Beating the Heat

[monkeybongos]

This is from a story about the heatwave in Europe, talking about some gals in Munich removing their tops, only to be told by police to put them back on.  (What is wrong w those cops?!)  Then came this quote:

"It wasn't just the ladies. In eastern Germany, officers pulled over a naked man on a moped; apparently, it was so hot outside so he had to take off his clothes and jump on his moped to catch a breeze"

Probably fortunate the pictures didn't download, but for those curious  (and seeking a laugh), you can see them at

It's a scooter, not a moped, but I couldn't ID the model.
If I were that cop, I would have looked the other way.  Literally and figuratively.  Go investigate the law-breaking ladies instead.

More than 14,000 were said to have died in France during the 2003 heat wave. Let's hope this one isn't as bad.
Man, that German sure ruined the re-sale value of that scooter.
(sometimes I start unzipping my armored mesh jacket when I'm riding on a hot day - then I think, "Well, you do that, you'll come right out of this thing if you have a big off."....and I zip it back up. 10 days in Florida - I saw one rider with a helmet...it was a full face HJC)
