Interesting. I've moved to a warmer country and it's normal here for moped riders and motor cyclists to wear a helmet with shorts and a t-shirt.

I'm used to motor cyclists wearing leathers. Bare skin in an accident looks terrifyingly abrasive.

A friend told me "there are two types of motorcyclists, the ones with a t-shirt and the ones that already crashed." This is a warm country.

Whenever I go on a group ride with someone that doesn't even have gloves on, I say I'll give them five bucks for every second they're able to lightly press their knuckles to the concrete, then rub them back and forth vigorously.

Nobody's ever managed to make it more that a second.

Less deadly than cracking your skull open though.
