    Riding in shorts

    Anyone see the TV3 news earlier. Had a piece about a couple of Aussie riders being snapped by a revenue collecting camera. Read a thread earlier about aussies riding in shorts but these guys were doing 120 with thier legs over the handlebars wearing stubbies !! Ixions Darwin theory again prevails
    If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning

    and another thought, legs over the bars in stubbies! wouldnt that result ib a high chance of the mouse pooping out of his house

    making any possible road rash much much worse

    Nah. The wind chill factor would shrink said mouse to no size at all which woulld in turn render it impervious to road rash .... or anything else for that matter.

    Don't park your bike in the summer sun.

    I was at a Ulysses meeting last night and a guy pulled up across the road on a VTR dressed in Swandri, shorts, and boots. We wondered if he was coming to our meeting but he didn't. Judging by his attire he may have been looking for a Federated Farmers meeting?

    (Note: The guy was wearing the Swandri, not the VTR...)

    I used to ride in my school shorts every day when I had my first bike. Came off once at 60kph. Wore my school sorts the next day to school. Had many folk tell me Im going to die, I need real gear ect ect. At one stage I worried about it, after a while I got sick and tired of other people telling me what I should and shouldnt be wearing on my bike.

    Hell, if thats what they want to wear, let them, its their funeral. I see a variety of reasons why people think that people like that need cuddeling and education, me, I just leave them to do as they please.

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Have a cry, theres one way to fix that DONT RIDE A BIKE Im sure these guys werent to blame......they are in Australia.
    Wear what you want on a bike I do, until the law changes to say you must wear leather/protective gear at all times on a bike people will continue to do it and if they do change it everyone will have a cry about thier rights and that they should be able to wear what they want.

    Cant win and this topic has been thrashed. NEXT
