Why would you do that?

[Jchan11hk]

Just drove to work now in the rain, two things that I dont understand in SA.

1. Riding your bike in the rain
2. De-badge a car

For debadging, not the model or performance badge, it is the actual manufacturer badge

Most probably stolen. I've seen lots of Mercs and BMW without front badges. I have a friend with two Mercedeses and both were stolen.

or it just fell off?

1) Poverty
2) Stolen or preemptive removal to prevent theft

   It’s just water.
   
   Infinitely more mindless is letting your life waste away while sitting in inevitably more hectic traffic and therefore being there much much longer than the ridiculous time you usually sit in it.
   
   It’s no way to live.
   
   The insanity is actually why wouldn’t you?

It's actually a zero cost option from dealerships.

Begone with your bike propaganda.

Your buddy steals cars?

"De-badge a car" - You have no taste if you do this to your car. Its like shaving your eye brows. Its weird.

You make it sound like fun to take the bike in the rain.
But it really is not. I hate the feeling of the water dripping down my helmet into my suit and then running down my back.

I'm ashamed to admit I only take the bike when the weather is great, which is 99% of the time for me. Days like today, forget about it, I will take the car.

Both badges were stolen.

 

[CamiKaze]

They steal badges to sell it to owners of other cars that don't have badges (it was stolen, it's a vicious circle).

Well then the odds are good the driver is a woman.

I have zero issue with driving in the rain but driving in the rain with other people driving in the rain is what I have an issue with. I wouldn't ride a bike in Jhb to get to work and back in the dry, never mind the wet, simply because of other drivers being on the road.

My life is much more precious than that. The way that people drive in the rain, makes me scared even in my car, let alone on a bike
