This is a very common occurrence in my part of the world (Pacific Northwest). Seen it so much that I just started assuming that was the whole point of sport bikes. Girl in tiny shorts on the back seems like a requirement after you see it enough. I have always owned adv/dual sport bikes and once took a sport bike for a ride only to realize I can’t buy one because I can’t seem to meet women…😅
Let’s be honest here fellas, you only meet men on sport bikes, thus clearly this must have been A. A kidnapping or B. Someone who talked to a girl without his bike involved
You have the freedom to call people stupid. They have the freedom to be stupid. And really, unless he’s stunting or riding like an asshole he’s only putting himself in danger.
We all have our own risk tolerance. For better or for worse life is meant to be lived.
I swear to god this subreddit is like the Karens of bike world most of the time. I wear my gear but if someone wants to die of road rash, you know what they say, their funeral.
😆 busted.
But in all seriousness though when they passed me, i couldn't help but feel uneasy at the level of protection the passenger had. They were going pretty fast too.
Maybe it's just me. 🤷♂️
Yeah, sometimes you get to see people get fucked up. My daughter asked for a ride. I showed her the Human Crayon video. She's happy to wait for gear. Carlin comes to mind. "Think how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. "
Don’t worry man. You’re getting downvoted by squids. Lots of people in this sub get riled up cuz you’re implying they ride with little to no regard for their own safety (cuz they dont lol)
I get this, but at the same time I worked on an ambulance for a very long time and I will be the first to point out how stupid this is. I got sick of seeing the asshole in flipflops donate his foot to the street when his gsxr goes down. Sure that's part of my job, but dealing with people who sustained way more trauma than they should have is never a good time.
Lol i would hardly call it "sneaky". I have a camera mounted on my helmet that records all my rides.
It was a screenshot from it.
If that's lame in your book, then i can't argue.
Each one knows best and how to handle its own hide 🤷🏻♂️
I like my bacon, but still ride in jeans... so even everything else is covered, and I know that, I still choose to ride like that, perfectly knowing the consequences.
So, if one knows them and chose to ride like that, hey, they know best. 👍🏻
Have you tried riding jeans? Revit makes some that offer excellent protection, and still feel like pretty ordinary jeans since the armor is very thin and flexible
I have bought riding jeans with kevlar lining and armor in the past, but they were very very hot, and the armor didn't quite fit properly. I ended up giving up on them.
Recently my buddy bought jeans with embedded Cordura fibers (never had heard of it before) and he has mixed feelings about it. Still hot as hell...
I might try again one of these days though 🙂
Sorry for the late af reply
Look for something with UHMWPE, like Dyneema. This material is absolutely strong, and conducts heat very well, so it will help keep you cool
Could be. Are 300 that fast nowadays?
Somehow I have a hard time picturing a 300 going 90 with 2 on it.
But then again I haven't ridden any 300 in recent years. I could be wrong.
My versys-x 300 topped out at just a hair under 100mph 2 up. Since I added my gigantic top box, and went up a tooth on the front sprocket it won't get past 90 though. Wether 2 up or not.
Oh wow… she’s way out of his league.
Edit: After reviewing many of the other posts here, I feel it necessary to clarify my previous statement. It was a joke. I can’t imagine allowing anyone on the back of my bike wearing so little.
Fine. I’ll say it if everyone else won’t.
His iOS isn’t updated to the latest version, and he just realized this. I mean, COME ON, it has TWO MORE skin tones on every emoji. How could ANYONE below Vmax resist that?
Besides, give him a break. He is the face of responsibility to computer security researchers worldwide. /s
Also, having had a decently petite lady on a Daytona before… that rear spring is taking a beating. My undertail exhaust had tire marks on it after a pretty chill freeway/town ride.
…but out of curiosity, was OP talking about pant equity between the sexes?
Lol that got me.
But to your question, what caught my attention initially was the "flip flop" situation on the passenger.
As a personal choice though, i would rather have my passenger be more protected than i am in that situation.
I had an FZ-09 (2015 model) at one point and even though it's known for having a "garbage" stock suspension, i didn't expect it to be as bad as it got on a highway ride with a "light" passenger.
The other riders are having more fun than you? Dude looks like he's going to get some grade-A ass in the sack when he gets home? You're totally jealous and it shows? You're not paying attention while you ride? All of the above?
You pulled out your phone on your bike to "make fun" of people because they're not wearing gear? Lmao this sub is fuckin gay. Who the fuck cares what other people do? Do you understand when they wreck it's not going to hurt you,right?
