Bikers' Banter

I did something really really bad today.
I went up to the supermarket on the bike (don't call it a scooter )(less than a mile) in the village with no gloves and no jacket, pants, shirt, shoes and helmet was all i had on.
I should be thrown in jail.
At my age one just does not give a monkeys.

Mate.. I do it all the time.... so does Keith "Shadow' Lewis...... In fact it's how I prefer riding around in the heat as it's way more comfy.

Example, today I have a 2 minute trip to work then another to a house, then back to work, then to the shop, then home..... Will I wear full kit ? na.

Each to their own , but I can't go anywhere without getting togged up , tried it once and felt so wrong almost as if naked .

I insist on gloves.

Have got an open face helmet in Spain, but feel more vulnerable in it.
If i wear a t-shirt, i have to make sure i tuck it in, so it doesn't ride right up my back

I've been wearing mostly full kit this time, but not on shorter trips. (Moraira to Javea)

I did buy an armoured hoodie. Bloody brilliant. Excellent for hot weather.

I always wear everything, but I had a crash on the first day I ever had a full face lid and completely wiped the front off it and the leather jacket I was wearing. Never quite forgotten standing up afterwards and realising I was wearing rags. My boots were good though

I've had a really nice Heine Gerike mesh jacket for the last 13 years and it's heaven on a hot day. This year it no longer fits, (although the trousers are strangely fitting nicely). I have been very hot, waiting at traffic lights. Mesh gloves are still good though

I thought that said 'my boobs were good'

They're not what they were, though they're nowhere near my knees yet
