Driving through the city the other day and saw this:

A bit hard to see, but basically, a dude in full leather jacket, helmet, gloves, boots....and shorts.
It's like taking vitamins and smoking a pack a day- why bother?

haha well at least he is wearing something. Kinda like in the winter around here people where big jackets and shorts, doesnt really make sense. The guy that I sold my gs to was riding like that and he crashed. Everything was touched except for his legs and feet.

That would be more like wearing leather race pants, but nothing else...

Whats wrong with that.

Sorry, I just realised that you meant while riding the bike

RVertigo · October 02, 2006, 06:39:29 PM

Yes... I meant while riding... Riding a motorcycle...

Get your mind out of the gutter.

I saw a guy the other day wearing shorts, tennis shoes, no helmet, and an A-star jacket.

bubba zanetti · October 04, 2006, 07:47:09 PM

The worst I've ever seen was a dude riding a bike wearing shorts, t-shirt & thongs (flip flops). He had a helmet on of course because it's compulsory here.

Egaeus · October 04, 2006, 07:54:04 PM

I've seen them like that but without the shirt and helmet.

common sight int he warmer areas.

RVertigo · October 04, 2006, 08:04:25 PM

When I was in AZ, I only saw one guy wearing a helmet...

Yeah. Very rarely do I see anyone wearing gear. Sometimes a helmet, but rarely much more than that.

makenzie71 · October 04, 2006, 08:19:54 PM

it's becoming a bit more common here...but I think it's mostly because of the bugs.

Mandres · October 04, 2006, 09:26:45 PM

My favorite was the kid on an older Ninja 600 next to me at the gas station a couple months back. No helmet, no gloves, no jacket, no shirt, no shoes, and the coup de grace: a giant, unlit philly blunt hanging out of his mouth.

He stalled the bike no less than four times trying to take off after filling up. I would have given anything for a camera.

makenzie71 · October 04, 2006, 09:36:57 PM

meh...you gotta be able to distinguish between the people who think they're riding because it's cool, who think they're riding because they like it, and who think they're riding because they think it's a financial savior. He was probably one the latter.
