I have seen this a few times in the military it shows up in our E-mails as scare tatics. Well it worked for me. I always ride with Jeans , Helmet, Gloves, and one of many Joe rocket jackets I have. I always thought that those over the ankle boots were ok untill I seen this. 24 hours after I seen this for the 1st time I had a pair of riding boots. 48 hours after my wife seen this I had a 2 pcs Joe rocket GPX suit, GPX boots and Speedmaster Gloves All and all 800.00. I wear that when I go on club rides but when I am poking around town I am in a Rocket mesh or textile depending on temp. My GPX boots are always on and I have Textile gloves with all the CF armor. End of story I guess I have alwasy wore gear but this has made me upgrade to the best I could get without taking out a loan.

 

Yuck! I didn't look at all the pics. Makes my chainsaw accident look like a minor scratch. I'll have to wear more of my gear more often.

 

Dude... people are idiots for not wearing gear. There is no excuse... even for being hot man! They make plenty of jackets and other clothing pieces that are vented. And how could you think that gear is for loosers!?! Those guys obviously haven't seen guys with full body gear... cuz they look freakin awesome! They look like some kind of robotic ninjas. I mean... they look like they can kick some real ***! I wish I had a full leather suit. I think I kinda look plain in my jeans and leather jacket.... and maroon helmet. Never the less... no road rash for me B**CHES!!!!

 

LOL

 

I have one piece Alpinestars leathers and I wear them when I hit the twisties plus the back protector. I recommend leathers, one or two piece. because its just about the best protection you can have. If you are going to do track days I recommend one piece leathers. Buy leathers that have the hard armour in the knees, elbows, and shoulders, not the foam padding crap.
My two cents.

I have some one piece a-stars also. I don't get overly hot in them. Anything is going to be hot on a 100+ day.

 

i know this is gonna sound mean but i wish i was in a car behind that guy. just to wait till he gets up to 30-40 mph and take out his back wheel with my car. and as im passing them both on the ground yell out "have fun getting that road rash scrubbed out loser!"

 

That post was awesome. Being in safety myself and just leaving Okinawa a year ago, I know of such things happening. Good post. Hopefully some of our new or non-wise riders take notice and take care.

 

Great post. Makes me determined to break my bad habits and start wearing the gear all the time. Thanks for the reminder.

 

what are your body parts really worth to you ? i like mine so i wear stuff those pics were pretty nasty
