Ha I saw that 2 up wreck on another forum too, I cringed when I saw the front tire in the 3rd pic, dumb A$$'s.

Imagine how much those scabs are going to hurt

It was 95*F memorial day here. I was a good girl and had my helmet, jacket, gloves, jeans and boots on. I would have loved to ride w/o all that, but I dont want to deal w/ the consequences just in case.

Have to admit it gets hot when you’re geared up but as long as I am moving its all good. It also depends where and how you are riding, a cruise down by the beach in full leathers on a 90 degree day [&:] or hitting the canyon on the same 90+ day. Canyon gear, beach jeans.

Dumb move! The only thing I'm guilty for is just wearing jeans, even though I do have pants. Always, always wear my helmet, jacket, gloves and boots. I wore sneakers once - but my feet got cold and I didn't feel very good doing it!

Yea when I wear sneakers I feel bare and just keep think of how mangled my ankles are going to be if someone hits me again [>:].
I really do not feel comfortable unless I am all geared up.

Size 15, you must drag a lot of toe.
