today at work this dude i was helping was like "ahhhh my leg". i asked why and he said he rode his bike and got burnt by the pipe. he was wearing shorts, t-shirt, and a pair of sunglasses. i replied with "thats what you get for being a squid!". he laughed....

anywho..

i went outside with him and looked at his bike and convinced him to do a fenderectomy on it. i didnt know they were even so bulky on the full on sport bikes as well! (quasi n00b)

naturally, i gave gstwin.com props for the idea

I'm in the same boat.  You start to forget what the stock fender looks like when everyone that you ride with has theirs all chopped off.  I go into showroom and youre like:  What's up with the wheelie bar?!...Oh that's the stock fenders..

Oh and has far as calling your buddy a squid.  I gotta side on this one with him.  There's no way I could wear protective gear in this Tennessee summer.  I mean you're in stop-and-go traffic, city heat and low-speed and straight road.
I realize that it's always safer to wear your gear but in these conditions I make an exception...

The jellybean isn't exactly a full-on sportbike.  I don't see how someone could burn themself on the pipe without doing something stupid.  My legs are in front of the pegs when I'm stopped.

Of course I now get what you're saying...
