Around here, temperatures have been in the high 80's to low 90's (F) for a few weeks. I'd say that about 80 to 90% of the riders of all types of motorcycles out there were wearing no protection other than the (required) helmet. Perhaps a little less than half actually wear shorts, but I'm not one of them.

Around here the temps are in the mid 70's. I guess you live here to know what I'm talking about, or I need to describe it more accurately. It definitely seems like a look people are going for, with the armor over t-shirt. I'm not criticizing guys wearing body armor.

There's a KLR rider I saw all summer riding in shorts. I don't think he realizes that as a KLRster that is not permitted. Well I just saw him go by work just now (low 30's out today) and he had chaps on!

That guy better be careful. If the KLR crowd finds out about this he's going to be in deep deep doodaa. Dude needs a milk crate and some Carharts but I guess he didn't read the rules when he bought the bike.
