yeah i ride in shorts sometimes,but its to the store or school which is around the block. i wont go and ride the expressway in shorts thats crazy, but my ankles do get hot sometimes with pants on to. its just some of you get all crazed out when people say they dont wear a helmet,jacket,gloves,boots, i mean shit its up to the rider and what they feel like, not because they are a so called squid. if it is just for a cruise and your not out stunting and shit go ahead,its your risk. i have ridden without a helmet to cruise through town even though i end up putting it on cause my eyes get all fucked up. i do go out for rides w/o my jacket to, in south texas its hot,humid and there is no breeze to cool you down. im not saying its safe but you can get fucked up to with full gear on to. i am just saying take it easy,just cause someone says they didnt wear gloves or a jacket,helmet,specific riding pants,boots,or full leathers you dont have to get all gear patrol,and bust everyones ass.[}
