This is the gal in the video on the back of a bike, when her bf tries to wheelie and she flies off. They were going about 50 and she was wearing small shorts and a t-top.

The healing process must have been agony I believe she. Glad she is back riding and wearing gear.

Ouch!! I was in pain just reading that story. It is funny because I have always stressed to my customers how important gear is and I get responses like well if I go down nothing will protect me or I will probably just be dead anyways. Or, I don't feel as free with all this gear on. So retarded how some people can ratioanalize not wearing gear. I have taken quick trips without a jacket but now I will reconsider even doing that. That girls skin looks like I did when I stepped in front of a errupting, hot radiator. Pain Sucks.

I have NEVER wore gear in my life. But you can bet your asses Ill be ordering some soon. That was a compelling story to say the least. Where Im from its rare to see a local wear a helmet or gear, so in a way thats part of the reason I never did. But thats about to change. Riding is over for me this year so Ill have some time to buy some gear. Great story.
