Sorry, won't happen to me. The only time I touch my bike in shorts is to wash it or move it to get the lawnmower out.
no flipflops or sneakers either, boots or work shoes with steel toes

Another couple of weeks and the work boots go back on...till then it's sand between my toes and a cold beer in my hand.....


Flip flops just keep your feet from getting burnt on hot pavement during the summer months..

Speaking from personal experience I don't see how it's possible to ride a sporty in shorts very often without ending up with scar on the inner calf.

Hmmm. A Sporty with reverse. Very interesting.

I have come very close to doing the same thing. These days I don't even try to pull my Sporty backwards up an incline. I check the incline before I pull in and that how I decide which way to park. No hot chicks though.
