Post a cool Pic of you in your Kart

Yeah. I’m not sure why so many riders here don’t wear abrasion resistant gear. Might be cultural. It seems like UK/Europe generally has bikers fully kitted out.

Also, while I’m being a picky old man,it would appear that’s his karting helmet.Maybe he went full car helmet instead of kart.

Yeah it differs a lot, way to many bikers in the America that doesn’t have any gear at all :triumph:

Karting/car helmets are generally safer than the road helmets. But they are absolute crap in the higher speeds than a ordinary biker helmet that is more aerodynamic designed

This is caused by a lack of imagination; they have not stopped for a moment to imaging what road-rash to the bone would actually feel like. :anguished:

I’ve still got a scar from road rash I got at 25mph on a bicycle. Can’t imagine what would happen on a motorcycle without gear

Nothing particularly interesting going on here but I just think it was a great shot, taken at a Autocross last year. It’s all artsy and stuff!

Nice look. The Red Baron!

Well I used to have a bike and I did consider the downsides (pun intended) of not wearing leathers, but when it 90+ and sunny having full leathers for a casual ride was a tough decision and I would go the non-leather route. I would at least wear jeans and decent footwear, but I have seen riders with shorts and flip flops (crazy). I miss my bike but I’ve seen too much.

Practice day. When the snow started dumping.

Not a kart photo but wanted to shoutout @Alan_Dove for the killer merch. Most karting apparel is pretty mundane but this House of 100 pullover looks sick and fits great. Wonderful couch-wear as I watch IndyCar qualifying.

That seems like an interesting beer pairing.

That would be the perfect vehicle to go a-courting in.

Not that I’m staring at your crotch purposely, are you belted in to the sofa?
