999R
I saw a lovely 999R last night, very beautiful and worth the price tag.

Just a shame the rider was wearing no gloves or protection and trainers

What's wrong with that?

He might just be pootling down to the shops, or still running it in, or taking it for a service, or any other number of reasons why he/she didn't need to be wearing full on kit. They may even have just had it all stolen!

As motorcyclists we all know that we're vulnerable and that we have to make our own choice in the kit that we wear.

Some people's ideals are different to others, but it doesn't necessarily mean that one person is right and another is wrong.

No flame, just pointing out that it's all down to personal choice. I've ridden my bike loads of times in jeans and trainers, with no back protector, etc. I know the risks and for just nipping down the shops it wasn't a problem.

The guy wasnt going to the shops dude, he rode from about 10 miles and it was night time .. was a little chilly too.

Anyway everyone to their own, Leathers saved my skin big time, so i know id rather have some protection than. But its upto him!

The way he was riding by the way, wasnt as if he cared anyway and he had massive chicken strips ...

no excuse for not getting protected though .. boots, jacket n gloves a minimum ...
