Good point Old Mechanic! It's fine to put around on a clunker, but if you want to ride in traffic, or at highway speeds, safety is a greater issue. Decent tires and brakes are a must at 65 mph.
I wouldn't endorse this kind of behaviour, but I had a cousin who rode a bike for a couple years with dry rotting tires, no brakes, no lights, no clutch lever, and a truck battery on the back rack (because his charging system was shot). It worked fine on country back roads, but stop and go traffic situations were a little more difficult
