Yesterday I'm standing in my front yard as a guy and his teenage son ride by. The son is holding a damn poodle. Dad is maneuvering around cars on the street on this pint-sized Honda and looked like he just learned to ride. I was waiting for the crash. Thought I was in India for a moment.

F*ck it, I'm going out ridin', with fingerless gloves, chaps, shorts, flip-flops, and my ol' lady's HD logo wife-beater...I hope I don't get pasted up goin' down the road! Everyone will point and laugh.

chrome flip flops? Just make sure you're not a "foot dragger". You wouldn't want to scratch that chrome.
