This isn't WTF, this is fucking awesome!

[–]ReigninLikeA_MoFo 31 points32 points ago

I'm with you. Grandma's lovin' it!

[–]Smachimo 24 points25 points ago

It's always nice to feel the wind in your bones.

[–]derpherpatitis 11 points12 points ago

The grandma is going around town looking for what you young-ins call "bitches".

[–]Spamallthethings -1 points0 points ago

Perfect.

[–]quad_copter_cat 2 points3 points ago

L-R that's Grandpa, Mom and Great-Grandma. It looks like they are in a parking lot and probably going 5 MPH. GG probably had always wanted to ride a motorcycle. Proper ladies didn't always do those sorts of things you know.

[–]Eat_sleep_poop 0 points1 point ago

Exactly. Slow shutter speed = illusion of going fast. You don't think the corvette on the cover of road and track is actually going 120, right?

[–]bitza 36 points37 points ago

No helmets, strapped on wheelchair, no protective clothing/equipment. I'm gonna go with WTF.

[–]Bipolarruledout 3 points4 points ago

I know, she's just sooo young right... and has so much to live for.

[–]amtracdriver 3 points4 points ago

Let's be honest here, if she somehow comes loose and braves the highway she's not going to need any protective clothing or gear. She will die and the funeral will be slightly awkward.

[–]JUST_LOGGED_IN 0 points1 point ago

If no one else in that state has to have a helmet or protective clothes, why should she? I can see how this person might get some kind of ticket for this, but really, if gramma wants to do this, do what gramma says.

[–]flyonawall 1 point2 points ago

I have to agree, if Grandma really wanted to do this, grandma should get what she wants, looks like she hasn't got much time left so it is past time to complete that bucket list.

[–]flyonawall -3 points-2 points ago

Umm is that his new girlfriend, with the xwife riding in her wheelchair?

[–]bastard_thought 15 points16 points ago

She's holding the button which releases the trailer hitch.

[–]MadMageMC 24 points25 points ago

So... she's the "Hitch Switch Bitch"?

[–]CuntLover69 6 points7 points ago

Hopefully that's also his wife. He just needs to get another, even younger one, and he'll have a full set.

[–]Smachimo 2 points3 points ago

If they could figure out how to fit inside of each other, it'd be like having matryoshka dolls.

[–]ChickaloonCharlie 23 points24 points ago

[–]argininosuccinase 102 points103 points ago

[–]mutilatedrabbit 0 points1 point ago

I call them glimpses of political sanity.

[–]bagboyrebel 20 points21 points ago

It's not really a matter of legality and more a mater of not dying.

[–]FireReadyAim 7 points8 points ago

Which is their decision to make.

[–]iforgotmyusername12 7 points8 points ago

While on one side I wholeheartedly agree with you I also have seen the consequence of not wearing a helmet. And while it is their life, it is society who will have to pick up the hospital bill. I am well aware that people get hurt in cars but you are much more likely to get hurt on a motorcycle especially if you don't wear a helmet.

[–]FireReadyAim 6 points7 points ago

In my state to legally ride without a helmet you have to carry additional insurance.

[–]iforgotmyusername12 1 point2 points ago

I think that is a fine compromise. Though I doubt the additional insurance can cover the costs. I have seen some really bad motorcycle wreck victims, and they were wearing their helmets.

[–]FireReadyAim 1 point2 points ago

If anything, dying costs less.

[–]iforgotmyusername12 0 points1 point ago

Sadly it does if you die instantly, now if you make it to the hospital and they work on you some that is a different story. But at the same time you just lost a productive member of society.

[–]mutilatedrabbit 0 points1 point ago

society? ok, good point. so let's get rid of socialized medicine.

[–]iforgotmyusername12 0 points1 point ago

If you get rid of socialized medicine you also should get rid of public education for kids because this guy was probably taught in a public school and he has just wasted the investment both his parents and society made for him.

[–]bagboyrebel 2 points3 points ago

...ok? I don't see what that has to do with anything, he was just pointing out how stupid it is.

[–]feelmyperi 2 points3 points ago

If a collision were to occur, and they were to die, it's not their own lives they would be affecting.

[–]FireReadyAim -3 points-2 points ago

So the fuck what? You can't outlaw being selfish, and it's foolish to try.

[–]feelmyperi 1 point2 points ago

Hey man, if you have a death wish, that's fine. Just don't make someone else kill you.

[–]FireReadyAim 2 points3 points ago

If some idiot hits me because he doesn't know how to use mirrors but is legally allowed to operate a 5000 pound device that hurdles down the road at insane speeds, I haven't made him do anything.

[–]feelmyperi 2 points3 points ago

It won't necessarily be his fault...sometimes accidents just happen. It might even you who makes a mistake. I would hope that, when accidents do occur, all parties were taking care to prevent premature death. It would save so much needless grief.

[–]FireReadyAim -1 points0 points ago

I'd be interested to see some examples of automotive collisions where nobody is to blame. Many of the rules of the road are designed specifically to avoid things like that.

[–]jamescagney 1 point2 points ago

But fat people should be punished for their health issues supposedly costing money for society?

