Kimmy, don't disown me, cause I always wear my boots, and jeans, (chaps if its below 55°) but I do ride in T-shirts quite often. No gloves, unless its really cold. I wouldn't dream of riding in flip-flops, and most likely not in tennis shoes, but that's mostly cause I don't like wearing tennis shoes anyway.
Helmet - well, when I was in Kentucky, I did ride through the campground without my helmet, but otherwise, I wore it. I'm still skeered to ride without one. But maybe next time I get across the border, I'll try it, just to see what it feels like.
If I see full gear around here, they are on a squid, or possibly a full dresser, but alot of them wear t-shirts and shorts too. And I've seen girls on the back of a squid in next to nothing.... thinkin' they must be friggin nuts!
Oh, and speedo's are definitely OUT! Please guys, if any of you own one (or god forbid, more than one), THROW THEM AWAY!
AJ, I can tell the difference in a man wearing chaps... its all in the walk.

Nice sunburn John! And nice of us to let us rib you! My shoulders got pink a couple weekends ago, and now they are peeling. I usually don't peel and don't mind to get a little pink, but I hate the peeling part. I bet your nose looked nice when it peeled....
