A local daredevil has made local motorists imagine a disgusting scenario today by deciding to ride into town without proper motorbike attire.
Shayne Nicholls caused the commotion earlier this morning, as he sped through traffic along the Diamantina Development Road into town.
Reports have been confirmed that the plasterer from Betoota’s Ponds District has a horrible habit of hopping on his old Honda and hooning around without any protective clothing.
As can be seen in the image captured by one of our photographers, Nicholls was riding into town this morning without motorbike pants, gloves and a jacket, forcing other commuters to imagine his pale skin peppered with blue metal.
One commuter called Phil Watson told us the image stayed in his mind for some time.
“It was horrible,” he said.
“Imagining those legs just that disgusting blood orange colour filled with little bits of stone in there. You know when it doesn’t actually bleed or anything it’s just horribly grazed.”
“The kind of thing that getting in the shower with is the stuff of nightmares.”
Another commuter echoed the sentiments as well.
“He doesn’t look tough. It doesn’t impress anyone,” she laughed.
“I mean I know it’s been a few decades since those flairey wide piped pants were a thing, and motorbike pants are not exactly flattering on the human body, but they are a whole lot more flattering that legs that looks like they’ve been tackled on the cricket pitch 20 times.”
it’s not a Honda, it’s a Twin-shock DT model Yamaha. Get it right.
