Default another reason to always wear your gear

Saturday night around 2:00 Am (guess you could call that sunday morning) My friend went to take a ride around the block(he is a noob to riding).He took the GSX-R 750 out he was going up the on ramp and went wide on the turn at about 100mph and slid though all the gravel. He is ok just a little road rash on his legs. Not a scratch on his head or upper body where the jacket was. Please everyone wear your gear.

I dont feel its sad if someone new to riding rides over thier head and goes 100mph on public roads.... they deserve what they get... at least he was smart enough to wear a jacket, and hopefully a helmet... take that triple digit speeds to the track.... dont endanger someone else.... ok im done......
