A guy on a motorcycle thought to be crazy? To get right to the point who cares? Not to be coarse but people who ride, ride for freedom not for what other people think about their choice. Bikes are dangerous, loud, impractical, and a friggin blast. IMHO do what ever works for you! Now seriously if everyone tells you that you are nuts for just throwing your bags over your seat and riding would you change? I would hope not. I'll sometimes ride in a tee shirt, shorts and tennis shoes, no I don't recommend it but it's my choice to do so. By the way I'm still shopping for the best car tire to put on my bike. I might even put on chaps for that first few rides when I do. That said be safe and watch for the cagers because they're probably not watching for you.:soapbox:
