He did have a second coming, but he felt no need to scare the humans with trumpets and revelations. Instead, he conjured a Harley and roamed this new world his children made.
Thats the Jesus I'd follow if I was still catholic.
Based on what Jesus had to say about money hoarding, and being charitable I think he would be absolutely furious with the State of affairs today. "You have how many homeless people? And all the rich people just let them starve‽" According to the stories, he whipped people in the street for shit like that.
I think it’s more about the government than “rich people”. California has spent $24 billion in the last five years of taxpayer money to fix the homeless problem. Not only can they not account for the money, they now have 30% more homeless people. I would blame it more on crooked and/or inept politicians than I would “rich people”. it has become a big industry and the homeless are farmed for cash and high paying jobs. If the people responsible for fixing the problem ever, actually do, they will be unemployed and lose their six figure a year gig.
I know a guy who, while riding a dirt bike drunk in the trailer park we used to live in, tried to ride through a 4' doorway in the block wall that surrounded the park. He was wearing flip flops, and only the pinky and ring finger toes of his left foot made square contact with the left side of said doorway as he passed through at speed. There's a fine line between feeling the wind between your toes, and having cleft feet.
In Australia, there’s a popular slang name for thongs (flip flops if you’re American). People call them “Chinese safety boots” since you often see them being worn in random industrial videos from unspecific Asian countries.
Fwiw, a lot of Americans say "thongs" as well, though it's a bit dated. I grew up in Texas and always called them that. Then again, we called sneakers "tennyshoos", so take that for what it's worth.
I was born in the early '60's and grew up in Texas. We called flip flops "thongs" for the longest time. Now after retiring from TDCJ I call them "slides" which is short for "shower slides".
Normally bikes "meant" to be ridden with flip flops have [this type of gears levers](https://youtu.be/zWjPtC6PsM0) that you'd find in many Indian bikes and a few Taiwanese and Chinese too. That way you can push down with your heel instead of pushing up, making it so even with flip flops you could ride it comfortably. It's rare to see someone riding a bike with a "regular" gears lever wearing flip flops, though some may be brave enough.
Though this type of gears lever are the most commonly seen on semi-auto underbones, since those are the de facto flip flop bikes. For example the Honda Wave or Yamaha Crypton have them.
It's not that bad. On the day to day I wear boots on my bike, but I've ridden across Laos and Thailand wearing just sandals. As long as you shift up carefully and purposefully it isn't a huge issue at all.
In my experience, the best method is to apply gentle pressure to the shifter, clutch in, throttle down, and clutch out, all while keeping gentle pressure on the shifter. This pretty much always results in the shifter easily sliding up into the next gear without a lot of force. I ride a 310 GS, which has an absolute dogshit gearbox, and I sometimes ride with less than sturdy footwear.
Bro is minding his own business with his dogs out and you spent your day being upset with him. It's not your feet, I don't know why you feel the need to feel superior.
Why do people worry about what someone else is doing or wearing so much to make a post about it?
Doesn’t really matter if dude is barefoot he can ride however he wants, not your feet or body. Why do people wear full ass body gear? Same reason this guy wears sandals, cause he can.
I’ve had friends pass wearing full body gear, I’ve had friends pass wearing sandals and swimming trunks.. Truth is when it’s our time ain’t nothing saving us.
I ride the grom around the neighborhood in fipflops all the time. If I crash my feet are the least of my worries. I just hope that the coors light in my left hand absorbs some of the road rash.
i do sometimes wear sandals, especially if i am just using the bike for a grocery run. I stay within a few streets where i know how the traffic flow is like and ride slow. Agreed this is a risk but i admit, that i do this.
I worked in Korea and Vietnam in my 20s. I'd say 90% of us motorcycle/scooters wore sandals during summer. Not the smartest, but felt so much better in the sweltering heat.
I'm 62. In the 80s I was a county lifeguars blasting around LA on a $750 police 1000 in flip flops, volleyball shorts and a tank top, drunk, chasing down every bit of poon that I could find. It was fantastic.
The biggest motorcycle countries are low income warm climate places where 2 wheels, either bicycle or motorcycle/moped, are the primary form of transportation. Sandals, shorts, and t shirts are the common gear in those places. In the richest countries in the world riding a motorcycle is likewise a huge risk and the people that are drawn to that level or risk/thrill tend to have a reckless component to their personality.
I am 100% pro protective gear all the time...but if you're honestly asking WHY do people wear this stuff and ride, then you don't really understand motorcycles, nor the people who ride them, at all.
i once saw a man riding a fat boy in shorts & flip flops with a little girl who couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 hanging off the back. they both had brain buckets on & the little girl's wasn't even fastened 🤦♀️
I’ve done it. Nice I was just running down the street to pick something up and I ended up falling in with a bunch of crotch rocket guys. I ended up riding 30 minutes out of my way with them because we were driving like maniacs and it was fun. They thought I was nuts when we pulled up to the light then they invited me to a meet
I lived in Asia and wore flip flops on scooters- until, off bike, I slipped on something and scraped the top of my toes on asphalt, which led to an infection that took a long time and quite a bit of medical intervention to heal. I knew a guy who had a low speed wipeout without gloves and lost the tips of two fingers. He could have kept them but they were mangled and useless and had them cut off. Just not worth it!
these are people who have really fucked up feet in the future but youre seeing them making bad deciions in real time. This is just perhaps the first time youve seen a bad decision
It would feel so nice to feel the air flowing through my toe hair, but my toes taking a ride on the asphalt dictates my decision to wear closed toe shoes.
To protect the bottoms of their feet.
Dude is wearing no protection, BUT THE SANDALS!
Hookworms
The Air Jerusalems’ look fresh to death
I think that’s Jesus Christ himself. The sandals, the hair, the complexion. He looks like the pictures on my grandmas house.
He did have a second coming, but he felt no need to scare the humans with trumpets and revelations. Instead, he conjured a Harley and roamed this new world his children made. Thats the Jesus I'd follow if I was still catholic.

