Default Too hot for biking

I never thought I would ever say that, Its just so uncomfortable in riding gear. Have had 2 days off and I missed a track day too. Im riding my pedal cycle to the pub instead.

Yeah tis pretty toasty

Though this is no excuse to go out with just t-shirt and shorts!!

That goes out to the pillock at Box Hill on the Hayabusa with the stretch swingarm in fact you had no top on at all!!

Well each to their own

But your organs will be permanently ventilated when notice not if, you come off (I take it everyone is aware of the law of sod).

Yes some folk are very fond of telling you how you'll get hurt without full leathers on.
If I wasn't an optimist I wouldn't ride a bike

I rode to work yesterday - Fully leathered up OF COURSE

But for the time i'm on the road it's not worth the hassle.

10mins to get ready - 10mins to get to work - 10 mins to get changed!

AND you're all hot and flustered for the rest of the day!!!!

Came in the car today - I agree - IT IS TOO HOT FOR RIDING (unless you're going on a decent mooch )

Me too. Jeans, steelies and an open leather jacket.

Dinnae care about the safety aspects, I'm too young. Plenty of time to be old, boring and sweaty. *said in JEST*

Having said that I'd never go out in a t-shirt and shorts with no gloves.
