Great pic...looks like a great day/ride!

 

Looking good. Enjoy the ride!

 

I wasn't even a teenager yet when I learned to never ride with shorts again. Another that we know better and if I were to be so...umm, careless??? I sure would not post a pic on a forum. Love the old Spock saying, live long and prosper. Hope ya live long enough to prosper OP.

 

What's cali?

 

To the OP - remember. Some idiots will give you crap about wearing shorts, while they ride without helmets, shouting slogans like, "Ride Free!", and, "Let those that ride choose". Ignore them all.

You do you.

 

I like most of your posts bro but 'some' of us aren't idiots. We have learned the hard way. Take note also the jackets along with the Converse high tops??? Some of us do not need to make a statement while we ride. Sorry but I only opened this thread again to show the wife who also thought it was stupid.

 

Now, hear me out. I'm not in any way saying that anybody that commented is an idiot. And, I agree that one should wear long pants and foot protection when riding. All I'm saying is that if he wants to wear shorts, that's his business - and that nobody that rides without helmets or gloves or any other personal protective equipment (I'm right there in that group) should be careful before handing out judgement! He without sin, etc, etc!

 

I can honestly say that when I went down on my Busa at 65mph, I was wearing jeans as I always do but they did absolutely NOTHING to stop from abrasions from the road. The denim material lasted about a millisecond before my knees started to get tore up. Jeans may make you feel better or protected but in reality if you do go down, they don't help much....unless you go with the "riding" jeans with armor and such.

 

Great looking bike. Like the minimalist fairing, looks fast.

 

I also would never ride with high top sneakers. Only quality riding boots.

There are those of us who have been down and those who have yet to lay down a bike. Live and learn.
