Wouldn't more or less everything sting in a bath of vinegar? :lol:

Looks grim though. If only people would stop doing it, there's a GSXR 1000 I see through rugby and on my way to work sometimes. He undertakes me (every time..) on the dual carriageway at like 100mph in shorts, t-shirt and ankle high boots... It actually makes me feel sick :thumbdown:

Jeans are alright, for short journeys but... Why would you wear a t-shirt?

yes, wear a long sleeved shirt, that will at least cover the skin grafts :sad2

and Jeans are feck all use in a crash, they just add cotton to the gravel in your wounds

Ah we are back to the regular summer discussion on attire. A Gentleman should never be seen in anything but a G string, galoshes, gauntlets, ex WD rubber mac and flying helmet.
I can see the relevance of the immortality theory, IE if you wear a full complement of kit you believe you will be protected in any eventuality, however ride naked and you are fully aware of the outcome of any woes that befall you. I don't advocate naked riding (well not the bike, sorry motorbike! anyway) but jeans, jacket etc. have their place as long as you moderate your exuberance.
During the recent warm season I have taken to riding in a Belstaff jacket, jeans, gloves, boots and piss pot helmet with goggles, and most refreshing it is too.

Why did you forget to empty the piss pot again before donning...?

:lol: :lol: that'd be the degenerative confusion poor Trev suffers from

on the Bedford bypass the other day some guy with all the right gear on on his GSX-r shot by with a girl on the back who was waering a vest, shorts and sandals. And a bra was patently obvious too. Was horrified
