What Not To Wear (while riding)

Well, I must say, I think that bike is fairly safe from being rear-ended.
You took the words right out of my mouth :rof:
Wow! How does this happen! Umm........................speechless!
In the early days of motorcycle racing, this is how everyone cornered. "Hanging off" didn't exist. Although hanging off is now the accepted technique for decreasing lean angle and maximizing corner speed, I think you can ride both quickly and safely without hanging off just so long as you don't drag parts.So here's the most recent one that I saw that just made me :jawdrop: No gear and horrible form to boot. Leaned over that far with form like that is just asking for a crash.
Calling someone stupid for not hanging off is a bit extreme.
Loving the Yoda quotes! You guys are hilarious!"Lean or no lean, there is no try!"
"Judge me by my engine size, do you?"
I believe the classic definition of squid includes "young". No one under the age of 30 would be caught dead in socks and sandals.This is your classic squid.
It's a good thing that bike has the stock fender on it still. With a fender eliminator and that load on the back, it would definitely be an eliminated fender!!
Who needs lowering straps with friends like that!?
In case of crash, wrap body in soft material...preferably blubber.
Ok, ok...I'm done, now that I have officially been awarded a first-class ticket to hell. :spank:

if dude has to make a sudden stop, I doubt he'll be making babies afterwards
Just as an aside to the whole gear discussion..
The other day I was trying to turn around on a squirrelly gravel sidesloped road, and of course down I went. My GAP jeans tore like paper and I was doing what, 5mph? My SIDI boots did a great job of keeping my ankle intact (it was pinned under the bike). And my elbow was fine since my jacket has armor.
I ordered these pants when I got home:
Joe Rocket Ladies Alter Ego Textile Pants Competition Accessories
mesh with a removable liner. Problem solved.....
Happy I learned via a slow speed lowside and nothing major.
