Default cover your legs or you may get burnt

make sure you cover your legs while riding , i went for a 35 min cruise stoped at gas station to pickup a drink , felt my leg a little stinging , i rubbed it and 2 layers of skin peeled off , barlly felt it and 4 days later today , it still doesnt hurt much at all , been trying my best to keep it clean ect , just a note to all that burns can happen !

Are you a diabetic? How could you not feel that as soon as it happened?

I have burnt myself on my motor too but i felt it the instant my leg touched it(I was wearing shorts) it sucks when you burn yourself, it has only happened to me twice.
how did you get burned that low on the leg? exhaust? I burned myself on the motor.
these china girls like to run real hot (I like it hot) lol
