For the bikers on my f-list:

 



Get your motor runnin'
Would you go on the highway on a heavy bike dressed like that? I haven't seen any bikers wearing more than a pot for a helmet and just normal street clothes, no full leathers.

That is normal gear for American bikers actually.

Yeah, I haven't seen any who were wearing more than jeans and shirt and a pot on their head. To us Europeans and especially those who know a little bit about motorcycles, it is deeply deeply scary.

Different roads, different driving conditions *shrug* I think you need more gear over there, right? For the most part bikers here try to stay to the open/country area's.

The best biker can crash and if you do that wearing only a tshirt and jeans, you'll leave your skin, flesh on the tarmac or at least crack your head really badly.
OK, they don't go as fast as street bikes over here, but they'll do 50 easily and that's not a speed at which I'd like to meet the road.
*shrugs* I guess it's a different mentality.

Doesn't mean he's not an eejit.

"everyone else was doing it" is not an excuse for anything

It really depends. Driving conditions are different, and such *shrug* I don't ride a bike anymore so I can avoid the darn conflict hehe

I noticed it myself and thought "my biker PC wears too much protective gear" and then decided i didn't care, because wearing protective gear is just sensible!

You need to ride over here a bit, it is totally different :)
