Default oh dear oh dear - summertime

Yes, another 'biker's in shorts are nutters' thread. However, I've not seen one so blatant and on an SV to boot.

Biggish lad, light blue SV pointy waiting to enter Bank junction in the City. Black shorts, a t-shirt (black) hanging around his neck, part covering his chest, back and stomach completely uncovered showing off his collection of tats. Wouldn't want to get stuck filtering behind that. Now, whose was it? Thinking of a cheap way to get rid of the body art or just really really hot?

Yeah, I don't normally like to criticise and each to their own but I just couldn't understand the t-shirt round the neck - hope he wasn't going to go too fast or he might have hanged himself

Saw a guy on the motorway. I was doing 70 and he over took me at a fair old speed, I'm guessing he would've been doing about 80, possibly 85 and he was in a t-shirt, jeans and trainers! I'm not going to rant at anyone not wearing kit, it's their choice, but it does make me cringe when I see it.

If adults choose not to wear the correct gear in hot weather, it's their choice and their skin.

What makes me froth at the mouth is letting kids go as pillion dressed the same way. Kids trust adults to do the best for them. That isn't the best, IMO.

On the nearly totally naked rideout yesterday (Raf was the let down there), we passed a guy on a ZX-6R wearing no shirt.

When we discussed it at the stop, I was all ready to make comment, when one of the wise ones of the site brought it up, commented on how it wouldn't have been his choice but.....

So yeah, I wouldn't have chosen that myself (mainly because of the accidents I would inevitably cause :P) people can wear what they want as far as I am concerned.

Oh and nearly naked rideout cos there was a naked Z750, SV650 and SV1000 there
