Ask most cagers and they will tell you that the mere act of riding a motorcycle is stupid and I believe
many would outlaw it if they could.

The OP didn’t ask for opinions on her foot wear. She didn’t ask about gloves or helmets. I’m sure she is aware of the risks associated with motorcycling, why do so many people need to restate the obvious and chastise her for the FREEDOM she is exercising?

Id love to see more women riding and more women participating in these forums, how about we not drive them away with the stupidity I’ve seen so far in this thread?
**** **** ........ Don’t give me that she was expressing her freedom bullshit as I was never incroaching on that, I was stating the importance of riding gear and the lack of which she was wearing.

Now if you need to save a damsel in distress bugga off and go post ya **** and diatribe elsewhere,.

Besides the girl looks like she can look after her self

Yeah, she can look after herself so why don’t you mind your damn business Wiz. Nobody asked for Your or anybody’s opinion regarding attire. The picture kind of looks like a photo shoot and not a stop after a long ride. Had you considered that possibility?

You are so worried about everybody else’s choices that it caused you to miss the answer to the question you asked.

So which one is it Einstein? Can the OP look after herself or does she need you to mansplain what clothes she should wear? I know it’s hard for you but try to answer this simple question and refrain from straw man arguments and dreaming up motivations anybody else might have for calling out your hypocrisy. It’s easy, can she look after herself or not?

This is ridiculous. The safety conscious gripe at the fashionistas every time there's a helmet preference thread too. Different strokes

Let it go.

I think you need to get your b@ll$ out of your wife's purse. Can't believe you folks are still pandering to this woman. Chick throws a Stage 5 upgrade on a new bike and bitches about her warranty being voided. And you sycophants trip over yourselves grabbing your hankies out of your back pocket to dry her tears. Freaking pathetic. If it would have been a guy complaining about that you hypocrites would have lit his a$$ up.

They're bitching about her shoes, not her bike.

Reading comprehension: F, but nice tantrum Mr. Internet Tough Guy

If it had been a guy under attack for wearing flats I certainly would’ve found his decision odd, but I’d defend his freedom to choose. Most of our 1st world problems would cease to exist if people would just stop imposing their morale values on others.
