Half Naked Bikers
By Nick | July 2, 2008
Some things confuse me. Today I was driving down the road and I saw a guy on a Harley that was wearing flip-flops, shorts, and no shirt.
I realize that it is hotter than Hades out there, but what the hell is this guy thinking? All it takes is one idiot to swerve and make a mistake and have this guy skidding all over the road. I am talking serious flesh meets pavement. Can anyone explain to me why guys like this don’t wear any sort of protection. I mean come on, at least wear boots, Jeans and a shirt….that’s not too much to ask is it? Protect yourself from road rash guys. More importantly, protect yourselves so that I don’t have to see your body be ground up like hamburger while I am sitting at a stop light and you come sliding by. I’m not down with that.

Road rash is a serious matter, I hear ya.

you know what I don’t get?
they always have signs posted that read “No Shirt, No Shoes…”
Why don’t they ever mention pants?
Also, Half Naked Bikers might be scary, but imagine Fully Naked Fry Cooks…

I would definitely wear at least a pair of jeans, a T, and shoes. I have personally gone on motorcycle accidents wear the guy (riding a crotch rocket donor cycle) wiped out and actually ground his leathers off! So a guy wearing nothing is going to be paying with more than a pound of flesh. It looks pretty ugly too.

Donor Cycle!!! When I say that people look at me like I am daft…but the numbers speak for themselves.
When my kids were little we witnessed a bike hitting a car (that pulled out in front of it) and the guy slid across Kempsville Road on his stomach. The majority of the contact with the road was in the crotchal region, which made a hole right through his jeans (I think he was going commando) and turned his little soldier into about a 1/2 a pound of ground chuck. The kids were too young to notice but it left quite an impression on me (and the poor biker I would bet). The moral? Wear your armor boxers when riding a motorcycle in the city!
