One of our local riders!
He is about 6'5" and around 500 pounds. He actually broke the frame of his K1200LT.
He wears leather overalls often, though I doubt flip-flops.

Easy west coast boy ... I wear overalls and a T-shirt on a daily basis when off duty - and most of the locals around here do too. It's practical apparel for the South. Dont criticize what you dont have personal experience with ... and a wife beater is a white TANK TOP undershirt - not a T-shirt with sleeves.
Overalls at appropriate work - scroll to post #10

The little fella behind him looks like he's thinking,"Damn, is he gonna take all the gravy?"

Thanks for straightening him out Dude....I wear em about every day in the cool weather......
RE: the large dude, it takes a huge amount of dedication, practice and behavior modification to amass that much weight, think of how well he has to balance himself to get that mass moving in the right direction or stop on a dime....only problem is he only has one heart, if he weighs twice his normal weight, he'll live half as long....but at least he'll be happy, most guys that size have a good outlook on life no matter how short it is....

It's okay....
Hey Instereo,
Chill man, nobody's pointing a finger....we just wanted to help you with the nomenclature on the guys outfit. I think more about the "wife beater" thing which, in this neck of the woods anyway, is what we call either a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off or a "tank top" which has skinny little straps and exposes the upper arms and shoulders.
I think your comment on that just rang a few bells on the board and we wouldn't want you to be embarrassed by using the wrong description....
Down here in Flawda, tons of people wear flip flops with bibbs, although you won't find a redneck doing that, us hippies do....and even some harley riders wear them for protection against hot footpegs as well. I am surprised though, that he wasn't wearing Crocks.....the guy's a bit behind the fashion curve.....lol...
Take er easy...

I wear insulated black Dickies bibs for riding in the winter. I got them a couple sizes too big so I can wear them over jeans. The nice thing is, you don't get wind up your back under the jacket. I also scotch-guarded the HELL out of the legs so they're almost waterproof.

Great Idea Sweat, never thought of waterproofing the legs....now where the hell did I leave that can of scotch-guard?
When you're castrating baby pigs, they slobber all over your lower legs....if you've never castrated pigs, you grab the hind feet, trap the head between your knees and stretch em out so the guy with the Gillette razor blade can pop the testicles outta there.....pig slobber is tough to get out of bibbs...(or so my wife says)

Flip flops not good for bike flops
Flip flops, yeah, I learned that one the hard way.
21st birthday (young & dumb), stationed in Hawaii, partying all day, friend and I heading to Waikiki, lost it on an exit ramp doing 95 mph, tore a big chunk of meat out of my left ankle and sliced my right foot open undoing 3 tendons to my smaller toes, turned my brand new GS550 into a pretzel, thank God friend was smart enough to eject early enough to walk away with only a skinned up tailbone, I'd have felt really shitty about hurting someone else, but hey, I was wearing my helmet! :screwy:

Start'in to sound like the "view". He's obviously enjoying life, don't be hat'in.
I wear flip-flops when I jump on the bike to make a quick run for something. I'm not going to go change just to go for a quick run.
I don't feel any "pain" shifting bare footed? People ride without helmets (me included), So if I split my foot open, I'm a D.F., but it's ok to split my skull?
Thank God we're all a little different, to bad some just can't accept it.
Many think your a D.F. if you wear a T-shirt instead of a padded leather jacket. Oh well.

I hear shit like that from the 600 sportbike riders around here. First bike, 300 miles of experience, MSF course and they brag they went 150 on the way over.
uhhhh.. WTF?
