I've never claimed that wearing gear was a bad thing, I never claimed it wasn't the smart or right thing to do. I am merely saying that I should be able to wear or not wear whatever gear I choose without being judged by anyone else.
Some of you smoke,I don't,should I follow you around calling you an idiot every time you light up?
Some of you drink,I don't,heck,some of you have even admitted to having a couple beers during bike rides,does this give me the right to call you names?
Some of you smoke pot,I don't,I guess I'm allowed to judge your life even tho' you're not affecting me directly.
I just don't understand why some people on this forum are so angry when see or hear of someone not wearing what they have decided is "proper gear".
Oh and will at least one person address my question as to why only the guys on sportbikes are squids when they don't wear full gear but guys on cruisers, choppers,scooters,etc get a pass? I would appreciate even one intelligent,rational explanation of this concept.

I, for one, consider
anyone who's not wearing a minimum of gear a squid. Makes no difference if they're riding a sport bike, classic, cruiser or flat board scooter.
I'm wondering what line of thought they had when they get on a two wheeled vehicle wearing shorts, tank tops and low shoes/canvas sneakers.
