50 Cent: not the sharpest knife in the drawer

US rapper proves money can't buy common sense

50 Cent ... money can't buy you....
50 cent rapper

Now I like a bit of 50 Cent as much as the next man, but judging by this pic he's got rich and is gonna die tryin'. Someone needs to teach the US rap star a thing or two about motorcycles.

Number 1: That thing resting on your head. You've got it on the right way but it needs to go down a bit further and there's a strap underneath so you can secure it once it's on.

Number 2: That T-Shirt. Unless it's made from some sort of special material we've not yet heard of, it's not going to save your skin if you come off. You can get a good jacket and gloves for under £300.

Number 3: That paintjob. It's really going to affect the resale potential of your R1 and that chrome's going to be a bitch to clean.

Hope that helps you, 50.

I like the bike, me. I've ridden standard Japs with worse paint jobs...

It wouldnt exactly be a huge loss if that ill positioned helmet didnt do its job though? who cares if he dies, i would laugh; the worst part of his death on a bike would be the negative image afforded to motorcyclists by newspapers in blatant disregard of his idiocy?

 kill him now and be done with it

Eh? Do you know the guy, Donny? Has he cut you up on the way into work or something? Or is it just you're seriously offended by his lacklustre approach to personal safety?

Easy now, he may be on his way to Brad Pitt's place to educate  him on what a motorcycle could look like.

As for the chrome being a bitch to clean, you got it all wrong, you see 50 Cent got hisself a bitch to clean the chrome…

the only problem i have with this picture of 50 cent is idiots who idolise him may copy his helmet wearing antics, but i've seen young ped riders doing this already.  I couldn't careless about his t shirt and shorts.  He's old enough to decide what he wants to wear.  nanny state strikes again.

Reminds me of that TV show alien with the really big head. (?)

As for old 50 Pence, in that pic he looks like he's shitting himself.  Maybe he should have blinged up a C90 instead.

helluvaquick

I would say he 50cents short of a dollar.

(or as we say oop North, ten bob short on a quid)
