I just spent 5 days in Ft Lauderdale & Pompano Beach FL & I saw 100 or so bikes on the road go by. Shorts, flip flops & only 1 rider with a helmet. Funny, none pasted me at all.

We wear denim shorts sometimes between noon and 5 o'clock when its above 85*, but we always wear our Harley shirts, Dk gray or black.

No flippy floppies. GREAT! Wife says they melt to easy on mufflers anyway. Don't ask how she knows that!
We do wear mid high leather white tennie shoes.


Just don't wear white after Labor Day. That's a big no-no!

I see the OP point as I am ATGATT all the time but in the words of John Wayne as Hondo "A long time ago I made me a rule to let people do what they want to do" Still gives me a little shiver when I see it mind, pavement is an unforgiving SOB.

If they wouldn't have pasted (passed) you wouldn't have noticed, so you would have no reason to care. But, they did pass you and for some reason, now you care. Hmmm, seems to me it's not so much how they were dressed but that they passed you ?????? Seriously, who cares?

I never care what people wear,but have to admit seeing bikers with shorts,tanks,and full face looks a little out of place.Just a small case of road rash usually is the training needed in those cases.Don't worry about the spelling,I sure don't,read you loud and clear.

So whats the difference between complaining about what people wear & riding without a helmet?

Just ride as you like, it's your decision.
