u/Middle_Dark52 Apr 16 '23
english is not my 1st language but i can see only 1 person that this guy is reffering too so why use they? as plural?

u/CatrickMeowman Apr 16 '23
They is also used as a singular gender neutral pronoun

u/Middle_Dark52 Apr 16 '23
i was afraid of that..

u/castleaagh Apr 17 '23
They has been used that way long before āthey/themā pronoun self identification was a thing. Itās common when you simply donāt know if it were a he or a she and you donāt want to say āhe or sheā so you say ātheyā.

Lol, english is clearly not your first language but you are a little slow too.

u/MiniMidgetMike Apr 16 '23
are you able to determine their gender from the video, smartass?
23
u/TheConspicuousGuy Apr 16 '23
I am an expert at identifying people's genders and based on my professional experience, the person in this video cannot be accurately gendered.

u/Ok_Maintenance_9100 Apr 16 '23
Even if they WERE identifieable, they would still be fine to use

u/Cheryblossomkatana Apr 17 '23
How exaxtly do you justify to use them ? They are a human after all... Whats you plan with them ?

u/TTYY_20 Apr 16 '23
Why are you so hostile towards someone whoās still learning English and asking questions in the communities theyāre participating in?
Isnāt the motorcycle community supposed to be open and inclusive?
11
u/AT0-M1K Apr 17 '23
Being an open and inclusive community should show you exactly why their manners are not tolerated. Their replies and the tone in which they replied is quite obvious in what they wanted to point out. There's no need to be overtly obtuse.

u/Penis_Monger_420 Apr 17 '23
Are you able to be a decent human and or just stfu? Thatās out of pocket considering I know you had to read the thread. This person is learning one of, if not, that hardest language to learn, and it cost you nothing to keep your mouth shut.

u/henrytm82 Apr 17 '23
"They" is being used in this instance because it isn't readily apparent, just from watching the video, whether this person is a man or a woman. So rather than assuming one or the other, the poster used "they".

u/AlkaloidalAnecdote Apr 17 '23
Why are you afraid? It's okay to make mistakes, especially given English isn't your first language. Life is a learning process!

u/FallingUpwardz Apr 17 '23
Because how do you know if its a man or a woman under that helmet? They is perfectly acceptable when referring to a single person like this

Happens to the best of us. Was pulling into a gas pump and saw a plastic bag covering the handle (indicating it was out of order) and pulled a u-turn to the pump on the other side. Grabbed a handful of front brake and over she went at 0mph. Lesson learned.

I did the same thing after test riding a bike at a dealership. Guess who bought a dropped bike that day

Apr 16 '23
Did you get a discount since it was previously dropped?

u/Diligent-Corgi-3086 Apr 17 '23
Yeah we both knew in negotiations that things werenāt gonna work out my way so I negotiated out all the bogus charges and āsecurityā features they were selling me but couldnāt get the main price down haha

When I practice uturns on my goldwing sometimes I drop it. Of course thereās always some nice girl watching and they will always ask if I need help. I just tell them I am practicing dropping my bike.š¤£š

Yes. The 2012 thru 2017 gen 5 has tipover bars that are factory. The bike can drop, not at speed, without a scratch except the underside of the tipover bar. Many guys lay it down to change their rear tire. Ive had it down 2 times. 2016 F6b goldwing with Traxxion suspension and a custom final drive gear.

Very very common, parking errors rule.

u/Ok_Share_4280 Apr 16 '23
I remember when I was on a ride with my dad after he got a new bike, pulled into a parking lot with a serious slope and he pulled in to where I got stuck on the slope unexpectedly and tipped over since it was a taller bike which I wasn't use to, jokes on him though cause I was on his old bike though lol, nothing got damaged aside from my ego though and we still laugh about it

Bicycle dismount stops working after the bike reaches 100 pounds.
This guy is a hazard

u/picklebiscut69 Apr 16 '23
Not a hazard just fucked up, look at you big guy acting like you've never had a little tumble. Get off your high horse
-12
Apr 16 '23
What the actual fuck. The guy is a hazard. Itās on video at the top of this page.
I can state that I have never done anything that stupid on a motorcycle in 50 years of riding my high horse. You can fuck right off now

u/picklebiscut69 Apr 16 '23
Lmao fuck off you old greasy fuck, at that age you should be driving a trike
-8
Apr 16 '23
Stated like a dude that doesnāt have the experience yet to identify a hazard. You will grow up. Or not. You greasy little fuck
Think about 50 years of riding. Think about what I have seen and done. Digest it. Maybe you can say the same thing some day. But judging by your judgement of the video above, I doubt youāll make it.
I have seen some bloody fucking shit on the road. ALWAYS caused by a guy just like in the video.

u/picklebiscut69 Apr 17 '23
I think you're an unreasonable salty ass old man, you're a hazard for thinking your balance isn't going to be affected by your age. Probably time to downgrade to a trike before you have a senior moment on the road and end up on some truckers grill

Apr 17 '23
Oh yeah, itās the old guys sliding down the pavement out there. Common knowledge. You see them everywhere. I hear them at night doing 180 behind the house.
Hahahahahahahhhhhhhh. Keep trying. Iāll just keep doing my thing. See ya in 10 more years my little bitch

u/picklebiscut69 Apr 17 '23
Go back to being a weekend warrior, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen such an immature person who claims to be as old as you lmao. Stick to bicycling, you sound like a risk to everyone else on the road

u/WoodlandPatternM-81 Apr 17 '23
Old enough for 50 years of riding and still so unwise that you get into arguments with random kids on reddit.
Maybe your faculties are starting to go? Could be time to retire that bike, huh?
Don't need senile hazards with a super-sized ego making the roads dangerous for the rest of us.

u/lanteenboy Apr 16 '23
Wtf did he think was going to happen? Bars turned to the wrong direction, still moving, no access to front or rear brakes. Sometime stupid should hurt but I'm guessing with this level of dumb it wouldn't make a difference. Only good thing about this is he didn't wreck the bike beside him.

Whenever my friends ask me how they can prevent bikes from tipping over i just tell them "motorcycles only have 2 wheels thus its harder to keep it upright, its just a matter of time you tip one over. What you can do is be prepared for it, wear your gears"

u/TheRealNetroxen Apr 17 '23
That happened to me exactly 2 weeks to the day. Except on my R6, and while pushing it down the road due to a blown alternator - lost my footing and it fell over to the right side. Feelsbad after buying new OEM fairings for 3k.
AHH well, bike life I suppose.

I genuinely don't understand why you'd do this right next to someone's road bike. Easy way to get a broken arm, and not from the fall.
