Why do some motorbike riders / bikers not wear the proper gear???? I know it's currently boiling where I am, but if you want to use your motorbike you kind of just have to accept the fact that you're going to boil in your gear - especially if you're on the motorway or an A road! I'm saying this because I saw someone on a motorbike, on an A road, not wearing all of the gear. They had the helmet and I couldn't tell whether or not they had the gloves, but other than that - no motorbike gear!! A short sleeved shirt, shorts and either little trainers or something similar! AND they decided that they wanted to ride too close to the car in front of them. There wasn't an accident, but like??? You either wear the gear or you dont ride the bike???? Cause if an accident does happen and you aren't wearing the gear, you are going to lose skin!! At the speeds that motorbikes go, you'll literally skin yourself if you send yourself skidding along the road without any kind of protective motorbike gear on!!
