Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

As I was watching the above video, I was thinking motorcycle fashion is very behind function. Id rather be functional than fashionable when on a bike. That said, I also dont want to be wearing a pink jacket on my yellow bike..

 

I wear crocs now. Fashion is long gone for me.

 

On the bike?? I wear them too, and they are pretty comfy. My fiancee cant say anything, because she wears Uggs

 

Nope, just in general. I would look silly wearing crocs on the grom.

 

fashion is long gone...

 

That was a joke I look silly on the grom no matter what.

 

My fiance won't buy me crocs. I should tell her that they'd be safer than my safety sandals from this summer, drop 'em into 4x4 mode and they'll at least stay on my feet.

 

I became a Croc convert last year. I’m on my second pair and I don’t think I’ve gone a day without wearing them at least around the house or to take the trash out. I’ve welded in them and worked on my truck in them. I have the bistros- they don’t have the holes in them and they have a lip at the heel that keeps them on your foot without using the strap.
I swore I’d never get some but they’re so damn useful, I had to get them.
FYI: if you leave them in direct sun at the campsite during summer, they’ll shrink a full size.

 

I'll probably pick some up for the summer. I had a nice pair of birkenstocks for years that finally broke last Spring, which I then replaced with a $30 pair off Amazon that are completely toast after this summer (see: safety sandals), I'm thinking a pair of crocs are going to be next, I keep threatening to buy some. I think as long as I don't put any "jibbitz" on them she won't call off the engagement.

And the shrinking part is a pro-tip, I had no idea they'd do that

 

Well, that escalated quickly, I just ordered a pair of the "specialist II vent clogs". Look like the bistro but with the side vents open instead of closed.

I'm not telling the fiance and am just going to start wearing them when they get here and see how long it takes her to notice

 

I bought some for my fiance for xmas, but she hated them so much, she made me return them. I failed on that part. She will not convert

 

Going with the ugliest ones right out the gate.

 

I dig the look of these headlights.

 

I want one bad! Might have to check that one out!

 

Now that's my kind of wheelie!

 

This thread has certainly taken a sharp downhill turn.....Crocs? Really?

Back to the MC related info, the Buell cold weather gear I bought back in 1996 is still what I wear for cold weather riding regardless of what bike I'm on. Not quite as waterproof as when it was new and I've had to get a seamstress friend to make some repairs to the jacket but ti's still the warmest stuff I've ever owned. I've managed to add just short of 500 miles to the FJR just since January 1.

 

lol yea i prefer an old fashion flip flop over the croc myself...

 

Not my cup 'o tea, but that's the beauty of it all!

Reminds me of the motorcycle from Bad Chad Customs on Discovery Channel.
