Observation of the day

Ok so why don't motorbike riders here wear any protective clothing.  I saw at least 10 riders today in nothing but sneakers and shorts! I would just cringe every time one would drive by and think about how much it would hurt if they had a stack.  Holy cow, imagine the gravel rash.  Also on that note, the motorcyclists here are very skilled and can text and ride one handed - imagine that!  Oh the skill that must take to not nearly fall off or run into something.  Hell, I have to actually stop, sit down and clear my mind of all other nonsense before I can text - I can't imagine throwing the added pressure of riding a motorbike at the same time into the mix.  I can feel the gravel rash as I type. xxxx
