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! :shock: 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. :wink:

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