.

... and I was under the impression that step thru's were for guys with tripod syndrome
Funny thing is not only am I afflicted with the syndrome, I've got a JXFUKAL bag too. The soft insulated one.

Yep, Chinese products can come with some pretty unfortunate names. Once ordered some RC boat props direct from China. The return address was "Fuming Industrial Park". At least they're honest about it.

And Japanese products with some pretty unfortunate English translations. Wife once bought a fancy Japanese chef's knife with instructions advising us to "keep out of children". Good to know!

I'm sure they get a laugh out of some of our stuff, too.

I bought a Honda 55 cc motorcycle shortly after they started to come to the USA. The manual that came with it was really a hoot to try and read.

To be fair, it isn't just imports. A California wine:

As opposed to, say, house cleaning products?

Oh yeah, forgot about that option!

All wine pairs with any other wine when you're not eating and just wanna get drunk while saving a few bucks.

Just mix and match for the color you prefer.

We call it swamp water when we just get the cup at the restaurant to fill up with whatever softdrink we want.

I mix in a bit of everything usually about 6 colors and flavors.

I like to develop my own palate without other people's opinions affecting my choices.

When the white tires went flat on my step through bodaboda, I replaced them with black. The 19"x19"x10" panniers are too big for a woman. I use pool noodles for hand grips, the bright green ones. As I rode through a school yard, a 3rd grader on the playground shouted "Nice bike". The only other comment in 6 years is "is that electric?" a couple of times. I wear a ANSI class II reflective yellow green vest, the kind usually seen on highway construction workers. Some of those are women. I hope my bike reminds drivers of a big yellow digger machine crossing the road, so they will be careful.

My first ebike is a step through but it looks so ridiculous with the windshield and backwards handlebars that no one notices that it's a girl,..

My new e-bike is a boy-bike but it also looks ridiculous, so no one notices that it's a boy,..

I have to stand on my toes to clear the battery when I stand over the e-bike.

I've slipped off the seat a couple times and landed on my jewels.
Not hard enough to send me into the fetal position but that may happen yet?


I wonder why girls get the boy bike frame and boys get the girl bike frame?

Sure a girl is gonna get hurt if she gets kicked in the crotch, but it's nothing like a kick in the jewels for a guy.

Women like to say that men have no idea how much it hurts to give birth.
I think that we have a pretty good idea what intense pain feels like?

Don't ever pair any wine with Southern Comfort!
And don't ask me how I know.

I don't need to do anything to make my Roadrunner (Specialized Turbo Vado 6.0) look masculine

Wine is fine, but whiskey's quicker.

We used to have a Chinese restaurant in town called the Fu King Kitchen.

It caused quite a stir and the name was changed to the Peking Garden.

I had that album in 1980-81
I think it has Crazy Train on the album as well?

There was a local guy that was hit and killed by a train back then.
The joke was that he was listening to Crazy Train when he was hit.

Did they serve Cream Of YungMen Kum soup?

I had a freind that had an actual bottle of Cock Sauce with a picture of a Rooster on the label.
Seriously.
He had to buy the sauce just for a laugh.

EDIT: I think I found it,..

Cock Sauce is the brand.
I'm pretty sure that I remember seeing a though?

Fish suace is funnier though.
What smells like fish and tastes like chicken?

It does... Big hit as I was in high school at the time.


Same era as my Southern Comfort episode

I remember doing a project for a guy at school in grade 10 or 11.
He paid me with 6 beers that he hid under the big pine tree in my front yard so my parents wouldn't find it.

I drank all 6 in an hour or two then spent the whole night barfing.

The next day I went to a shopping mall with my brother-in-law but I just waited in the car when he went in because I felt like crap.

While I was waiting, I found a beer cap in my pocket and stupidly decided to sniff the bottle cap.
That was all it took, and I opened the door to barf again in mall parking lot.
