What Not To Wear (while riding)
- Thread starter JonKerr
- Start date
all i can see is a girl in a full leather suit, but i have a good imagination.
It's been a little while. But Many of these pictures are just as much me asking "are you insane?" None of these people can say "it's too hot for gear." (Not that this is a valid excuse IMO) It's been pretty cold here the last couple of weekends for this time of year. I was on this road right before most of these guys. It was 40ºF out there! I was frozen in full leathers with liners inside, glove liners, and long underwear.
Butt Crack!!! LOL
And finally, I'm a huge Charger fan myself, but this is just not a smart move.

Seriously - the light blue Charger's jersey and the Yamaha blue don't go together at all!And finally, I'm a huge Charger fan myself, but this is just not a smart move.
When I glanced at this picture really quickly, I thought to myself, "That is one huge ass exhaust pipe!"
Then I realized it was a sign in the background. When I glanced at this picture really quickly, I thought to myself, "That is one huge ass exhaust pipe!"
haha nice!
I mentioned this on another thread already... But, on Sat while resting roadside we saw a rider in shorts, T-shirt, no gloves up in Azusa canyon. Just as we collectively uttered "SQUID," he took a really bad tumble going around a seemingly easy turn down the road... And, he was hurt really BADLY. Knee chipped to the bone, fingers bleeding like crazy, and road rash all over his arms & legs... He was an ugly mess.
Riding too aggressively is a sign of bad judgement. Not wearing gear is absolutely no joke. Even with gear you can still get seriously hurt.
Please everyone ride carefully & wear your gear at all times...

Well I stopped because I was sick of getting the hate mail from the squids who are on here who get all bent out of shape for being called out. I'm not kidding, some of it was people who were SERIOUSLY pissed off. I know it was striking a nerve with people, which is good and bad. It woke up a lot people to just how crazy it is to ride totally unprotected. But it just got tiring, I knew every time I'd post up a bunch of pictures, I could count on a couple of PM's and Emails form people. Calling me a prima donna, hypocrite, and many other names that I won't repeat.Jon...will you keep this going for us please? Thanks
If you'd like, I can keep doing it. But if all the hate mail starts again, I'm not going to continue. It's getting close to squid season around here so the photo sites should be ripe with pics in the next month or so. It was insane how many we saw last weekend when my wife took me out for a drive (can't drive myself yet on all the pain meds) riding in shorts and t-shirts. We were down by the beach and saw the typical, guy in shorts and a t-shirt and slip on shoes, chick on the back in a bikini and no shoes. It was such a moral struggle. The chick was so damn hot on there, but so damn stupid.

I say go for it! If you start getting these "hate" mails and harassment pm's etc, forward them to me and I can have a little talk with them... If they dont stop then, well... they will
This is all for educating riders on what not to wear while riding. Especially on those roads. So you are doing a favor and helping people realize it is VERY dangerous to not wear gear. I've had my accident and know the gear saved my ass even though I still ended up in the hospital, I could have been dead without it. If it helps smarten even 1 person up and saves their butt, then good. The haters can hate somewhere else. :thumbup:
So...
WARNING: Anyone sending JonKerr (or any other member for that matter) any form of hate mail/pm will receive an infraction and if it happens again after our warnings, possible removal from the board.

Thanks Jay. I'll go through some of the sites and see if there's anything on there from the last few weeks. It's been cold here for the last 5 months (yes it gets cold here and even snows on those roads. lol) We still ride since it's not crazy cold like many of you guys have, but there probably won't be much since guys don't really ride in shorts much when it's 40ºF out. But this summer, I'm sure there will be plenty for me to choose from.
