[BAH]

Coming back from a recent wedding I chanced upon these folks in Seattle.
Expected nerdy looking dudes, but when I came alongside both guys were very athletic looking and looked like they meant business and the girl was very pretty
I was going to take their photo from the front, but I was afraid my lens sticking out the window might be shortened a few inches with one well placed samuarai chop.

 

[The Toninator]

you wana be careful around them because they flipout and kill at will.

 

[loco-gringo]

That is their brake. If the chain fails they slice a tire.

 

[LOOnatic]

And people thought the whole Ninja "thing" was a joke.

 

[dhbuilder]

O.M.G.

how cool is that photo ?

take back the streets !!!

 

[stosh]

WTF, no camelbak?

 

[sanjuro]

My advice: never carry a weapon which is useless...

 

[Jeremy R]

Ciaran is somewhere unzipping his pants.

There's a mexican guy around here that rides around with a 20" machete duct-taped to his top tube. I asked him why and he told me he's been robbed a few times and he wanted some protection. I for one would stay well away from a mexican guy on a bike waving around a 20" machete.

 

[peter6061]

They probably just slice off an appendage and drink the blood when thirsty.

 

[golgiaparatus]

This is being the only way they could think to doing the stoping of the Jan from reaping their souls. If the Jan wasnt busy with the UCI he would be doing the shattering of their swords with one flex of his mighty thigh.

Where...on the W&OD near Shirlington? Did he at least have the good sense to duct tape it to the bottom of the top tube edged side down?

Right here in uppity uppity Annapolis actually. I also should say he duct-taped the sheath to the top tube so the blade was covered. Give the dude some credit...

 

[MMcG]

Bike Ninjas! Nice pic!

 

[eaterofdog]

woof woof... yip yip yip

I assume very little stupidity lies beyond reach, these days. Wakizushi worn while riding seemed a sufficient enough prologue.

Still hasn't gotten old. I'd approve if I could.

 

[DRB]

Bike Robots would so kick their a$$es.

 

[hooples3]

what if they ran into chuck norris and he was riding a bike?

Anytime odds are more than 3 to 1 in the favor of Ninja's, scripting dictates that Norris must be brought to his knees and "Humiliated" by the leader. At some point around 24 seconds to allow tense background track music to escalate to an alarming shrill pitch, scripting dictates Chuck Norris will slice the faceless Ninja with his own sword, kick the leader in the gut with a spinning roundhouse from his black stretch Levi's, leaving a bloody cut at the corner of his mouth.

At this point, scripting demands Chuck de-mask Ninja biker #3 to reveal a 23 year old American girl who's makeup is unsmudged from the sweaty bike ride and de-masking.

At this point, Chuck pauses...only to receive a gut wound from her Psi. Ninja #2 pees himself...shrieks and runs. Lead Ninja biker disappears in a puff of ninja smoke....

End Scene.....

Ironically, the photo was taken on "Talk Like a Pirate Day".

Pirates > Ninjas ... just cuz.

 

[BuddhaRoadkill]

I want to know what's in the bag.

 

[urbaindk]

I want to know what's in the bag.

The severed heads of their enemies.

They should have been carrying cutlasses.

 

[MudGrrl]

yes, Westy, they do have cute asses.

 

[DHS]

i'd love to see one of them chase after me with thier swords in those shoes

 

[Westy]

yes, Westy, they do have cute asses.

I must admit I was checking out the cute lass

 

[ElTORO]

In all seriousness what's up with this picture?? Do they just let people run around with Swords on their back in Seattle?? I know in some states a blade bigger then you palm is a Felony charge and is worse then caring a loaded gun.

But all in all it's a sick pic.

 

[sanjuro]

Weapons are worthless in the wrong hands. Anyone who wears a sword on a belt is about as scary as little boy swinging a plastic toy.

The people who scare me are the ones who don't display what they are carrying, until it is too late to do anything...

 

[wood-dog]

oh how I miss the diverse groups of people in Seattle

If you ride your bike in the city of Seattle, you better be armed. Otherwise you risk having the **** beat out of you by a couple of fat, out of jurisdiction sheriffs.

 

[Nobody]

I know a couple of bike messengers around town who carry these in a sort of quick-draw clip on their messenger bags...

Yah those are illegal in CA to. Pretty much everything here that's fun is. My Dad was a Cop for 22 years and used to carry one of those. When he retired I tried to get his flip-out knight stick and the Dept. said NO.

Sticks are illegal in California? Are hardware stores allowed to sell 2X4's longer than 4"?

I'm with

 

[bjanga]

And not even think twice about it?

like a flasher.

 

[Skookum]

Hmm interesting it appears as if there are many weapon toting morons in the PNW....
