I notice a big increase in bike traffic over the last few days as the good weather has arrived. The disturbing aspect of this is that the riders are doing something very foolish in my opinion. While many fight their battle over helmet laws, I see a much more foolish attitude taken by those who ride wearing shorts and T-shirt and sandels or light tennis shoes. Think about it before you go out for that evening ride or let your kids go out on the 4-wheeler. Toes and skin by the sq ft can be expensive to replace.

Very true words Santo. I've been riding for 30 years and can vouch for that. I even have a few test areas to prove it. I don't ride without full leathers except in California it can get so hot that I might take the jacket off so I don't pass out.

Funny you mention 4-wheelers. I had a couple of guys in here last week wanting me to print up a little logo that represents mistakes made while riding in this particular club. All the same except for the colors. Different colors represent the degree of stupidity in a particular situation.
The guy that picked up the stuff was all scraped up!
