In a perfect world we could ride like this all the time without any fear of sliding down the road or going over the hood of a car. *sigh*
*Sheesh* is right, when I first started out on scooters about 10-12 years ago I dressed for the weather. It felt great! Until one day whilst wearing a particularly loose legged pair of shorts a hornet made it up the left leg at 60mph, I was lucky I wasn't badly hurt. Shortly there after, my son gets a sport bike I tell him he must wear gear, the great 'do as I say, not as I do' arguement ensues.
I don't 'preach' gear except to my kids!
Two weeks ago after some 'tinkering' with my scoot, I took a quick 'buzz' around my block, about 2 miles, in just shorts and a tee. I felt naked, it felt great!

On a warm- but dark night take a ride naked- just sayin... Oh , and don't stop anywhere. Around the block will do. Abby the good ol days!.
Portland Oregon has an annual naked bike ride that is perfectly legal. Just thought I would mention that. 😉😉
One of the New York City based scooter clubs used to do one annually, I think on New Year's Day.
A couple years ago, while mowing my lawn, I heard a sport bike coming down my road, the rider had on boots, gloves and a FF helmet, nothing else! Mind you, I live on a quiet rural road. He was up on one wheel coming down the hill, poor bastard must have lost a bet.....
Jeep people have a 'Go Topless' thing. When I first got my Jeep, about 25 years ago, I'd try to talk my wife at the time into 'topless rides' on warm evenings, she always brought a sweater along....
