He locked his knee while trying to kickstart his Harley with flip flops on. The kicker went through his foot ripping the flesh between his Metatarsals (the bones connecting to his toes). He was a hellava nice guy, & even he admitted it wasn't his brightest moment. Since then, I've always worn boots when riding.

I think you need something a sturdier than flip flops, like crocs maybe.

Talking

Rode down toward Hickory, NC last week and I saw a guy wearing flip-flops
and shorts. He was riding an older model Low Rider. When he got off the bike, I
nearly fell off mine. This guy was wearing a Superman T-shirt. I figured it must
be his day off or something.
Either that or he was a Superman wannabe!!

That's like wearing a huge billboard that says "Look at How Stupid I Am" and "Watch What Happens Next"
