I ride in shorts and T-shirt regularly. Of course not all the time but if I'm just going up to the shops, gym, mates place or blowing out the cobwebs then yep. I'd even wear jandals if it weren't for the fact that changing gears with my toes kinda hurts.
If I'm going on the motorway then minimum of trousers and leather jacket (gloves optional).
However if I'm going for a blat down SH22 or out of town then its full on race leathers, boots, armoured gloves and back protector.
This is all completely legal. If anyone has a problem with this then you really need to be taking it up with your MP, not acosting law abiding citizens over delusions of some imaginary monetary loss you believe they're about to cause you.
I wont ride in shorts and a T shirt because, well, because I is fat.....
Phew glad to hear it would put me off me grub...
IMHO as long as we argue about what is safe and what is right we are never going to get anywhere, as has been posted already divide and conquer. I wonder if Dick Stiff gets this stuff sent to him when he is feeling a bit low, must give him a laugh and perk him up no end.
My personal opinion is I wear ATGATT, I have seen gravel rash and its long term effects, not nice and I am too chicken to risk it, others have different opinions, I look at guys riding in shrts etc. on hot days and think two things - 1) daft buggers a spill is gonna really hurt, and 2) lucky buggers, bet you ain't as hot and sweaty as me!
