Okay, of course I'm going to take the opposing view for the sake of argument...

These sandals are not being marketed to sport bike riders. Hell, they're not even being marketed to ANYONE living in this country. They are being marketed to people in countries riding bikes barely larger than mopeds in 100+ degree heat with 90% humidity. If I was riding a Honda 125cc, 3 speed around New Delhi, sitting in traffic and doing maybe 20mph when I did move, these babies would be the cat's ass!!! When they start selling them in the Parts Unlimited catalog, I'll join you in "righteous indignation" but until then, who cares?

Check this dude out:
No eye protection, no riding sandals, no overpants and no jacket on a 2bullpower ride.

WHAT A SQUID!
