...wot to wear on a bike in hot weather

[Smitty]

..just seen a male person riding an old bike (Z1 Z900 style not sure as I was watching the rider) go past work.

sure is hot here today, so very squiddish he has the flipflops on, the budgy smugglers (green ones!) and a yellow HI-VIS Vest
thats its ! (apart from the obligatory brain bucket)


yep..all very safe hi-vis and all

[z900/zx9]

Wasnt me,my z900 is tucked up in the shed today

[h.b.bear]

least when he comes unstuck they wont need to cut off his riding gear

Yep exactly what I would do on a hot day, maybe with a mankini instead of budgie smugglers as i am a bit shy after all.

I remember the days you could ride with no helmet and that was an unbelievably good feeling of freedom especially on the beach, good stuff and I love to squid

Sick of the gear change calus so thinking of getting a scooter (for the Mrs). Thongs are much better on a beer case platform

My quality double pluggers get caught on the gear lever, so I only wear Reebok's without socks now......
This guy has over did it with the Hi-Vis vest, hope it doesn't start a trend............

an update...

same male personage has just ridden past again....
pretty sure he has a Z1 with single zorst pipe

with the temperature now a luvverly 24° here, he is sensibly dressed today -
flip flops, running shorts ..and the hi-vis over a black tee.

geez now he has to be over-dressed....

Well going by the 2 L platers around my town tanktop and shorts and a fetching pair of dunlop volies lol. I feel there tan will also go with the nice colorful shade of gravel rash if the happen to come off.

Why dont some people stop and think for a moment......

I dunno why you lot are so anti squid, do you realise that leathers, gloves & boots cost a fortune? If you had a crash you'd scuff them all up & possibly even put a tear in them
Gravelrash doesn't take that long to heal & while you're laid up on the couch in agony you can look at your protective gear & be safe in the knowledge that it's still pristine.

Squids rule !!
