I had one and had to be careful when riding with shorts! Got burnt more than once. Good motorcycle, tho.

Got one on the back of my right calf from a boy’s motorcycle when I was somewhere between 16 and 18 years of age. Thankfully it wasn’t too bad at the time and it’s been so long since it happened that you really can’t even see it anymore.

Hot castings and pour-off ladle in aluminum foundry, on arms, and other area. ’73.

Scars are just tattoos with better stories.

305 Honda Scrambler

You know, that is why classic biker gear was leather pants and jacket, and (what else?) motorcycle boots. That stuff avoided the burns and minimized the Road Rash when you laid the bike down.
