Ahh! Yes, possibly should have mentioned it's not a nice picture - however I really do want to get the point across to as many people as
possible - some people appear to have very little imagination!

I was out in the kit over the weekend and jumping out of the car at a petrol station with my lid on I received a comment that wasnt a helmet overkill
in a car?
This particular prat was riding a harley sportster in shorts, vest and flip flops I simply laughed and carried on fuelling.

Organ donors in waiting, idiots.....
I ride in full gear with armour and back protector no matter what.
The birthday suit cant be really put back on if you decide to get it dry cleaned

Some people can never handle the truth and always try to shoot the messenger instead of taking an honest look in the mirror (its always easier to
blame another than to face reality), but secretly they wish they could grow a pair and be the messenger !!!

Having had a big off recently on a trackday I wouldnt ride without full protection I beleive my back protector saved me from serious injuries, and my
leathers from very bad road rash I still ache now though!!

I have to admit I don't have a spine protector, just the standard thickness of foam that you find in off the shelf leathers. But I still wear
full gear every trip, even if I need a towel or a sponge by the time I reach my destination!
I did once go for a quick test ride round the block in just my overalls and a helmet (wanted to see if a carb clean had been effective), I felt so
unsafe that I didn't go above 20 and brought it straight back in.
I was really shocked to learn in my CBT that the only legal bit of clothing required for a bike is a helmet, and they don't even look for any
kind of approval for that! Even a visor is not a legal requirement, and everyone on here must know how much it hurts to get a bug in your eye.

Memories of my unsafe and not risk-assessed youth, riding across Sydney Harbour bridge wearing nothing but shorts and beach shoes, along with
obligatory open-faced helmet and Oakley's.... boogie board under one arm.
That was back in the wreckless days of the late 80's. If I was to repeat the experience, it'd be a capital offence, akin to smoking or
exceeding the speed limit by fractions of a K.
The thought police would be knocking now if they knew that I'd love to repeat it, but perhaps I can thwart them climbing into my bubble-wrap
suit, demonstrating that the citizen is behaving normally.

Pah!
A kindly nurse will just pull it back on like a well worn sock and all will be good again (assuming the owner of said foot is not dead from other
injuries... which I kind of think they might be as photo's like these tend not to get taken at roadside unless the subject is very VERY still...
and going nowhere in a hurry!).
It's Evolution Baby!

I done exactly the same, that's why in this weather I would rather be on a car with air con on and CD playing!
When I had my off 'corner was to slow for the speed I was going!' I had full leathers on only suffered a broken arm, other lad beside me
had come off asscooter at less than 30mph in jeans and tee shirt and no gloves was covered in gravel rash!

Ah, gravel rash is such fun, having watched a video where they use scouring pads to clean the wound just makes me want to have a go!

Don't do Faceache but I can imagine.
Years ago a documentary described the likely outcomes of riding without proper protection.
Amongst these was the fact that in most accidents the ankle-bone is the first to touch down - without riding boots it grinds the bone away on the road
surface!
A biker in shorts and T shirt came off at speed on the motorway. He was largely un-injured but died pretty quickly from grit burns over most of his
body!!
And whilst I'm at it - second to lack of kit what really makes my blood boil are the biking tw*ts who sit astride the bike whilst filling it up
with petrol!!!
Be careful out there.....
Cheers, Pewe10 
Thanks for that Jossey VV just what I needed before I go off and cook sausages!!

I thought I read years ago an artical in PB that at 60mph you can grind an inch of bone per second.
I always wince when I see an idiot just wearing a tee shirt and shorts on a bike

I asked a friend about that as I knew he did it, he said it was to get more fuel into the tank because it was more upright....
no, I don't understand either...

No problem at all, try dribbling petrol on a hot engine or exhaust and see what happens... it boils off before touching it and just turns to vapour. I
reckon 95% of people sit on their bike when refuelling. I know I do 
I had a gas leak on the chop shortly after filling it, peed a lot fuel all over the hot cylinder head and exhaust. No dramas.... Sparks set fuel off,
not hot engines. And sparks are most likely when you get back on the bike to start it up after refuelling, maybe we should start them up while not
sitting on them too
That said I've got a vmax now, so have to get off to refuel as the tank's under the seat!

Makes no difference at all, apart from the fact you can actually fill the tank right up.
