Can you tell from this actual unretouched photo, who is the NFL Defensive Tackle and who is his motorcycle instructor?  I know it will be difficult to tell, so take your time.



That's Fili Moala of the Colts. He's a new rider who recently bought a RoadGlide. I worked with him for a week out here in SoCal. He wears a 5XL Helmet.

Well I went and got help from six of my neighbors and we ended up in a tie.

Good for you, and him. Another safe, well-trained rider on the roads. 

[Chains]

Good job, another well trained rider gets ready for the best time in life, on two wheels.

Wow, 5xl helmet. That is one big man right there  Glad he got some good training and hope he stays safe out there.

I looked at the helmet and said told him he could cook two whole chickens in it.

A couple of months ago I a guy come to town and try and take the class at the last minute. He told me he needed a helmet, so I sent him to motorcycle row on Lincoln Blvd in the Marina. There is HD, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha and two customs chopper shops all within a block or two. So I was shocked to find he couldn't find a helmet. Then I learned he had a 3XL head and was told by all the shops that anything over 2XL is special order. I wonder what the wait is for a 5XL. I also gave him contact info for Bates and Langlitz leathers. Those places custom tailor, and he's gonna need it 'cause their ain't no way he walking into a bike shop and buying cothes off the rack.

Man, I always thought I had a big head!

Am curious Mark.  Given all the restrictions that professional athletes have on off-field activities were there any unusual waivers or other hassles to deal with to give lessons to the man?

I think Ditch had a 5XL leather he was looking to part with. Right now being out of work, maybe Fili wouldn't mind a used jacket

I asked him about the clauses. About being limited from skydiving, scuba diving, hang gliding, parasailing, zip line running, car racing or motorcycling. He said most agents don't do that because they realize that players like to have an enjoyable life away from the game. However the high profile, all about me, always in the news, bad boy jocks, their the ones who give the league, their team, and their agents headaches. Their the ones who end up with clauses. Out here in LA it's the same thing with celebs. Guys like Jay Leno, Tom Cruise, Stallone and them guys all ride bikes. Some like Stallone and Arnold have an "Entourage" for protection, but others just ride. It may give the studio and their agents fits, but it's a risk they are willing to take. Most celebs like full face helmets because they can hide from the paparazzi better.

Some pro athletes have clauses against playing in celebrity fund raisers or pick up basketball games. That's why they show up for the dinner and charity, but pass on the event. It's too risky for them to be banging elbows with street hacks. I'm probably wrong but I think back in the 80s during one of those made for TV "Battle of the NFL Stars" contests, Willie Gault of the Bears pulled a hamstring racing the 40 yard dash against Darrell Green of the Redskins. After that he never did one of those competitons again. I've probably got all the names and stuff mixed up, but you you know what I mean.

Tell him if he gets traded to the Falcons give me a call and I'll ride with him.  I just hope we have a season next year.
