The last time I rode a motorcycle was ten years ago (and before that was when I was 7 or so). On that trip I mistook the exhaust pipes for the foot pegs in the dark, and melted my shoes.

This time, I was so much smarter (right). I was very, very careful about looking where I put my feet. No melty soles. However, when getting off the bike, my leg briefly touched the pipe...merely a split second, and I burned the hell of of it. Yes, I should have been wearing long pants instead of shorts, but I wasn't expecting to be on a motorcycle when I left the house in the morning. So there.

I've currently got a giant blister on my left calf, and an even larger red spot. But it doesn't hurt, so it's just annoying.

Still, burn or no burn, it was a fun trip.
