The northeast has been sweltering this summer and I was wondering if you any of you ride in shorts? I was very tempted this past weekend (98 degrees here in NJ), but I Just couldn't do it...its just not right to me.

If I am just messing around town, I have no problem with it, after all, it is like 100+ with matching humidity and dew point levels down here so all the air flow you can get is nice! Wouldn't do it out on the open road though, but that is just personally for protection purposes.
As for the "real bikers will laugh at you", what is the definition of a "real biker?" Personally, if you own a bike, enjoy the ride and the freedom, then you are a real biker. I personally don't care what you wear or even if you put a windshield on your Dog.
(you know that will stir things up )
Don't be afraid of what other people think of you, it is your bike and your life, do with it what YOU want to and be thankful you have that opportunity?

Yep, shorts here too...got the healing burn mark right below my right calf. And don't forget the occasional bee up the shorts stinging your ass!

Yep, shorts all day Saturday at Carlisle Bike Fest. Was to hot to throw jeans on. As for the burn, I have the mark from 3 weeks ago. A new trick, I cut an old brown cotton sock about 3"(no nylon) and slid it up over my usual burn area. Works great for those occasional brush ups setting at a light.. My buddies laughed last week, this week, two others were sporting the sock, May not look cool to the REAL bikers, but it worked and we were much more comfortable all day riding and walking in shorts. Might have to invent the muffler sock with a Big Dog Biker emblem on it, then sit back and watch the money roll in.