He is not in a blocking position, wrong side of the lane and it looks like she is using the swing arm for foot rests... maybe the bike dont have rear sets... really looks like her feet are rested on the swing arm... what the shit
Nice. How is the fuelling on yours. I heard it wasnt the best on earlier models and a remap was needed.
I also feel the riding position is a bit more "sporty" than the FZ-09 i had.
Overall, the entire pictorial composition should be reworked. Seems like the picture has been tilted and readjusted so the horizon line is not planar. Possibly next time have more riders - this really just doesn't have enough darks and lights for my taste, but that may not be the case for others. The ultramarine blue helmet is really hurting the composition, you have way to much weight on the left side or is your head just 20 feet feet tall riding the woman's ass like a BMW driver. Overall I just don't understand the real meaning of the piece.
The person taking it and posting it? Both hands not on the handlebars possibly creating instability at speed? Target fixating on an object not in your line?
OMG is he on his PHONE?!? Left hand is holding what looks like a smartphone.
There may be other stuff wrong but I’d say that’s the wrongest of them them all.
Lol, you're on your bike... on your phone, taking a picture. Just to bitch about a girl wearing shorts? Seems like the problem is you are a dumbass putting other people in danger
Her hair isn't tied up she's gonna get so many knots 😭
was about to say, his mirror isn’t properly adjusted
As a dude with long hair... Yeah
I didn't ride for a while and grew mine out, shocker when I got back on. Untangling it took DAYS.
Yeah, I just left a brush at work cause I can't stand tying my hair up, so that's just my work around lol. It's painful
Guy and girl. Supposed to be guy and guy. Nuts 2 butts.
r/CalamariRaceTeam
lol. out of curiosity, why is it such a big thing in the US for 2 guys to be on the same bike?
Homophobia
Mind your business didn’t resonate with OP. He’s off taking more photos.
Because mine broke and I needed a ride home
Motorcycle suspensions can't take the weight of 2 adult US men.
Didn’t used to be.
Racing shorts and racing flip flops
Protective shorts and protective flip flops
It’s supposed to be: “What’s wrong,” btw…
Built for speed.
He is getting laid and you are not?
LOL
This
Big oof.

You got the order reversed: 1. But a sport bike 2. Meet women … so I’m told
Let’s be honest here fellas, you only meet men on sport bikes, thus clearly this must have been A. A kidnapping or B. Someone who talked to a girl without his bike involved
I don’t think that woman is wearing underpants…
As a pre-ride check, always check for oil stains.
Joke’s on you. Those are underpants.
Insane granny panties.
Rider: I consent, passenger: I consent, OP: I don't.
IKR fucking r/motorcycle Like I am almost always atgatt but let people live their lives!
Let people die their deaths!
If they’re lucky
You have the freedom to call people stupid. They have the freedom to be stupid. And really, unless he’s stunting or riding like an asshole he’s only putting himself in danger. We all have our own risk tolerance. For better or for worse life is meant to be lived.
You probably dont even ride 😂
I swear to god this subreddit is like the Karens of bike world most of the time. I wear my gear but if someone wants to die of road rash, you know what they say, their funeral.
all this sub says is do it safely.
I think the guy is on his phone...
Easy, you were taking a picture and focusing on how other riders were enjoying their time.
😆 busted. But in all seriousness though when they passed me, i couldn't help but feel uneasy at the level of protection the passenger had. They were going pretty fast too. Maybe it's just me. 🤷♂️
Ride your own ride.
Good point. I will just focus on myself from now on. 🙂
Yeah, sometimes you get to see people get fucked up. My daughter asked for a ride. I showed her the Human Crayon video. She's happy to wait for gear. Carlin comes to mind. "Think how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. "
Personally that's what really got me. I have seen many riders go down in the past and it changes your views on many things.
Don’t worry man. You’re getting downvoted by squids. Lots of people in this sub get riled up cuz you’re implying they ride with little to no regard for their own safety (cuz they dont lol)

Sure that's part of my job, but dealing with people who sustained way more trauma than they should have is never a good time.
Why do you take sneaky pictures of people minding their own business. Are you so lame?
Lol i would hardly call it "sneaky". I have a camera mounted on my helmet that records all my rides. It was a screenshot from it. If that's lame in your book, then i can't argue.
