    Well, I just figured that if I was riding a Hippo, I would want my boys protected. Just the Hippo's rough hide, not to mention all that bouncing around, would be enough to lower your polywog count to zero. I've riden a Harley nekid. It had one of them sheep fur seat covers though. That suicide shifter made me a little skittish.
