Name on Windshield

[ndC7M8]

Why do people buy a $50,000 pickup and then put a 50 cent bumper sticker on it?
Why do city folks tow their 40 foot travel trailer to the mountains, park it in an area with 33 other travel trailers, pull out a couple of lawn chairs and call that Camping?
Why do people insist on driving in the left lane when there is an open road in front of them and there are cars lined up behind them?
Why do hotels buy HDTV's and provide no HD programming?
Why is diesel fuel cheaper to produce yet more expensive at the pump?
Why were children of my generation taught how to treat a woman by Pepe Le Pew and then 17 years later get served with a restraining order for stalking when practicing the incredible lessons of the master of seduction, Mr. Pepe Le Pew.
Why is it cool if 43 full grown men (or 42 men and 1 woman) put their name on their overalls and the roof of their car, drive in circles and they are heros but a guy puts his name on his snowmobile and he instantly becomes a douch bag?

"Hey, how exactly is a rainbow made?
How exactly does the sun set?
How exactly does a posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work?
It just does."

Just cause it drives this guy bonkers I am going to put my name on my windshield in hopes of running into him in the backcountry

Anyone have a decal guy that can print me "PIMP" in large white letters????

No more pimpin for you. Maybe you should put "MR MOM" on yours now. CONGRATS!

And all the mormons, muslims, and catholics. Let's get controversial bitches. Im gonna get me a last name sticker to chap some a**. Must have been rode circles around by a guy with his name on the windshield i'm guessing.

That reeks of awesomeness!!

i put my name on my sled, you put your name in the back of your underwear. no big deal

BURN!!

This thread has surpassed to coolness of the Abbreviation thread in Colorado!

I don't need my name on my sled. But it's only one that looks the way it does.
But there are a lot of guys that may not be mega pros like the Golden Boy, but they are very visual on the forums and have sponsors. It's just a way to keep representing the kind folks that are generous enough to hook a guy up with gear for free, all in trade for the extra exposure that the rider gives by posting pics on the forums or Facebook.

[sledhead_79]

[ryan_625]

Chalk me up as one of those D-bags. BTW I do rock a flat billed hat and I am not ashamed. Come play with us in Wa. and then I will let you smack talk all you want

 

[550iq]

Every Iron Dog racer has their names on their sleds, you calling the greatest snowmobile drivers in the world d-bags? Come ride with them and we'll see who is the real d-bags are. 550iq

 

[bustin515]

I have my name on my windshield and it was before Burandt. It's called a racing thing!

 

[whittaker727]

Put me on the D-bag list. I'm proud of the sled that I built and I'm proud of my reputation on this and other site for being a guy with sound advice and a straight shooter when it comes to working deals. If someone sees my sled or my name and that strikes a up a conversation, then so be it. I'll be happy to put a face to a name anyhow. Heck, you can even call me d-bag if it makes you feel better.

Again, WHO CARES, it's not your sled, not your golf clubs........not yours!! If you don't like it, them what ever, don't like it but it doesn't automatically make that person a _________.

Does it really matter, if someone has their name plastered all over THEIR personal property? Does it really matter if a guy rides like complete crap or swings a golf club like a drunken Ray Charles as long as there out enjoying a sport, hobby or past time and there not hurting anyone???? Their having fun, learning and someday, that "d-bag" or "retard" just might be better than you?

Just because you don't particularly care for another person's personal taste, doesn't make them, quote...."retarded".

What are you talking about, lol. From what I said before, how do you come to the conclusion that I dislike having your last name on your sled? If you believe your a good snowmachiner then its a confident statement that your better than average!!!

I HAVE MY NAME ON MY WINDSHIELD, and I was hesitant at first because NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY OR THINK? OR WHAT SPORT WERE TALKING ABOUT? IT IS A STATEMENT THAT SAYS "I COMPETE", "I RACE", "I AM BETTER THAN AVERAGE", "I AM SPONSORED", "I AM PROFESSIONAL" ETC. And when others see it and think that guy is a d-bag? You get to show them why you have your name there!

My other point, what your saying is that people with the names are not good riders? I would bet $1,000,000 that 90% of every sledder with a name on their sled is a pretty darn good rider! So the 10% of guys that are considered below avg. riders that have their name all over, that is what I believe to be "retarded"

Every person that posted their pics of their names is probably a darn good snowmachiner, they know it and their buddies know it! I HAVE NEVER RODE WITH SOMEONE W/ A LAST NAME ON THIER SLED THAT CANT HOLD THEIR OWN! BUT THE DAY I DO SEE SOMEONE, IT WOULD BE QUITE EMBARASSING FOR THEM imo.

 

[Dartos]

I have my name on the windshield and my jacket just so the paramedic will know what name to use while attempting to revive me. Am I part of the 10% or 90%?

 

[RMK8]

my company must all be d-bags as well we have are name on all shirts, coats, company truck doors.

 

[beefspots]

?

Why do people keep posting insignificant complaints about stupid sh** in a Performance & Modification thread...........These forums are great tools if you can get through all the crap.

 

[ATVPT]

That's it, I am taking the F-150 logo off my truck
before peeps start to talk

 

[89sandman]

people actually leave that fugly windshield on?

 

[CatRpillar]

I cant believe how many people have the last name MONSTER!!

Interesting thread. I'm 53, can't ride worth crap anymore after three knee surgeries and two back surgeries. But I am still getting up the hill because thats what I have been doing for 44 years. I thought this sport was about having fun and enjoying yourself with your buds. I ride a Cat with carbon and lots of other weight saving stuff because it makes the pig harder to get stuck and easier to handle, and easier to get unstuck, not to impress others. If that makes me look like a goof to some , so be it (hey, look at the idiot with the bling and he can't ride worth chit.......).

Poser, racer, boondocker, whatever, the OP has a point as now some are starting to call out the bottom 10% based on riding skill but are offended that he called out having names on their screens. I'm going to put how many years I've been riding on my sled and the hotshots can put what percentage of riders they think they are 'better' than. Probably a bigger number than if they put their IQ on it.