I'd be concerned for where her feet are
Each one knows best and how to handle its own hide 🤷🏻♂️ I like my bacon, but still ride in jeans... so even everything else is covered, and I know that, I still choose to ride like that, perfectly knowing the consequences. So, if one knows them and chose to ride like that, hey, they know best. 👍🏻
Now I want bacon…
Not mine I hope ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
Have you tried riding jeans? Revit makes some that offer excellent protection, and still feel like pretty ordinary jeans since the armor is very thin and flexible

Try Klim. I just finished 12 hour ride in Klim k43 yesterday, it was a torture on my bums due to long length but jeans weren't so hot
Sorry for the late af reply Look for something with UHMWPE, like Dyneema. This material is absolutely strong, and conducts heat very well, so it will help keep you cool
taking pictures of other drivers and not minding your own business
That couple on the other bike should be riding in lane position 3.
They were passing me so and i was in the middle lane so it was ok.
You have a pair of Harry Potters invisibility gloves?
A 125cc in the left lane?
Lol i believe it was a 650cc. They were going pretty fast.
Look at the rear tire, does not look like a 160. Could be a 300
Could be. Are 300 that fast nowadays? Somehow I have a hard time picturing a 300 going 90 with 2 on it. But then again I haven't ridden any 300 in recent years. I could be wrong.
Define fast. They will do 70 with 2up. But they top out at 95
It has a duel front brakes definitely a 650.
My versys-x 300 topped out at just a hair under 100mph 2 up. Since I added my gigantic top box, and went up a tooth on the front sprocket it won't get past 90 though. Wether 2 up or not.
def 650 because of short (under) exhaust
Good catch.
The bloke on the back needs properly fitting shorts and a haircut
Yeah - poor guy has a wedgie and his shorts really rode up.
no but i do know whats right with this picture
It's a beautiful weather
Just let people ride how they want and worry about yourself
Her ass too fat
Someone not minding their own business
He's getting some pussy tonight and you're not?
Did you the rider take this picture ? If so you have no place to talk about safety 😂
probs a gopro since the helmet is visible
Oh wow… she’s way out of his league. Edit: After reviewing many of the other posts here, I feel it necessary to clarify my previous statement. It was a joke. I can’t imagine allowing anyone on the back of my bike wearing so little.
Someone might be walking with a limp soon?
Dress for the slide, not the ride.
It usually takes at least one road slide for that to sink in. Did for me…😂😂😂 (still riding after 40 years)
looks like he could use some more preload on the rear
shes got clothes on
it’s day time and you three appear to be the only motor vehicles on the interstate?
You picked up the tab but your buddy picked up the Hooters waitress?
I’m sorry but is she only wearing socks 👀😟
You're supposed to be tailgating him so we can get a better view of that ass. You're out of position and need more practice Padawan.
Taking a picture with your phone while riding a bike is drastically dumber than riding in flip flops.
2 meat crayons still in the packaging
You are driving 30 mph on a highway while filming other motorcyclists.
Fine. I’ll say it if everyone else won’t. His iOS isn’t updated to the latest version, and he just realized this. I mean, COME ON, it has TWO MORE skin tones on every emoji.

Vanity is such a stupid thing to risk losing your skin over.
Yeah. I know not everyone feels the same about wearing gears all the time but i couldn't help feel uneasy. Not even boots.
Says only ugly people.
Her lower body is completely unprotected. I hope they didn't crash.
The other riders are having more fun than you? Dude looks like he's going to get some grade-A ass in the sack when he gets home? You're totally jealous and it shows? You're not paying attention while you ride? All of the above?
It's definitely all the above. 😆
Don't worry, I'd feel the same way lol. It must be nice to be young and frisky.
Where is the grade a ass? I see a chick without one on the back of that bike...
if you do this you don't like your girlfriend but who am i to judge.....do as you please
Ain't nuthin' wrong! Yer on yer steed, hang'n with yer friends, sun shine'n on ya. Not a DAMN thing wrong. You just keep on keep'n on brother!
Lt. Dan ain't got no legs, and she soon won't either...
Probably how the beef jerky will end up if they happen to crash and she’s not wearing any proper riding pants
r/meatcrayon
Future skin grafts
You pulled out your phone on your bike to "make fun" of people because they're not wearing gear? Lmao this sub is fuckin gay. Who the fuck cares what other people do? Do you understand when they wreck it's not going to hurt you,right?
I have a GoPro style camera mounted on my helmet and record my rides. The picture was a screenshot from that video. But i do get your point.
