RE: There goes the RR...
Only other accident was on the F2 by hitting a deer last summer. I bought the RR with less than 3500 miles on the engine that was laid down by the 1st owner, but in working condition. All the plastics was off since I was doing bondo work and repainting it. I just came back from the hospital and my right leg is fine, no broken or factured bones.
Hehe, yeah I was def stupid for not wearing gear. lesson learned, and as for the video, I thought it was funny. lol

Glad you are ok, but that's what you get for ****ing around, especially when you weren't smart enough to wear your gear.
I live in Atlanta, it gets hot here. I have a heavy Alpinestars TZ1 jacket with extra spine protection added, and when it is too hot for it, I have a Hein Gerick textile jacket with "steel-mesh" and padded joints. Not as protective as the leather gear, but much cooler and does offer decent protection.
And gloves and boots, always, even if I am goingt to the corner store.
You got lucky.

Damn, that is the ****s. Sorry to see that. I am not going to be on a soap box here but this is the reason I don't do things like that on my bike. I don't want to trash my bike or myself. To each is own, atleast wear some gear to protect your self. Be safe.

Well, this sort of thing is fairly common in any group that gives themselves a name with "boyz" in it.
I see that, and I just wait for the crash. Same thing with the kids that watch the fast and the furious and then go out and trash their ricer econoboxes.

You know what works good under leathers.
I wear that Underarmour Material Clothing, usually used for the gym and stuff.
I have a set of boxer briefs and a tank top and a few shirts made of this material.
Sweat doesn't stick to you, and you stay at a nice normal temperature.
