Default You Are All Hatin'

Guy gets poorly executed pin striping done on his S3, posts pics of it, then gets pissy when people say it looks like shit and point out that it looks like a twat.



Welcome to the Internet.

Man they were rough. But fo sho, if you are going to post a bike pic on the interwebz, be ready for some hatin. But yea, those stripes looked like shit. They were way too thick.

Colored seats comes to mind on this forum.

I actually know him from when I was still down in San Diego. He was on CF so he might be a member here, I forgot. I haven't read the thread yet, but I don't see the problem with the bike....... the stripes aren't very noticeable to anyone regardless if they like them or not.

I guess having a vagina on your tank is better than a tank on your vagina

Not crazy about the stripes but it seems like some guys got awfully bent out of shape about them.

you call that "hate" pfftt, that ain't nothing. heck, I sometimes prefer that type of post to the mutual salad tossing that usually goes on on forums. "Looks good!" gets old... I personally don't like pin stripping period so how it's done is irrelevant.

Yeah. I don't care for them myself but it doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks.

But, when you solicit opinions, you take the good with the bad.

Oh I wouldn't say that, exactly... As someone that routinely posts pics and then gets ragged on, I think that it's interesting what type of responses you can garner on a forum. It's a strange dichotomous situation actually... I honestly don't CARE what someone 1000 miles away thinks of my property but I am often interested in the opinions of my peers who have similar interests as myself.
