RE: Think its cool not to wear any gear?
Unfortunately if you dance the dance you gotta pay the piper. I've seen far too many peeps on the interstate lately in nothing but a muscle shirt, shorts and sneakers (gotta wear the helmet -- it's GA) doing 85mph to 100mph. When I am riding I won't play with these peeps -- won't ride near 'em -- won't race 'em -- won't acknowledge them in any way. Not being snotty but there's no way my conscience could handle any part of one these idiots wiping out on the asphalt and dying (or worse living without the use of half their body).

RE: Think its cool not to wear any gear?
Coming from work yesterday I pulled up to the light, this guy on a Gixxer 600 had on a tank top, baseball cap, shorts and sneakers. His girl on the back had a t shirt and shorts and sneakers. I just had to say some thing "Hey man you really should wear some gear, hate for you and ya lady to get in accident" his reply "hey man that shyts for losers" I just shook my head, his girl gave me this snotty look. Oh well I tried to pass on some common sense.
