I don't know how anyone can ride in sandals or flip flops, hurts my instep to upshift in tennis shoes on a long ride. I went to boots a long time ago. Guess I'm just a wimp (but I still have all of my original outer layer of skin).

Yesterday on my way home from work, I see these 3 older people on brand new scooters. 2 women and one guy Wearing shorts and flipflops. The second rider was a woman who must have weighed around 300 to 350 lbs. After she made the turn thru the intersection, she adjusted herself in the seat and the weight shifting, I could have swore she was gona loose control. That scooter almost did the tank slap thingy. Sure hope they made it to their destination.

A co-worker at my last job showed-up to work on a chopped Honda VTX.
The co-worker is 6'9" and 480 lbs.
Another co-worker watched him park the bike. When he got off the bike the 2nd guy said "At first I thought the bike had saddlebags but they were your butt-cheeks"
He 'bout got his 'cheeks' handed to him.Pat Kelly

Maybe I'm just looking for this stuff now. Yesterday coming back from Destin, Florida after a short, but well needed, vacation at the beach we noticed a guy on a crotch rocket at high speed wearing a t-shirt, shorts and sandals. He was wearing a helmet though which is wierd since no other rider I saw while there was wearing a helmet. Florida must not have a helmet law.Mike Giroir

Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
