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

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....

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 !!