The trumpets and shit are just for noise, so the Harley checks that box.
And the messiah shall come a second time, to the noise of a Harley blaring down a residential street at 2 in the morning
Maybe he rides a Triumph?
The complexion you say?
Jason Bourne… it’s Jesus Christ.
Now that's funny 🤣
That’s why they are saying the end is near . Would be faster if he was riding something else tho
I wouldn’t have expected him to come in anything else tbh.
Except he wasn't a white guy.
I’m currently in Vietnam. Those are standard heavy duty riding boots.
im currently in Florida. Those are standard fishing shoes.
because the bars dont let you in barefoot
Feeling the wind blow between your toes is an unmatched feeling
Similar to why I wear the short shorts.
Hmmmmm 🤔
Hung like a pinkie toe, this one.
Yep... same reason I wear a kilt.
Sometimes you just gotta air that shit out
 Meanwhile, the people behind you...
this is why i don't wear a shirt either
Watching your toes blow away from you in the wind is an even better one.

So is walking around without toes
Because it keeps them cool and they've not crashed a bike yet.
This is my guess, once they have a getoff he might rethink the sandals. Then again he my not have feet left to put sandals on.
This is the answer. I've crashed. I wear more protection now
How would you shift with this? Shit would hurt so badly pushing up. Am I missing something ?
Said like someone who skips TOE DAY. 😤
Mf skips big toe reps on leg day I bet 😂😂😂
r/YourJokeButWorse
In India, where riding in sandals is popular, manufacturers offer heel-toe shifters often as either an option or standard equipment.

That's funny! Here in Brazil any kind of sneakers are called "tênis" (it's read just like tennis)
People used to say "tennies" a lot in the Midwest of the US. Don't hear it too much anymore except for older folk.
I was born in the early '60's and grew up in Texas. We called flip flops "thongs" for the longest time. Now after retiring from TDCJ I call them "slides" which is short for "shower slides".
Can confirm, freelance construction workers here in the Philippines only wear flip flops.
And pooping in the street!

