I've got to share this one....
Abuddy who is a very experienced - used to be a 1%'er - was showing me around a resort area near to us. It was a beatiful day and the longest run I've had yet. He decided to show me the beach area and it was beautifull!
He was leading me but I stopped. As always I was in protecive gear; helmit, armour jacket, jeans, and boots. He was wearing no helmit, sandles, tshirt and shorts. I could see that ahead of us there were sea shells and allot of unpacked sand. Needless to say he went down did about $1k damage, had a serious, I mean serious burn to his calf from the pipes and scratched the bejezzus out of himself.
Stupid is as stupid does.

When I first got my bike, I was wearing shorts, and I was just jockeying the bike around in the driveway. My calf barely touched the exhaust, and it burned the dogcrap outta' me. No way will I ever throw a leg over a motorcycle without being in jeans and boots.

I'm one of those guy's who will occasionally wear shorts,t-shirt,and tennis shoes to just go "uptown". That is when most of the accidents occur. Yesterday I rode 25 miles to see my cousin wearing mesh jacket, draggin' jeans and boots. You guys are right, better to be hot than road rashed!
