What’s the point of having a motorcycle if you can’t take awesome pictures on it to make yourself look cool on the Internet? Learning to pose next to your motorcycle is as important as throttle control or learning to brake properly (not really.) Either way, this makes for better Friday reading than that spreadsheet you are trying to finish by EOD.
The Do’s
If you’re one of the best at riding a motorcycle, in any capacity, feel free to pose next to your bike however you please. The smug grin is completely appropriate.
The “band boy photo” actually looks pretty cool when dressed in full gear. Maybe it’s that it makes you look even more super hero-ish, or maybe it’s just a nice take on a picture usually found in our daughter's/sister's/niece's bedroom; either way we’re a fan.
The f-stop settings, as far as I’m concerned, were created to make photos of you in front of your motorcycle look awesome. Whether it’s you or the bike in the background, you’re guaranteed to look cooler if one of you is slightly out of focus. Being a babe doesn’t hurt either.
Taking a picture standing next to your motorcycle is the definition of trying to look cool or show off. Avoid looking like you’re trying too hard by wearing a stupid outfit. Your friends will enjoy seeing this in their social media feed.
If you have a complete dose of badass it doesn’t matter if the photo itself isn’t actually any good. If you’re a man in a world of boys, post motorcycle selfies at will.
Ask for help from a professional. The cell shots your wife took before you set out for Sturgis look terrible. If you have a buddy who’s good with a camera and editing software and you want some nice pictures of you and your bike, it’s worth a six-pack or lunch.
Pose on or next to your seat. It’s probably the least cool looking part of your bike and allows for best views of both the bike and your bad self. Again, being a babe doesn’t hurt.
Posing next to a completely loaded-down bike, after completing a massive trip, is the best way to pose next to your motorcycle. Only one or two of your friends will understand the gravity of it, but the satisfaction you’ll feel every time you see it and memories you have of your epic journey will make it worthwhile.
Seriously, the “band boy photo” just works.
Have you ever been at a rally and taken a really good look around? If you gazed long and hard, you probably realized the folks you're checking out aren't exactly the most stand-up group-literally. In other words, your motorcycling brethren are a bunch of slouches. The good news is that most of the general population has bad posture too, not just motorcyclists. The bad news is that the biggest cause of slouching is not laziness, but sitting.
That's right-simply resting back on your glutes can wreak havoc on your spine. It can shorten your hamstrings, abdominals and chest muscles and lengthen your upper back, lower back and quadriceps muscles. All those little disruptions add up to bad posture, which can also result in back pain. I can't tell you how many people I ride with have complained to me about lower back pain, neck issues, numb hands and so forth. And you've probably heard the complaints, too, or may have uttered one yourself. I'm not saying motorcycling is responsible for back issues, but it certainly doesn't help-in fact it will likely aggravate most acute conditions. With over 50 percent of the population suffering some sort of back trouble, there is a good chance you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Think of your skeleton as just a bunch of bones held together by muscles and attachments. The length of these attachments and the tone of the muscles affect the entire skeleton's position, or posture. And most people don't realize that sitting a particular way-be it with crossed legs, on your knees, Indian-style, whatever-or doing any one physical act repeatedly.
