Maybe they're trying to cool off their sack. I do this sometimes when riding for a while on the highway. The breeze feels so nice. :)

Hahaha!!! Best response in the whole thread. Got me laughing out loud in the break room at work. Coworkers and customers must think I'm crazy! This is signature worthy, :rof::rof::rof: nice one dude! You deserve some major rep.

Gah I can't ride like that. My skin would burn in seconds. I can't tan worth a damn. I'll burn and afterwards be just as white before. lol

he was prolly going too fast out of that left turn, panicked, stepped on the rear brake, locked the wheel, and slide-o-rama... Quick reflexes tho. He got off with just minor task on his right palm. I like how the little boy is the one who comes over to help to put the kickstand down... lol. What are all the adults doing?

OMG! How embarassing! Lol... He did do a very nice dismount. I wonder if that means he had gotten used to doing it... :rolleyes:

Why have so many people been blasted and had their pictures plastered on this site recently? I'm guessing none of the people from these photos are here to defended themselves from the high and mighty who I guess wear suits of armor when they ride. If it's within the law then people have the right to ride in whatever they want. I just don't see why putting them on blast is so popular on this site.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

You super awesome racing ninjas with your super awesome $500 suits and $500 helmets can take that baggaf goppin nonsense elsewhere. Call me a damn squid all you want. I wear my lid, a t-shirt, boots, gloves, and my backpack full of work gear. Call it, I don't care. I also have a few choice stickers on my lid. Can you guess what they say.

In response to the "gFy" posts over the past several pages:

Seriously?

Wow.

Yes, the law allows you to be just about as foolish as you wish. I was 18 once upon a time, and by the grace of The Almighty, am blessed to draw breath this day.

I wear ATGATT not because I'm the next Rossi, Stoner, Hayden, Eslick, Hayes, or McGuinness -- I wear ATGATT because I don't want to be on the Google image search wall of shame for "road rash", or worse.

Furthermore, I, for one, am tired of paying $$$ for the foolishness of others, nor do I wish to be a burden upon those I love, and thus take simple precautions to reduce those risks.

Who said anything about $500 gear? Just get the best for what your budget allows, or find a different hobby.

Look at that guy's bike, body, and designer clothing... you think he's unable to afford simple gear? And allow me to hazard a reason as to why he was CARRYING his lid instead of wearing it...his ego won't fit.

This forum is replete with members who are still riding and posting with us today because they wore simple gear.

Despite knowing these truths to be self-evident with every ounce of intelligence and common sense within you, go right ahead and rebel away. Redirect all that which you are angry about in your life into your version of a middle finger statement to the world as you ride.

Rawr.

Just remember...

Point, just so you know, you are most likely more that just wasting your breath. I have always done the same thing.

Honestly, I have given up trying to argue with someone that says "It's my right to not wear gear". I have contributed it to people not knowing what will happen. Seriously, if any one of these people would go down, and go through the pain, and suffering that would follow, not even including a hospital visit may think twice about wearing shorts, tank top, etc. I see it all the time around here, tons of Harley's in this area, maybe because we are so close to a main manufacturing plant. The thing that really bothers me, is when I see a guy riding around with his significant other on the back, and she is wearing a tank top, shorts, flip flops, etc. My only thought is that the only reason that she doesn't wear gear is because the driver told her that it isn't necessary.

Not wearing gear is just asking for it. No one in their right mind would take sand paper and scrub down their entire body, but if you go down when not wearing gear, it is like that, but worse. Get all defensive if you want to and say that it is your right, but don't get mad when we call you foolish, because that is exactly what it is.

The gear vs. civil liberties debate has been beat to death in several threads. If you're curious where I stand, search is your friend. We have more than enough threads on this site already dedicated to this topic and it never goes well, so how about we move the debate to one of those threads and keep this thread on it's intended track; a place to come and feel superior by mercilessly ridiculing squids. If you're a squid and thus offended by the nature of this thread, feel free to make a "Easy Now, Bud; You're On A 35HP Bike Riding Across Town" thread and bag on all of the street Rosssi riding CBR 125's and Honda Ruckuses (Ruckii?) with their knee pucks and aero humps.

...and now, back to our originally scheduled content: Look at this squid with no helmet!

this is all I hear when people tell me they don't want to wear gear....
"I wanna be cool, and pick up chicks"... and at that point, I've done all I can...

When it comes to gear, I wear it for the serenity in my mind. I've read stories about people going down, I've seen pictures, I've watched videos and they all make me a little conscientious about the hazard of riding the road. I do it because If I don't, my family (namely my mother and father and brothers), my friends would not let me hear the end of it. I tell people that it's your choice in the matter; you're a grown-a$$ adult and can make you're own decisions. I respect that. The only thing that makes me want to scream are folks that don't wear helmets or full-face helmets... if I go down, I'd like to keep as much of my face and body intact as possible. If you don't want to wear gear, more power to you and I wish you be safe on two wheels. The last thing I want is to see fellow riders go down and become a statistic. Just my two cents on the matter.

Really? Take it elsewhere? No. You obviously do care since you are here defending something (that you don't care about). ALL my gear is less than $500 all together. Easily. Have you wrecked in you lack of gear? I've wrecked IN my gear. Would have been a whole 'nother story if I wasnt wearing it.

Lets see what those stickers may say since its a guessing game...

Organ donor.. (whatever may be left)
Hey look at me, IM COOL!
Too cool for gear
I dont care about my skin
I'm going to raise your medical and insurance rates
Chicks dig skin grafts
Squid 4 lyfe


Get real... :jerk:. There is no reason to not wear gear. Too hot for gear, take your car. Mesh gear is great for hot days. One stay in the hospital, picking gravel out of your skin/bones and fileting skin from where they can to use on your ground burger flesh will change your mind. Dont expect any sympathy...
