So much gear up top , so little protection down below...

Driving home today I spot a motorcycle next to me, 2 lanes across. We stop at a light and there is a car inbetween us and I can only see part of him. My initial thought was, "Good he's wearing his gear" He had a full face helmet, joe rocket jacket with pads and gloves. It seemed he was set. Then I get the green light and he pulls up front. The guy was in SHORTS and skinny little FLIP FLOPS!

HELLO!!!! It was the oddest thing i've seen. Why so much gear up top and hardly anything on the bottom. Shifting gears with flip flops must really stink, and it wasen't a heel/toe shifter!

I guess he thought a burnt leg and crumpled toes are better than a cracked head and road rash on his chest?

Zoo, "Judge him"? Geeze, I don't think he made a helmet comment.

Ride topless, ride bottomless, just don't come here whining when you grind something off.
