Default Oh dear, my village has gained an sv riding chav

I for one welcome peoples choice to ride an sv and have seen one bimbling around the village where I live recently, that of the turquoise pointy veriety, and I think the owner may have progressed from a moped on to the sv.
No problem with that we all had to start somewhere, but I've just been up the school to pick the kids up and he has cruised past the school on the sv wearing shorts and a skid lid and beggar all else.
Conclusion; chav.

I went out to the shops today in shorts, tshirt and trainers + lid. I'm not a chav but after riding into london yesterday in full leathers i decided i'd raide extra safe to the shops and not come home like a boil in the bag spidey.

The way you'll be really sure about your villager is to wait till it gets a bit colder and then if he's in a shell suit with a hoody over the top, you know.

I rode into london yesterday evening with my bass strapped onto my back. By golly it was hot- thank God the rehearsal studio was air conditioned.

Even when it's effing hot, I'd still wear all my kit. I've seen plenty of litre sports bikes ridden by the barely clad in recent days.

Precisely, I know it's hot, f****** hot, but I do think it's bloody ridiculous riding around in any weather with your nips out, doesn't matter how careful you ride that doesn't account for numptys in cages that could easily send you skidding down the road on your ar53.
conclusion; he's still a chav.

Well the drive thru i went to is only minutes away from me. If i needed to use a dual carriageway or fast road then yeh i'd wear all the gear but for this short jounreny i'm happy to take the risk.

Oh and i've had gravel rash before so i know full well what i'm letting myself in for should it all go wrong.

A ridiculously high percentage of accidents happen no more than a few hundred yards away from your own home, i personally wouldn't risk it for the biscuit (or a takeaway)

Edit: obviously i agree with the 'chav' part
