To a few, this question is a reality. Bryan explains his neighbor’s thoughts on living next to a guy regularly seen pulling out of his driveway in next to no clothing.

“The guy that lives across the street from me, he’ll give me a solidarity sign when I go out,” Bryan said. “His wife thinks I’m nuts. A neighbor kid lives next door to me and he’s 17. His uncle lives behind me and he was telling his uncle ‘that’s my hero!’”

Bryan planned the rides, even bought his first moped; he just needed a naked-looking bike, which he found in a Honda Ruckus. It was Thong Cape Scooter Man’s first form of transportation.

“You could see through the seat, it was just bare bones,” Bryan said. “No storage, nothing. Just a frame and a motor. I thought, ‘wouldn’t it be neat to ride a naked-looking bike, naked?’”

Thus, Thong Cape Scooter Man was born. His first ride occurred on Saint Patrick’s Day of 2012, a very hot year that saw Bryan in a fuzzy green hat and green shamrock cape. It was Easter weekend when Bryan wore a loin cloth and crown of thorns that he was pulled over for the first time.
