Default What was I thinking?

You ever have one of those moments where you just say "What was I thinking?" I did tonight.

Gas station is 3 miles from the house. In shorts and sneakers and didn't want to change into boots and pants for a quick run down. Well ... after I gas up I notice the sun is almost down. So I play "dodge the hot pipes" while I get on my EGC. All is well.

Then ... I notice the bugs as I pull out of the station and yep ... the whole three miles was dragon flies, love bugs, etc etc. Crashing into my legs at 60 mph.

In case you're wondering ... it really doesn't feel good but I suppose that's what I get for wearing shorts.

Plz feel free to remind me how bone-headed that was.

Could've just stayed at 20mph and let the bugs eat you as you ride. Just remember for next time.

At least you had sneakers on.

The other day I saw some guy wearing a tank top,shorts and flip-flops!

How they hell can someone wear flip-flops and come to a stop without having that toe piece wedging into your foot or breaking off?
