As you can see from the picture I was into safety gear. I would not get on the bike without full leathers, but I was riding a bike that would do 100 in 1st (and often did). I crashed the R1 and broke a few things but didn`t have any road rash. Without the leathers it would have been a real mess.
I`ve never ridden but have been thinking about getting an old bike this summer. Something cheap... REALLY cheap. I was thinking 70`s era Honda. Simply a basic cruiser bike that I can tinker with more than actually ride.
Glad to see some of you guys in protective gear.
Leather ,helmet with chin gaurd and reflective jackets are a must.
It doesnt matter how great of a driver you are , all it takes is one person not paying attention to crash into you or pull out in front of you to kill or mame you.
Sorry dont mean to be a downer but I used to ride years ago and people pulled out in front of me often .People just dont see you on a motorcycle!
When I started wearing a bright orange reflective vest it stopped happening! Really works and may save your life!
Be safe and enjoy riding !!
