For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Yeah, the pillion passenger has their foot on the foot peg now, but it's previously been on the exhaust -- presumably until they felt the heat as it got a few millimeters from the sole of their foot after melting through the shoe.

If the pillion foot pegs weren't folded out when they started, and they've not been on the back of a motorcycle before, it might not have been obvious where to put their feet.

Oh okay, I see what happened. Thanks for pointing that out.

I mean, it seems kinda obvious to me that the pipe where the exhaust of 1000's of explosions per minute comes out, is.. hot.
