    Clean it up a little around the edges and it’s actually pretty cool looking new footwear

    I mean, neither of them are wearing appropriate footwear for riding. If a melted shoe is the worst that happened, I’d say they got lucky.

        the human crayon

        Holy shit. I’ve never heard that one before. Way to paint a picture 😲 (or crayon one, I guess)

    There’s no way they wouldn’t have noticed the burning. Right?

    I always have sympathy for these folks. When I was little, riding on the back of my dad’s Yamaha, I burned my leg on the exhaust because he never explained that the chrome gets crazy hot.

    Never assume people know.

      Similar here. I was like 10-11yo and another kid brought over a little 50cc bike. We weren’t even doing anything “stupid” with it, and somehow I had a burn on my calf about the size of my palm that took a relatively long time to heal. The skin there was a different color for years afterward.

      And, that was so long ago, and I’ve interacted with bike so little since then, I still couldn’t tell you which bits get hot, just that some do so be careful.

      My best friend in elementary school rode dirt bikes with his dad and bother. The first day we met he showed me a nasty scar he got from the exhaust pipe on his bike.

      Burned my leg on my dad’s Honda. He picked me up from school and I happened to be wearing shorts.

      Parmesan. Same as the stuff from behind your ears. Unless you mean the shoe. Then burnt shoe.

      Yeah, the pillion passenger has their foot on the foot peg now, but it’s previously been on the exhaust – presumably until they felt the heat as it got a few millimeters from the sole of their foot after melting through the shoe.

      If the pillion foot pegs weren’t folded out when they started, and they’ve not been on the back of a motorcycle before, it might not have been obvious where to put their feet.

        I mean, it seems kinda obvious to me that the pipe where the exhaust of 1000’s of explosions per minute comes out, is… hot.
