It cost me some knee issues when I put it through the passenger window and bent the frame.
The second time I was going almost 60, I flew about three times the distance as the guy in the video and landed flat on my back, I didn't get up as fast as he did that time.
Also in jeans and t-shirt, road rash won't kill you but shit if fucking STINGS!
I also didn't get a single scratch on my helmet.
The second one I feel in my lower back every single day, I quit riding for 20 years because of that accident.
But then I realized that life was too short to worry about "what if it happened again?"
So now I am a super defensive rider, but I still don't like riding in town in traffic. |
Yea< that way sucks!
But now being 43, always ware jeans, all of my leather jackets have body armor inside, and a full face helmet. Don't care how hot it is, I ware my gear. And I ware chaps when I go cross country or long distances.
When I was in my twenties, I wore shorts, wife beaters and tiny brain cup that was not really DOT approved.
My life insurance and medical insurance is very high. Cant leave my kids with nothing because I like to ride.
And I have been riding almost every day since spring. Love it!!
