"The best riding outfit we found, the best combination, was the Corona tank top, cutoff jean shorts, white sneakers and a backwards-facing ball cap."

Well, I'll certianly be changing my riding habits. How could we have overlooked something this obvious?  ;D ;D

Well I've known that certain clothing has in-built magical powers for quite awhile men, for instance, when I wear my cams and combat boots into my local Kebab restaurant none of the regulars there will look me in the eye, and the joint empties pretty quickly for some reason?

Also I've noticed that if I wear my "Show me yer tits" T shirt to my mother-in-laws place on Christmas Day (the only day my wife can get me near her family) all the women-folk seem, er, "subdued"? Anyone got a spare Corona T shirt? (XXXL) I'm a believer! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Some sort of satire copyright in the small print boys...Love the experts, the scientists, the analyists, the know-alls.

The article reads well.

The experts in this country say we have the highest rate of campylobactor food poisoning in the world from eating chicken.

Get this, they want to take fresh chicken off the market, because people don't know how to prepare and cook it properly. Is the world going mad??    YES!

Does it count if the Corona is just on your shirt? As in spilled, or dribbled, when you tried to drink it before you get on your bike? Not that I would do that. The seat on my bike ain't no bar stool.

Not to get back on the thread, but.....
last major accident back in the homeland
I was wearing a dress shirt and dress pants.
Result was after flying at 70mph and somehow
landing, all I had to do was pull some minor rocks out of my
18 year old butt. Mabe I should have had a beer shirt,
but was too young to drink.

I'm not getting into another debate on beer Terence - the best beer is the one you like.

Hey you don't have to eat the leathers mate, and anyway, what about those poor little denims, living in fear of being "harvested" for their beautiful blue fur eh? Eh? What a hypocrite!

Ha ha, just joshing mate, hey, when you say you're a "Veggie", you do mean that you don't eat meat, right? I'd feel really bad if you meant that you've got brain damage, or something?  ;D

Do you abstain from all animal products, or just meat? 

Cheese made with animal rennet, or foods made with gelatin?  Not trying to pick on you, though.  I just like a good discussion! :)

If your talking animal products/by-products don't forget whey (its in foods you wouldn't think), nasty stuff when your allergic to milk :-X

I like my leather jacket but it seems to have shrunk hanging in the closet for 15 years. ;D

I'm not talking about products that come from live animals like milk.  Gelatin and rennet come from dead animals, and while they aren't muscle or fat and aren't called meat, they still require the animal to be slaughtered to get them. 

Again, I'm not trying to start a veggie vs. carnivore war here, I just like a good discussion and like to find out people's motivations for the choices they make. 

Incidentally, I eat meat.  Almost every day.

   Yea most animal products but cheese no cus soymilk taste good soycheese taste like S%!T.
Alot of rennets or rennin are enzymes taken from vegtables, Kraft uses vegetable rennin.
Nothing is wrong with eating meat I would not argue that, it's natural. I just dont agree
with the treatment involved. I have often told my wife if we lived off the land I would bow
hunt are dinner.
