Default Re: anyone notice almost every video everyone has shorts on ?

It's not uncomfortable wearing pants, a jacket, and a DOT helmet on a motorbike, that's the setup I prefer. I might add knee pads to the mix since I've been getting pretty close to dragging lately and its spooky.

i used to wear shorts when i first started riding these bikes, but now that i'm usually going 40+, i wear pants.

not really afraid of crashing, i just hate when my shorts catch all the air and blow up.

i never where flip flops anywhere. i hate shuffling around. but i wear converse or vans when riding.

I always wear a helmet, but in the summertime I wear shorts and sandals all the time, and I'm not changing my clothes just to ride my bike.

I tried the whole jeans thing, didn't work.

Then my engine ate a pair of jeans, soooo yeah, that kinda went out the window.
I do wear my helmet most times and sometimes my gloves.

I will not lie no faster then I plan on going I will most likely wear shorts in the summer. That said though when I road motorcycles I never left the house with out jeans and my leather jacket on in Mississippi and Tennessee summers. As far as a helmet Im sure Ill be getting one because I think its crazy here in Chicago all the yahoos I see riding like speed demons with out them.
