these Camo'd up f*ckwits

Which reminds me, I was in the gym the other day, and the bloke next to me is getting dressed and puts on his camo trousers. "Camo'd up f*ckwit" thinks I. Then he put on his Camo jacket, elastic belt, shiny boots and a beret. Oops ! :oops:

Whyb do they wear camo, it's not as if they are trying to use stealth ,
what do they think will happen they try and sneak up on their unsuspecting prey in their 2.5t diesel tank along with it's spare jerry cans on the roof and 42 spot-lamps only to scare the prey away because they decided to wear their jeans

( The 4x4r drivers not the proper camo wearing soldiers)

I have a Landrover

I have a motorbike

I wear camo pants

I ride a mountain bike

I ride a road bike

I ride my bikes more than i drive my Landrover. Unfortunately i'm not bald and i haven't got a beard so i'm not quite sure where i'd fit into your categories. I have however got a few tattoos if that helps my case?

I wear my camo pants because they're comfy. I've not been able to fit into my jeans for a while now so i've found myself wearing my baggy camo pants more often.

Why do you wear lycra on a bike? Because it's comfy... yet some people still see you cycling down the road and think 'lycra wearing f*ckwit'.

Perhaps you were one of these cyclists who ride in the middle of the road 'just to be seen' and they were simply trying to get past.

+1 except for the motor bike and road bike ( but working at that one)
I am not anti 4x4 ( I'm on my second disco and my Mrs has one) I am just curious why some of them feel the need to dress in camo, if it's a "roomy clothing " thing then fair enough.
But I suppose it is no worse than someone on a road bike in full TDF team outfit but is clearly a sunny Sunday rider

Some peeps wear their camo pants for other reasons as well. If you're off-roading and have a puncture, you don't want to be changing a muddy tyre in your jeans. If you get authentic camo (army surplus) it's made especially for maneuverability and durability and will easily shed the mud if you do get caked in the stuff. Not to mention it's cheap and chips so if you do wreck your pants doing whatever, you can pick up another pair for a tenner down your local surplus.

It's just practical. Half of the fellas that wear camo couldn't give a f*ck what they look like so they hardly wear it for fashion.

Oooh do you see many Ferraris?

I once saw 3 or 4 Ferraris and a couple of Lambos in Aberdeen a few years ago. Don't underestimate how rich oil barons pay themselves up there.

I was out for a Sunday ride in the mountains behind Nice a couple of years back, descending the Col de L'Ecre. Up the winding road towards me came a van and, behind it, three red Ferraris all in a convoy. They bobbed and weaved and assessed the chances of getting by but in the end they just had to wait for me and my bike to glide past the lot of them. 8) 8) 8)

Nice thing was, I exchanged a cheery wave with the one in front.
