Leather jacket, leather pants with pucks, and no gloves???
I hate it when guys do this. Just dumb. I don't care what you're wearing.
This is why I stopped riding Palomar. Happens all the time out there.
This is a kid without any gear on.
The male dilemma. Hot as hell with the thong hanging out. But that's so nerve wracking to see.

At least they attempted to wear some gear, but the girl in front, didn't they tell her to lean with the bike and rider? That's just asking for it, and that vest won't help much if they fall, the hoodie will tear to shreds along with her skin.

I have a big confession to make guys. There was a heat wave this week in NY... it was around 7:30pm and it was still over 85f and humid. I actually went out on a ride to gym with a tshirt and sweatpants.
First time in over two years of riding i've done this. I felt really guilty afterwards...lol

OK, I'll confess too.
I cleaned the garage today, so had to move the bike out and park on the street. I rode it about 200' in first gear, with only a helmet as protective gear. I moved it back in by just wheeling it, which is really what I should have done to move it out.

Exactly. I live and ride in the valley, westside, mid-cities, downtown, SGV, IE, and OC.
Two weeks ago I purchased a Sonora Air because I was broiling in my beloved Transition 3. I also unzipped the panels from my Flex pants.
Wow - what a difference.
Just need 8-10 mph and the breeze starts to cool me off, and I do a LOT of street/boulevard driving in the middle of the day as I ride from client to client site for my work.
I still wear my Solution WP Air boot, Scorpion SG3 gloves, and Shoei RF1100 helmet.

Yes please wear your gear! Except her. She's all good
I'm also thankful she shaved her pits.

Wow - guy on 2nd bike has great concentration.
Either that, or his rider (don't want to presume it's a gal - I'm not judging) is checking his helmet direction and will whack him upside the head (or cut him off) if he wanders...literally.

now this is the problem I've had a few times, the chicks never can sit still....
The girl up front is trying to stay upright making the bike lean more. I had to pull over the other day have the little woman get off so I could tell her that she needs to stop wiggling around so much as I ride and quit leaning the opposite direction of the bike's lean angle. I've had this same conversation with her 3 times now. If it doesn't stick this time I din't know what the heck I'm going to do with her.... I'm probably just going to have to tell her she can't ride with me anymore until she learns not to try to stay as upright as possible.

I've had that conversation with my wife. Luckily, we only had to go over it once. I had her out for a little ride and lunch and I noticed I was fighting the bike really hard and it was wanting to run wide. It didn't take me long to figure out that she was on the back leaning out whenever I tipped the bike over. I pulled over and told her that, if she found herself unable to resist that urge, she could quite literally kill both of us. I told her to keep her body exactly in line with my body at all times. Problem solved!

I just tell my wife to put her head over my shoulder on the side we are turning. So if I am turning left, put your head over my left shoulder, and as such for the right. That seems to get them in a good decent position. Easy to remember as well.

Very similar to how i taught my wife. I just explained to her that she needs to look through the turn just like i do. Never had an issue. Shes a great passenger.

I know as a general rule we said no cruisers... but wow!
Handful from today. Didn't really see too many out on the roads today. But we were out early. Long before the photogs were out there.
Loafers? Really?
