That is an awesome line!!!! Maintains your level of ugly!!! hahaha I love it!

 

I'll admit I to at times dont wear all my gear when its really hot and I now I'm going to be stuck in traffic at low speeds.... Makes me feel naked.

 

if i wasnt going to wear all my under protector gear under a sweatshirt, i wouldnt wear anything, what would the point be. but on my 7 mile trip to work, i have on all my gear except my knee and leg guards. i will not go on the freeway without pants and full gear.

for anyone that thinks a pair of jeans is a safe alternative to full protection. stop feeding yourself a false sence of security, jeans are about as usefull as a "t" shirt in a slide.

 

Skin or scar tissue, gear or no gear.

+1 on the jeans too, worthless.

 

all gear all the time for me

we manage wrecks all the time at the gap, I have a friends bike in my garage now from a high side tonight.

he broke his coller bone but other than that not a scratch.

All gear always for me, I have seen to many times what happends when you dont have it

 

I can say from experience that good gear is the way to go. Even from my little low speed, low side situation some gear didn't fair to well. I was wearing Icon super duty pants and Icon knee & shin armor. If it weren't for the armor it could have been pretty ugly. That same pair of Icon pants are now riding shorts but I always wear the armor. The pants don't do anything but look nice.

Good pic man... Can definately imagine what would've happened if that was skin and not armor...

 

That's an understatement. One time last month I sat down with the shin armor and tried to think and feel my leg without it. I think it would have been fairly nasty. Might not have made my flight out that day. In fact I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have. I won't get on a bike now without the armor. It's a lot less expensive then medical bills...

I'm sure alot of us have experienced our own incidents. But boy, oh boy, Jeans don't do ****, sneakers don't do ****, I am guilty that I was only wearing a hoodie too, but since I was lucky on the upper body. GEAR UP. Cause trust me, this is not fun. Road rash s#cks, it's hurts, and the cleaning process, not pretty (ask walight01 ) But trust me, not having the protection is not smart. I am willing to spend all kinds of money to protect my body.
SO PLEASE EVERYONE, if you enjoy riding, gear up, cause the side lines s#ck.
