I saw a guy on a Yamaha this summer ripping up the highway at around 90mph. He was wearing sandals,shorts, and a tank top, no helmet. That was bad enough.......... on the back though........ he had a little girl, probably around 8 years old, wearing sandals, shorts , tank top, and no helmet. Remember he was going at least 90 on the interstate flying by everyone in the fast lane! Irritating....[:@]

While I normally ride with boots, if it is a short trip, I will wear tennis shoes.

Too many tattoos on your legs to ride in shorts?

SO........are you embarrassed by them? I mean, why spend the money of em, if ya don't want anybody to see em?

I don't like riding behind people that ride too fast to enjoy the ride.
I don't like riding behind people that spit and expect you to dodge it.
I don't like getting oil all over my pants under the air cleaner.
I don't like getting sprayed cause some idiot slows down at a puddle when I have my speed just right.
I don't like not liking toride with other people.
I don't like how much it costs to fix my bike when something happens to it.
I don't like a dress code just to ride my bike.

That oughta do for a start. Just let me know when you want some more negative comments, and I'm sure I can accomodate cha!


Fortunately, I like to ride, and that outweighs all the dislikes.
BTW I've ridden with sandals, and shorts, but I'm not been accused of being the smartest cookie in the world. (yeah, I said cookie cause I'm such a sweet motherfu(&er) and I have burned myself also riding in shorts. No scars though

The thing that really ticks me though, is seeing guys riding with sneakers. I dont know why....it shouldn't even warrant a second glance....but it just pisses me off like all get out....and I dont even know why.
So I should return those new $500 Willie G. designer toeless sneakers I just bought?

The blunt skulls that are wearing shorts,tank tops, and full face helmets.That leaves an impression of someone who is lost in space.

Not sure why, but I agree with ya. Riding in sneakers, shorts and a tank top just lights me up. To top that, we were in Iowa at a rally, there on an old shovelhead, was about a 20 -25 yr old girl, nice lookin', riding with sneakers, short shorts, and NO TOP. God, don't some of these ppl get it? (That REALLY lit me up )

Never much gave a spit for what someone else was wearing while they rode their bike.

I just seen a pic of a guy riding with a pair of sneakers and shorts on. Well I dont know about you guys, but I got way too many tattoos on my legs to ride with shorts. It seems that no mater how careful I am I ALWAYS burn the **** out of my right leg....and I got the scars to prove it.
The thing that really ticks me though, is seeing guys riding with sneakers. I dont know why....it shouldn't even warrant a second glance....but it just pisses me off like all get out....and I dont even know why. Hell....I dont even own a pair of sneakers...the only things I wear on my feet are Danner boots....for work, for play...for riding....all the time all year long.
I am sure if I thought about it I could come up with a few more things that **** me off about the way others ride....but its getting late.
Lighten up.
Just worry about yourself, not everyone else on the road
