Sadly, theres atleast a 50/50 shot he is a squid cause hes on an r6. Could be worse though, it'd be like 80/20 if he was on a gixxer.

Speaking of R6's I was in lincoln last weekend while riding and came across a guy on one doing a burnout at a red light, then takes off like a bat out of hell doing a wheelie, then slams his brakes on b/c of traffic. Wasn't you was it??????

OMG! I saw the same thing a couple days ago at the AM/PM.
Dude had a new Arai helmet, AStars jacket (expensive one), AStars SM-X boots, and shorts... on a first gen Ninja 250.

I can't be too hard on him. Yea, its stupid, but I honestly don't wear armored pants. Not because I don't want too, but because I'm a fatass and find it hard enough to find regular jeans that fit me well. I would never ride in shorts, though, that's for sure.

Look into Fieldsheer. I had a pair of 44" pants from them and they were way oversized. . . it was a cordura overpant with mesh parts throughout. Those pants survived two wrecks; one in which my bike was totalled. I had ZERO rash in both occassions, and generally you are not supposed to reuse gear. . .

If I recal correctly, they had sizes all the way up to 50"

Maybe he just doesn't like his legs?

but then why wear the boots? if he doesn't like his legs, so what, but then why bother wearing the boots. maybe he plans on losing his legs, and donating his feet?

Maybe he has dual prosthetics already??

saw a clown pulling up to a light wearing a white T shirt and a black vest maybe 19 short guy he was trying to talk to a person in the car behind him before he stopped ..when stopped his hands are going up like hes cathing rain drops and listing to music short of standing on the seat and dancing . so the next light the same and a stoppie -o course a gsxrrrrrr

Squid . He's showing people he can afford the gear , but has no clue what it's for , apparently . Otherwise he'd have something OTHER than shorts on .

[Zepp]

I see a lot of people wearing shorts, screw that!!!

Why the heck would someone wear all the other gear with shorts??

[jimwag81]

was it blue?

No, it was a very pretty red.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into them.

I have to admit I occasionally wear shorts and no helmet. Why? During my lunch break at work I sometimes go running behind some nearby businesses. When I'm done, I'm really hot, so I'll ride and grab some lunch in my running shorts and no helmet instead of changing back to my work pants. I take my helmet with me so I can put it back on when I cool off, but I usually don't wear it immediately after running.

It comprises a very small percentage of my total riding time. While it is a risk, I take it easy and feel I've brought the risk down enough for me to be comfortable with.

Phew, then it wasn't me. I don't do silly things lke that anyway, I spent way too much on my tires to waste them.

As for gear, can anyone recommend a good summer jacket? I'd like to always wear one but when its hot and humid in the summer its just too unbearable to wear what I've got now.

I wear an ICON mesh jacket w/ lining out, but i'm also in New Mexico where humidity is near 0

btw....total squid, not that I haven't (and continue) to do stupid things, but really to go half *** and not put on pants? MAJOR squid, if you're going to wear shorts, go with a tank top, dew rag and cheap sunglasses (also flip-flops)!

if I post 3 posts in a single thread, does that make me a post *****????
