No, I'm pretty sure that's a toque.
Look at the back of his head and the extra grey fabric bunched up there.
Yesterday it was -14 C and I saw some sopping at Freshco wearing shorts and one in a T-shirt and shorts coming out of SAIL.

I used a ten hp Tecumseh engine and heavy duty centrifugal clutch built for go kart racing to power it. For fun, we put a drag slick on the back wheel, a kart header, a racing carb, and a disc brake on it.
The guy that built the engine added a hotter cam and a higher compression piston, ported the block and installed a larger intake valve. We figured that that engine probably made twenty-five or more horsepower with the governor disabled. The mini bike might have weighed seventy pounds, (I could pick it up with one hand) and my boss/racing partner weighed a hundred and forty pounds soaking wet with a horseshoe in both back pockets!
We used that thing for a couple of years around the drag strips, often to tow one or another of the cars through the staging lanes, but when we got the chance, ol’ Billy, my partner would make an 1/8 mile pass with that little monster. It did impressive burnouts and would run well over 70 mph!!
I wish I had it now! We never knew how fast it would really go. Nobody ever had nerve enough to run it wide open through the quarter!
I don’t know what ever happened to it. Three and four wheel ATVs got popular in the pits about that time and they were much safer for anyone to operate!!
NO!
You're just starting to heal!
Don't screw it up!-

I taught Big Red, my son, to glance both ways even when approaching a steady green.
He still got nailed by a red light runner.
Thank goodness for his dash camera as the woman tried to claim she had the green.
His dash cam was knocked off the dash by the collision and since it was almost midnight and no one else around, I guess she thought she'd get out of it or at least muddy the waters.
OOPS!
SMILE! YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA!

There was a great disturbance in THE FORCE
Then again, maybe it was just indigestion?
