do some people just not care?

[houlsby]

dont want to start a flame or owt but when i was at work yesturday i must have seen at least 30 or 40 pilions on sportsbikes wearing shorts or denim or similar! i know that its their choice and everything but WHY!!!!!

[instigator]

uh ooooooh......not another.

It's their choice at the end of the day - I just cringe when I see people doing it. Especially people with raw white legs. Good god man...

Could just be a small trip across town or to get to some destination close by. Beats me.

Worms, can of, opened!!

Yes it's there choice so let them wire in. Said something about this subjet a few weeks back and turned into an arguement.

Full leathers everytime for me

i really do not care what other people wear on thier bikes, its thier personal choice, if they want to take the risk of not wearing the proper gear then if they fall off then they obviously take the consequences!!

Don't forget that there are a growing number of kevlar lined denim jeans and jackets available now which are more than up to the job of saving your skin in a spill.

At first glance its very hard to tell the difference (I've often been 'told off' for wearing them ) and its possible that some of the riders you saw will be wearing these. If you look more closely you will notice lines of double stitching around the hips, knees etc which give them away.

I don't really have a choice as I suffer from quite severe eczema and find the denim, as its much cooler to wear than leather, doesn't bring me out in an itchy rash

The Americans appear to do it all the time and so don't seem to care about saving their skin at all.

I saw a woman the other day riding pillion only wearing shorts, the problem was that she has got a huge fat arse.

Now at this point i couldn't care about her safety i was more worried about my lunch being bought back up!

I mean what if a poor child had seen that it would have scared them for life......poor kids

Not too bothered. On a hot day I will go out in only my gloves and helmet, and whatever im wearing. Most probably a hoodie and jeans.
But I have my Textile or leather jacket under my seat incase im going on a big road or it get cold / wet.

If im just going down a road I know very well, then ill go in whatever im wearing.
