What the heck is wrong with him, everyone knows you can't wear basketball shoes on a harley. Jeez, we should take up a collection so he can get some of the proper safety equipment like a half helmet, bandanna, and some Levi's along with proper engineer boots, you know the ones with a buckle.

He rode Harley's with me until age 77, and the only thing he changed in his "costume" was, he began wearing boots and a helmet. He's 84 now. Everyone to thier own, I say.

Have him ride a bicycle first with the shoe laces dangling. Amazing how strong shoe laces are!
