I used to ride a race-prepped RD400. Loved it! Although I once went out on the back of my ex-gf's bike wearing her stiletto thigh boots, I wouldn't do it again. I personally would never ride in anything less than a full set of proper bike leathers, gloves, bike boots and full-face lid. I got knocked off going at about 50mph when an XR3i ran into me from behind. According to the paramedics I slid about 40 feet down the tarmac. My bike, leathers, boots and helmet were all a write-off, but I got away with torn back muscles and severe bruising from the impact. Very painful, but not permanent. Looking at the damage done to my boot and leather jeans the medics were of the opinion that had I not been wearing them I'd probably have lost my right leg at the knee.
I'm not trying to put you off, bikes are possibly the best fun you can have with your clothes on, but you really need to be properly dressed. As for wearing heels on a bike, I'd say it was a big no-no. It's just not worth the risk if you come off.
One of the girls I used to work with rode a GSXR 750. Very nice bike. |