[–]FireReadyAim -3 points-2 points ago

I'll give you a billion dollars if you will quote where I said that you useless fuck.

Edit: or quote where I implied it. Or suggested it. Or alluded to anything related to fat people.

[–]jamescagney 1 point2 points ago

"Useless fuck?" Real nice. Why so angry? Do you kiss your mother with that filthy mouth?

You didn't say anything about fat people, and I didn't say you did. I'm merely saying it's hypocritical of of our society in general (NOT you specifically) IF they defend their own freedom to do dangerous things like not use helmets or seat belts, etc. while simultaneously: 1) hating on fat people for supposedly costing us money in higher health insurance rates (typically a left wing tendency), or 2) argue against a person's right to assisted suicide or abortion (typically a right wing tendency)

I just see many people claiming to be for more personal freedom and less intrusive government, but then only supporting the freedoms that affect them, while actively working to take away the freedoms that affect others, on the basis of taxes or religion.

Like it or not, our government does have some sort of role as a nanny for our protection and benefit. That's the entire reason for many government departments, laws and initiatives from both right-wing and left-wing initiatives. Even Bush-era policies like SOL testing in schools, the wars In the middle east, the entire DOD, DHS, TSA, DOJ, FBI, CIA, DOS, FDA, HHS, SEC, police, etc. etc. We're just quibbling about what exactly that nanny role is, and whether we're going to pay the taxes needed to do those things.

[–]WeaponsHot -1 points0 points ago

I think it's fine for them to make their own decision on the matter. But how cruel and selfish must you be to leave a grieving family behind, or leave them to take care of your vegetable body for the rest of it's life because you were too cool for a helmet or just wanted to be another cookie-cutter rebel? Pshh. Selfish.

[–]Bipolarruledout -1 points0 points ago

Selfish!?!? I thought this was AMERICA!

[–]Pmall3535 2 points3 points ago

In the state of Florida you are required to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle under the age of 16. Then you are allowed to get your license and ride a motorcycle without a helmet. Strange to me.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

yeah but none of them have helmets, including grandma!

[–]BonzoTheBoss 0 points1 point ago

Has Lawrence of Arabia taught these people nothing?!

[–]growthrings 0 points1 point ago

Scumbag protection laws: you have to wear a seatbelt in a car you do not have to wear a helmet whilst motorcycling

[–]ChickaloonCharlie 1 point2 points ago

If you run over a motorcyclist in a car, their helmet can bust your windshield. Your seat belt does nothing to the motorcycle rider. It makes perfect sense!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Yepper... Payment doesn't hurt as bad as a windshield.... LOL

U mad, bro?

[–]bejayel 3 points4 points ago

I imagine they would be wearing a salad bowl for a lid anyway. Might as well not be wearing one if that's what you're going to wear.

I think around 75% of the deaths last year here were on Harleys. That means probably 70% were due to a helmet without proper protection.

[–]jeebus_krist 2 points3 points ago

Well, you have to admit, those "salad-bowl" helmets just look cooler. Besides, as an added feature, when they are done scraping a face and brain off of the pavement, those helmets make excellent containers for transport to the morgue.

[–]skillasaurus707 0 points1 point ago

I didn't know if you were riding a harley u were going for protection.

[–]birdmankustomz -2 points-1 points ago

What?? Are you trying to say open face beanies aren't safe!? Thats crazy talk, they are just as safe as full face because you can see better!

/sarcasm.

[–]DrKisses -1 points0 points ago

I am pretty positive that the easiest way to avoid dying on a motorcycle is not riding a motorcycle- there is no safe way.

Safer than "Balls-stupidly Dangerous" is still stupid.

[–]sperglord_manchild 0 points1 point ago

Life is not safe

[–]bejayel 0 points1 point ago

If you ride safely and smart, the chances you will be in a fatal or serious accident are extremely slim.

Most of our deaths are attributed to alcohol, lack of protection, and excessive speed (or some combination). There is an alarming number of riders who drink and ride. I am sure it goes without saying to most, but that is retarded.

[–]JimmyChitwood 0 points1 point ago

I m pretty sure this is the least safe thing I ve ever seen. Upvote! Upvote! Upvote!

[–]itouchboobs 0 points1 point ago

I hardly ever wear a helmet while riding a bike. The only time I put on any gear is when I'm going out to stunt, or speed.

True. Google thinks they're German.

[–]crashequipment 1 point2 points ago

Unlikely. Motorcycle drivers are required by law to wear a helmet in Germany since the 70s. I don't think I've ever seen someone violate that.

[–]BCBUDDHA 10 points11 points ago

you've never seen anybody tow an old lady like that either so you might want to revisit your whole theory.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That's not an EU license plate on the trailer. It is a US size plate.

[–]BCBUDDHA 1 point2 points ago

they make USA sized plates in germany for american vehicles with indents that won't fit a european one.

http://www.kaiserslauternamerican.com/artman2/uploads/1/170306-1b.jpg

Somehow one of these plates ended up on the trailer.... The mystery of the german grandma on the trailer deepens!!!

[–]Bitter_Idealist 0 points1 point ago

How are you even able to see any plates on that trailer?
