I seem to recall that Mike Hailwood had an accident while going to get fish and chips? He wasn't planning on having an accident, but it killed him anyway.
Some hereabout seemingly haven't heard the saying,
"Dress for the slide, not for the ride."
Riding in shorts is stupid, but you have that right (for a little bit longer at least). It's your life.
Just don't try and pretend that it's anything other than stupid because it isn't.

Well thank you very much, Warkworth is not exactly the Riviera of the North now is it.
The only good thing to take there is a bladder full of stale piss, cause you do have some good public shit houses.
And the only good thing to take with you when you go, is the big breakfast, from the shop the Chinese people run. All the other lazy bastards are closed at eight o'clock am
Don't you ever come back to Wangavagus I will get Mayor Laws!! to baaaa you. The only Mayor with Balls, besides Banksy.

No. Says the ones that aren't stupid.
Find me an authoritative source that says it's OK to ride around on a bike in shorts, tee shirt, and jandals, and I may be convinced.
On the other hand I don't have to move out of my chair to read several that advise to the contrary.

i regularly ride in a tshirt... hell sometimes i will ride in a sleeveless shirt.
my only major off, my protective gear was an open facer helmet and steel cap cowboy boots. i was also wearing jeans, a singlet and cheapo warehouse sunglasses.
i landed on my back [i think] and walked away.
my legs, which were the most protected, are fucked. i cant kneel for long periods without my knees locking. my left lower leg is nothing but scar tissue, and even shaving is agony. a slight brush of a finger is almost enough to send me through the roof in pain. pillioning for more than an hour on a sprotsbike means a bit of staggering on my part when i get off.
my upper body, i got two small knicks in my thumb and the lens came out of my glasses.
