    The bikers who generate the poor perception issues for bikers, generally aren't bikers. If you catch my drift.

    So raising it as a "community" issue is flawed in the that the flip flop wearers generally aren't of the "community".
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Thankfully only a helmet is required by law.

    That way when I head down to the garage in my jandals, stubbies and tank-top I know I'm safe from the law as long as I have my helmet on.

    Well I think we won't find any agreement as we have different opinions,which is very good by the way.
    But I hope you can understand why I feel bad sometimes whenever I see bikers crashed...
    I do care for my skin,my frame and my body so I wear full gear either during winter (well full gear plus in that case because of the cold) or summer and high temperatures:there are plenty of stuff which are made especially for differents seasons.
    But I also must say that I would not be keen on to be a pillion (yes it happens sometimes to me still) with this kind of bikers as competent or good it might be.
    Besides I do thing wearing tight (well not so tight) leather pants to be very flattering on men

    You can get an exemption.
