Default Untied basketball sneakers on a Harley?

Wise move? haha.

Guy riding near me today was pretty proud of his Jordans, I guess.

They were untied. Both of them. Like a teenager does to be cool. Very cool, long, red laces too.

I'll suggest an open primary for his bike if I see him again.

That's why I wear flip flops when I ride. Don't need to tie them.

I have enough trouble with my shoes tied! More than once the loop in the strings have managed to loop around the shifter. Makes for an panic situation when you cant get your foot down when coming to a stop.

On my way to Leesburg today, I saw a hot chick in a bikini top, jean shorts, and yes.....flip flops.

Florida riding gear in true forum.

There's no boot for the paramedics to remove if you're in an accident either.

Ask any squid, scars are a badge of honor and nature's tattoos..
Think of the bragging rights.
"this scar is when I went down at 200 mph wearing only flip flops"
Bravery from a wheelchair and a colostomy bag.

Loose shoe laces can cause a major problem when they get hung up on something when you go to put your foot down at a stop. Laces need to be tucked into top of boot or shoe to prevent this. JMHO and tip of the day.

" Like a teenager does to be cool."

Teenagers today don't know the meaning of the word "cool" Most of them are nozzles.
