If any of you folks plan on coming up north to visit Canada :canada: this summer, be sure to leave your flip flops at home. :xxx: CANOE -- CNEWS - Canada: Biker pulled over for wearing flip-flops
An accountant driving a V-Rod... with flip-flops. I dearly hope he has a heel-toe shifter. This certainly puts a new spin on my stereotype of accountants driving Harleys, and not a good one.
It also gives quite the visual image..... Biker on a Harley Leather jacket Bandanna Dark sunglasses and for the pièce de résistance.......FLIP FLOPS! Talk about one bad ass biker! :rockon:
Now that this is mentioned, I do recall being aware of this law back when I lived in Winnipeg prior to 1978. I wasn't a scooter hooter then but was aware that proper footwear was a requirement when driving a car. Silly as this regulation sounds, I cannot argue against it.
Back in my day those rubber flop flops were called thongs......I told my kids I grew up wearing thongs. They kinda looked at me funny....
HEY!!! I was gonna post this story!!! I almost died laughing at the dude riding a V-rod in sandals......loser!
hey Randy, we call them 'Jandals' here in NZ. our aussie brothers across the ditch call em thongs tho. lovin that new avatar pic. is that the new OCC concept bike for Ikea? :treehugger: :eyebrows:
I heard of this law for cars as I drove some where in socks. Don't see the issue in a car, but i agree with it on a bike.
Ya, me too. I vaguely remember about some law requiring proper footwear when driving a car. Very hard to enforce when they can't see your feet from outside the cage. I assumed some kind of law would be on the books for bikes too. But I never thought in a million years a cop would have the balls to actually enforce it. I wonder if the cop is a fellow biker?
We have a similar law for cars in California. It has something to do with getting the flip-flop caught on the accelerator and killing a group of school children crossing the street or something...
