Seen dudes pop monos and ride like idiots on Gixxers in shorts and t-shirts all the time. They are probably are gonna be going too fast to survive when they stack anyway so why bother being uncomfortable

I thought the term 'squid' meant that the rider would one day only be useful as bait like the creature after a crash!

Nothing like a little air-conditioning to the gonads at 180km/h!

Well this thread just opened a big can of Whoop-dee-doo. If I had a dollar for all the bike riders I see in that attire....
EDIT: In the same token, I think riding a bike is nuts full stop, let alone in shorts and thongs. If they had any sense of self worth theyd wear the right gear. Ive never ridden a bike myself, but given the nasty skinnings i got as a kid on a push bike, having the same on a motorbike could only be horrifyingly painful. x2 on skin crayons. In all light heartedness, thats a good one. Last edited by SSD-85; 11-02-2010 at 11:47 PM. |

after seeing first hand what happens to a person who doesn't wear the appropriate gear when riding I cannot understand why people would run the risk.
A close mate of mine came off his Ninja at around 100km/h wearing a polo shirt and standard denim jeans. The guys still in hospital getting daily dressing changes that cause him so much pain they are been forced to keep him sedated because he was fighting the hospital staff off. He's lost 2 fingers and possibly will lose another. So to all you crotchrocket riders out there, please for the love of god were the proper riding gear

Only a minute percentage of registered donors actually donate. I think only brain-related fatalities mean that the lower organs are undamaged. I think sliding off a bike and having your skin torn off would possibly render your internal organs useless....

It is a figure of speech used to refer to riders of motorcycles that refuse to wear proper safety equipment, not in a literal sense.

how stupid, why would you go to all that trouble to protect you top half, then be dumb enough to wear shorts and thongs on a bike, anyone who rides should realised the dangers of riding without proprer saftey gear