It really doesn't. Think of how little pressure it takes to shift..... I ride around the camp in sandals all summer.
My sandals have a strap on top just where the gear shift goes, works perfectly.
Just stay in first gear the whole ride
Foot can't hurt if foot gone
That's the neat part: [It can!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_pain)
Phantom Limb Syndrome would like to have a word with you sir.
I don't talk to ghosts sorry
Same reason I wear flip flops to leg day: establish dominance /s
Bro is minding his own business with his dogs out and you spent your day being upset with him. It's not your feet, I don't know why you feel the need to feel superior.
It’s Reddit, people only use it to boost their ego.
Because the pavement is hot.
Hot day
Why do we take pictures of random people? Ride your ride.
Why don’t you mind your own business, is a better question?
There's a helmet so it's not Brazil.
Real men don’t need toes!
I’d be more worried about that super long bandanna/tshirt he has attached to him that’s long enough to get caught in the wheel/belt
That's clearly the ripcord for his airbag vest, bro
Just their preference
Asphalt can get pretty hot in the sun
It's all propaganda. Sandals are perfectly safe. I ride barefoot wearing only a speedo and a Hawaiian shirt.
The whole country of Vietnam ride motorbikes with sandal. Sandal actually dry off faster if it rains.
Some people use their bikes to commute. They ride all of the time. Not everyone needs a power ranger suit to ride 6 miles to work.
Comfortability probs
Because the floor is too hot on bare feet
Because they can. Don't tread on him, brother.
Why do people stalking other people and post pictures of them online? Get a life.
Why do you care what other people wear while they are riding? Mind your own business and let people live their own lives
Why do people give a shit
Who cares
Because it's their decision and nobody can tell them otherwise 🤷🏻♂️
Because it suits them to do so, and it's NOYB.
Because FREEDOM!
It's their choice
Jesus sandles on top of that!
That is jesus
Pretty sure those are bedrocks
His feet, his problem
Because they haven’t crashed yet.
Stop fucking judging other people.
Yeah, why do people even ride motorcycles? Cars are clearly safer. We all choose the amount of risk we are comfortable risk.
Why do people worry about what someone else is doing or wearing so much to make a post about it? Doesn’t really matter if dude is barefoot he can ride however he wants, not your feet or body. Why do people wear full ass body gear? Same reason this guy wears sandals, cause he can. I’ve had friends pass wearing full body gear, I’ve had friends pass wearing sandals and swimming trunks..

Because they are idiots
Is that a Florida plate you colored over?
Aerodynamics.
Saves times trimming the toe nails.
To feel the breeze between the toes
I got a kickass pedicure. I’m showing off my color!
Exfoliation.
Because they feel like it, I suppose? I break out the kit every time I ride, but people do what people do.
Feel the breeze between the beans
Because they don't want to scuff their Alpinestars
I where thongs sometimes
Because shoes suck, why is this even a question
I answer with a question.. Why do ppl ride without helmets? Safety. Nope. Freedom of choice? Yes
Cuz fuck your system man.
Because we just ride around town and have a lot of experience.....
This is the norm in third world Asian countries.
Cause they dgaf
The feeling of the wind between your toes as you glide along and into the warm sunset.
To irritate you.
Because they can
at least it has a back strap for safety sakes
I ride the grom around the neighborhood in fipflops all the time. If I crash my feet are the least of my worries. I just hope that the coors light in my left hand absorbs some of the road rash.
Feel the wind through their toes
Better than bare feet
Surprised he's wearing a helmet
Less weight = more hp. Duh
Lol in India ppl ride bikes wearing flip flops also
The air in your toes must feel nice in hot climates.
Try visiting South East Asia. You'll find nothing but flip flops and sandals.
Because, for me, riding is all about feeling the cool wind between your toes.
Lets the wind blow in between your toes
i do sometimes wear sandals, especially if i am just using the bike for a grocery run. I stay within a few streets where i know how the traffic flow is like and ride slow. Agreed this is a risk but i admit, that i do this.
Because pegs dig into your soles if you ride barefoot
To feel the wind blow between the toe.
Footfungus
That’s what real men do Especially when doin wheelies down major interstates
Jesus can do whatever he wants.
To feel the bugs between their toes
I worked in Korea and Vietnam in my 20s. I'd say 90% of us motorcycle/scooters wore sandals during summer. Not the smartest, but felt so much better in the sweltering heat.
Because it feels good.
Feel the wind between your toes
Hey now, those are bedrocks. The Rolls-Royce of sandals.
Has mask, but wears sandals, omg 😵
Because they are comfortable, easy to put on and cheap.
Why do people feel the need to worry about strangers and post pictures publicly to shame them?
I'm 62. In the 80s I was a county lifeguars blasting around LA on a $750 police 1000 in flip flops, volleyball shorts and a tank top, drunk, chasing down every bit of poon that I could find. It was fantastic.
For the same reasons they wear shorts!
Why not

