January 3, 201511 yr A1Str8 is right. I'd agree it's really stupid to do it on the highway and no shirt is not acceptable at that age - but ATGATT is not realistic unless people here seriously don the full leathers every time they get on a bike as they proclaim here on TV. Back in the late 80's I'd regularly ride a BMX/skateboard (Diamond Back Viper/ Powell Peralta "Lance Mountain" for any similar minded/aged folks ) downhill on public roads, on vert ramps etc. wearing a pair of board shorts, a pair of worn out Vans held together with Duct tape and not much else. Much faster and MUCH more recklessly than the average Thai riding through the soi to 7-11. Big group of us did it for years, we all survived. If I'm popping out for noodles in the soi, I wear whatever I'm wearing and any old helmet. A trip on a big bike, I wear leathers, full face etc. I bet we could all be made to look a bit silly by an ill timed Google maps shot. That's why they cover up the faces! JohnnyF, I rode Tony Alva wheels (pink and green opposing corners) on Independent 7 inch trucks. Way too fast, Way to stupid. I got all the scars, dodgy ankles to prove it. ...the only thing embarrassing about the guy on the bike is that he's pillion. Never, ever let a Thai girl drive a bike...unless you are drunk and she's not. NO other valid excuses. ...and if I had a body like that, I'd be covering up for sheer decency. Can't help stupid.
