well - the helmet is law after all ;)
It's all how people assess their own risk. I'll go without jacket and gloves if it's real hot and I'm on a short trip, but I ride to suite.
Each to their own Smitty - but I understand the reaction.

you did say R6 right? that explains it... if he doesn't kill himself that way he'd do it via some other sort of stupid/darwinarian way! but yeah, each to there own, i think they should get rid of the helmet law..... nice way to cull the HD riders, heehee

actually Mario
the only thing more painful than skiers sunburn
is sunburn on top of the foot....
which is what you get riding a bike in thongs (plural)
so
if you ride a bike in a thong, you get sunburn of the cheeks..???? :twisted:

See it quite a lot actually living on the sunny coast. Usually just a singlet and a pair of shorts. I have seen sandals but not thongs. These people have obviously never fallen off before and when they do they won't be able to say "I'll wear gear next time" because there won't be one. Me laugh at them.

I've seen a few fat dudes on old fj1200's wearing the trademark blue singlet, stubbies (with arse crack hangin out of the top) and the double plugga thongs.

Makes you wonder if these guys really give a crap about life???