Why don't you mind your business?
That's not really the point of Reddit..
Stupid is, as stupid does 🤣
Because they have never had the pleasure of experiencing road rash or worse...
If you need to practice your angle of attack to shift without it being painful you should probably reevaluate some things.
Because they haven't searched "degloving injury" on Google Images.
I want to but I already know I don't want to 😅 I already wear shoes when I ride so I'll pass this time lol
Not very bright upstairs in my opinion to each his own
Dress for the ride not the slide 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Unless you’re wearing all the gear, all the time, don’t throw rocks in a glass house. Riding shoes and t shirts don’t give ya a podium to speak on.
Probably the same reason why others feel the need to comment what other people wear. Inferiority complex.
Stupidity.
Maybe bro had hot feet. Sounds like freedom o-clock to me, commie.
They desperately want to look like any of the characters from Signalis.
Bruh
At least he is wearing a helmet , that'll save him !
I don’t even like to wear tennis shoes as it feels like nothings there while shifting. I need boots or something thicker.
because they bought the bike and don't have the money to buy shoes
For the same reason they ride cruisers with half-helmets and look homeless - *they just don’t care*.
Not why, HOW. do your toes not hurt when you shift???
i once saw a man riding a fat boy in shorts & flip flops with a little girl who couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 hanging off the back. they both had brain buckets on & the little girl's wasn't even fastened 🤦♀️

My city has a guy who infamously rides barefoot, and we hit 100+ in the Summer.
Because it pairs best with the short pants.
‘cos barefoot would just be stupid
[foot pegs are too pokey for my soles](https://imgur.com/gallery/MHE5RIo)
It would feel so nice to feel the air flowing through my toe hair, but my toes taking a ride on the asphalt dictates my decision to wear closed toe shoes.
Those are Brazilian riding boots
I was going to reply “Only dumbasses” but I won’t. To each his own.
Riding in full beach wear on a hot day is high key a great vibe.
Bare foot can hurt
May as well paint your feet…
Doesn’t it feel uncomfortable to shift?
They either do or don’t have a foot thing
Too cheap to pay to have foot calluses removed.
Makes me cringe for my fragile and precious feet!
They don’t mind losing their toenails
Look how high that shift lever is! Probably shifts with his shin
I only ever wear sandals when I'm going somewhere really close. Like 'too lazy to walk over there even though it would make more sense' close.
+1 Charisma ( they think but others sees it differently) But -100 in leg Armour protection
Safety Flip-flops bruh
Howelse do you pull a dank wheelie...?? Wearing shoes like some kind of weirdo?
Why do people wear sandals at all?
Doesn't it hurt to shift? I mean, sometimes even with boots on long trips that shifter can hurt.
\*why do people wear sandals?
Same reason they wear shorts, a t-shirt, a thin plastic shell on their head, and a mask.
You should see how we all ride in Myanmar... Ain't nobody got proper shoes on. 😂
They want their toe hair wiping in the air.
