Its gonna be a long day for you.

 

That is what I was thinking as well

 

I'd tell your friends at the braai not to wait up for you.

5 hours at least.  so you should be finished by 15:00. Food should taste good after that at least.

might as well strap a skottel to your handlebars, 6 pack of "cola " in your pockets and make a day of it

i would not expect much, just be thankful at the end (IF...)

Suggestion - maybe take the braai with you on the ride

Enjoy and have fun!

Dont think it will be an issue, no one cares if you stub your toe...

I recall one chap who very successfully raced XC in SA as a licensed vet using rocky sandals.

You'll be a lot more comfortable with takkies but if you want to suffer then wear flip flops.

Illegal to wear flip flops. It is even illegal to wear flip flops when driving a car.

 

 

 

Reason is not very nice one but a valid one nonetheless.

 

 

 

If you are in an accident and are killed instantly you always come out of your shoes - not sure why but this is what happens. If you are dead and still have your shoes on then the authorities know that you were not killed instantly.

[Cranck]

WTF??????? Seriously?

No man..... or am i just being helluva gullible right now?

Weird enough to be true....................possibly.

 

It was illegal to wear them whilst driving a car in Sardinia in the early '80s.  The police armed with Uzis set up roadblocks using this rule as their money-making racket. Didnt seem interested in much else.

 

Like triangles in Mozambique.

I have heard it from a few cops that when they come across a body especially those run over on highways and the shoes are missing then they know the person was killed instantly.

 

 

 

As for knowing of anyone who has actually put the theory to the test fortunately not.
