I particularly like seeing the helmet between the handlebars and ear speakers. Comfort rules! Darwinism at it's best.

Been wearing flip flops for years on bikes with floorboards. Long hauls I'll ride with Keen hiking sandals. They're thick rubber covers the toes as well. With the B (which I flew int PHX on Sat, purchased and drove off the showroom floor), rode 400 plus miles home thru the desert (PHX to LA) with sandals. 85 degree weather. On Sunday, going thru the cyn twisties, my rubber covered toes actually scrapped the pavement. At 6'2" and 36" inseam have to order the Ultimate King, Roadsmith forward controls, and hwy pegs - ASAP. lol
Flip Flops == Hamburger, nuff said.

Do a Google search for images of: "motorcycle accident wearing flip flops" :shhh:
I have no idea how people are put back together; after sustaining some of those injuries.... :shock:
I went down once @ 50+ mph in mountain twisties. My leathers turned to suede, my helmet looked like a grizzly clawed it and the boots took a good scaring. Glad I wasn't wearing a wife-beater and flip-flops. Also glad I didn't go over the cliff.Quote:

After my last foot surgery I rode a few time with sandals since I could not get a boot on. I've had 8 foot surgery over the years and if I wanted to ride sandals were my only option and No I don't recommend this to anyone it is unsafe and one wrong move and they might just call you Stumpy.:shock:

I hate to say it, but that looks like a Pennsylvania license plate.:crazy2:
You certainly make a VTX1800 look small :icon_lol:Quote:

Also, from another of my posts:
"Motorcycle fatalities are not only our No. 1 source of organs, they are also the highest-quality source of organs, because donors are usually young, healthy people with no other traumatic injuries to the body, except to the head… [a mandatory motorcycle helmet law] could put us out of business – or at least the business of organ transplants.”
—Transplant surgeon quoted in “Brain Dead: Why Are There No Mandatory Helmet Laws?” by Jerry Garrett, New York Times online, July 7, 2008.
You make your own decision what to do, I know what I do. Safe riding!
Boots, jeans and usually a vented jacket because I can wipe off sweat, but not road rash.
