Well i was gonna tittle it.. "ow my bottom"... but i didnt think it would be manly to say..um... oh nevermind.

I can remember many yrs ago a co-worker had come off his trail bike on bitumen and came to work with his legs all bandaged up. We all bagged him...
A few months later he did it again... and again he wasnt wearing any protective gear. We bagged him even more...

I didnt think anyone with half a brain would need a reminder to wear the right gear.
Idiots like this are called "Temporary Citizens" for a reason.

The problem is Australia can be a bloody hot place. When you are sitting in traffic all leathered up on a hot summers day sweating your **** off then you will know why people ride like this.

thats it.

if im going on the motorway or a decent ride then im wearing pproper gear, but if im just commuting or going for a toddle up to the shops then its just helmet jacket and gloves.

i see plenty of cyclists on the roads, often getting up to similar speeds to motorised traffic. pretty sure lycra isnt as effective as leather.

... right after he came down from his 'fullysick' mono

Mate of mine had a bike merge into him on the highway, rider was in shorts and a t-shirt... he didn't bleed for quite a while, apparently his hands and knees were just ground down to 'white'. Lived to tell the tale too and acuse my mate of running him down... the nerve.

Many years ago attended a MVA in which a female dressed in a bikini, riding her Ducati 900 SS laid it down rather than t-bone a car (car's fault).

She only had light gravel rash, unfortunately it covered about 80% of her body, including breasts, butt, abdo and back. We treated her as a burns victim and enroute to the hospital she asked what will happen. As I had come off my M/C three months previous I told her they will clean it with a scrubbing brush. I showed her my almost new shoulder and knee and she was happy with the results.

End result - she went to theatre and had the abrasions cleaned under a light anesthetic. I would see her every now and again and always with leathers - made her look even hotter!