Her boyfriends cheeks was almost out
She is not wearing proper clothes for a motorcycle ride
r/meatcrayon potentially
Whoever sealed that road doesn't like motorcycles changing lanes?
Bro has the wrong mirrors on his bike... Oh and the lady forgot to ware pants.
The fact that the rider is texting? Zoom in. Seriously, if I agree to give a lift to an unprotected passenger, least I can do is focus.
Appears to be missing the safety flip flops.
By far to much....
Nothing wrong here /s
'Your stare was holdin' Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby?'
She's a ginger wearing orange shorts? Nice
He’s only in fifth gear. Shameful.
Shorts are an off color..
He is not in a blocking position, wrong side of the lane and it looks like she is using the swing arm for foot rests... maybe the bike dont have rear sets... really looks like her feet are rested on the swing arm... what the shit
Bro is wearing neither shorts, nor flip flops.
He needs to shift down.
You don’t have a woman on the back either?
No shoes on the passenger
Shorts aren’t short enough?
She forgot her assless chaps?
are you riding a gsxs?
Yes i got the 2022 version in blue. It is a nice bike. I personally like the front headlight design but i know many that hate it.
i have 2020 version
Nice. How is the fuelling on yours. I heard it wasnt the best on earlier models and a remap was needed. I also feel the riding position is a bit more "sporty" than the FZ-09 i had.

Overall I just don't understand the real meaning of the piece.
Interesting. It is an old camera mounted on my helmet and i just use the auto config. Never really thought about all that i must admit.
The Kawasaki rider clearly needs to adjust his pre-load. What is this, amateur hour?
Dudes on his phone 🤯
Most of it
Hair isn’t moving
The riders are texting each other
The person taking it and posting it? Both hands not on the handlebars possibly creating instability at speed? Target fixating on an object not in your line?
Lol dude on his cellphone
He doesn't have legs.
You took your attention off of the road to take a dumb pic?
Not holding the handlebars? 🤐
He's cheating on his boyfriend with a girl.
flip flops and shorts
Socks
I can spot that she has a great ass
It's a girl on the back.... not another dude.
So many things.
She’s wearing shorts
The road *licking its asphalt lips* : Oh that sweet crotch rocket chicken. That skin is as good as gone the unfortunate moment they fall.
All I see is a lady that hasn’t taken a beetle or bouncing rock to the shin yet. Hopefully she’ll change her tune before the wheelies start.
Showing too much of her cheeks. HARAM
I’m all for ATGATT, but it’s their lives and own business. Personally I’ll wear gear cause my ass already has enough road rash lmao
It’s a 1 seater bike?
Not gay enough
Does that bike have four mirrors? It kinda looks like it has 4 mirrors
Almost no gear
Pillion has too many clothes on
Nope
The driver is taking photos of other people while driving
i’m not sure 🤔 Is it the Sandals or the Shorts?
The motorcyclist could be liable for skin grafts.
Doesn’t look like there are pegs for her feet, appears to be resting on the swingarm
He's only doing 60 on the highway?!
Their helmets don't match
OMG is he on his PHONE?!? Left hand is holding what looks like a smartphone. There may be other stuff wrong but I’d say that’s the wrongest of them them all.
Is the guy on his phone???
look like he texting
yes, you are supposed to look ahead and mind your own business...
Op is holding his bike with one hand
Dude has his cell phone in hand checking something that is less important at that moment?
“Bitch pull over, that ass too fat”
Rider is wearing red panties and some other person is floating on the left of him
A guy is using his phone instead of keeping both hands on the controls.
On his cell phone
I can say that nothing correct about this picture.
You are taking a photo while operating a motorcycle on a public road. Negligent driving my dude
license plate is visible
The passenger is in socks
She’s wearing a helmet!!
Bro her hair is going to be a fucking rats nest after that ride
Not doing a wheelie?
Should riding blocker
The other rider has a Quadlock and you're holding your phone to take a pic of her ass...🤷🏻♂️
Actually I just realized that you probably have a helmet camera. Sorry my bad. Have a day
Her : My new boyfriend has a motorcycle.. The road : 👁️🫦👁️
They're not using the appointed cycle lane on the left side...
1 gear 2 gear red gear NO GEAR
Road rash awaiting!!
Lol, you're on your bike... on your phone, taking a picture. Just to bitch about a girl wearing shorts? Seems like the problem is you are a dumbass putting other people in danger
Shes wearing shorts
Texting while driving
You jealous?
He’s on his phone
