I rode with a tshirt and shorts last night...

[jwm2k3]

This is something I never do, but I just went down to the center of town to air up the tires. I will tell ya, Im not really comfortable with my knee out there all naked like..

[MikeyZ]

I hate riding with shorts....

[burnham]

I do that about twice a year, not having gloves on is the part that really bothers me.

[nilez]

Can't stand riding in shorts, did it once years ago, never done it again. The heat radiating from the undertail exhaust is too hot against bare skin and my white meat chicken thighs hanging out is not a particularly good look for me. But every now and then it's nice to just ride into the village with sneakers and a t-shirt (rather than riding boots and jacket).

[nhbubba]

Ride without a helmet sometime. That's where its at.

Yes its quite hot near the undretail of my bike too...

The shorts thing isnt any good...and I was also wearing mesh top running sneakers. Shifting in these sucks....Im used to the Sidi Doha riding shoes.

I hate riding in shorts.. the road debris stings too much. Like Burnham I can't ride with out gloves even in my most squid-ly moments.

I sometimes ride down to the beach on warm days with shorts, sneakers, t-shirt...but at least I have full gloves on and look badass!!
Shorts never really bothered me until I tried riding my 09 R1. The heat isn't so bad from the exhaust, but when those radiator fans kick in while going slow...it almost hurts. I still ride it with shorts tho, because I can

That's what's wrong with society. We reward people for bad behavior.

I got some AirTec gloves for $35 (less a coupon) from Roadgear. They are freaking awesome for hot days.

The palms are leather but the backs are mesh and they are very comfortable.

[martyk]

were they shorts or "jorts" that is the question

[SVRACER01]

new job requires me to wear pants at work so im usually in pants, jacket, gloves, helmet and sneakers. on my days off though im in shorts and a t shirt, gloves and helmet (unless im out for a ride, then i wear the same thing i wear to work). in AZ i always wore shorts and T shirt, etc unless i was out for a ride.

[Rossco]

Damn, what is this New England Squid Riders or something?

[Chippertheripper]

Or something.

A little freedom is a wonderful thing sometimes.
Not every day, but sometimes.

And I tried explaining that to my wife. She wasn't buying what I was selling.

[Uncle Snake]

I forgot my back protector on my first ride of the year and I didn't go home and get it. Living on the ragged fucking edge I tell ya.......

[ZX-12R]

If it wasn't for the fact that the shifter starts hurting my foot after a couple of gear changes, I would ride in flip flops more often.
