Not wearing any gear, eh?

Home Skillet

Holy crap!!! Appearantly not. What were you wearing?

rapid_roy

ouch, welcome to suckville - where no one wears gear.

Look on the brightside, all your limbs and digits are still intact. Glad you are still alive - death to the cell phone talking SUV drivers. *******.

edit for spelling

Damn, that's why you have to wear the gear always. It's look s like you were wearing shorts too. You never know whats gonna happen on the road. Damn cagers!

tWx

that's why we always wear our gear...right?

eric_si

Maybe now is a good time to invest in some gear. Could have been alot worse man. Heal up quick

smokee

not even gloves? holy ****...

PM-Performance

youve never got scraped up with gear on? i have . anyway damn that looks bad man . i know how much that **** hurts and my spills werent even close to 1/2 as bad as that.

From looking at those pictures... having worn proper gear, you would've probably just needed a couple of band-aids.

You're hands most likely would've been fine with gloves.
You're arms, shoulder, and back would've been protected with some leather.
You're calve's might've been alright with some Levi's.

Thanx for the pics. Good lesson for all of us.
Glad you're not too banged up.

sorry bro, but no sympathy for stupidity here. just personal policy is all

PM-Performance

again how do you guys know what he was or wasnt wearing?

rastropovitch

Nice... love people that ride responsibly.... which includes wearing gear. either that or you must have been riding so fast that the asphalte ground all the way thru the layers of protective material and still had enough heat to melt your epidermis. In addition, part of experienced riding, is seeing a situation before it developes and becomes problimatic, good judgement there. On the other side of it, sorry to hear that another biker went down, those burns will heal... unfortunately, your bike won't

becuase motorcycle gear is specificlly designed to protect against exactly what happened there. if he was wearing gear i take it back, and i would like know what products he was using so we can all steer clear.

i have never seen someone go down with gear on and get even a fraction of the amount of road rash he has, but hell i been wrong before.

ScareyH22A

Does anybody of pictures of their gear after a wreck? I've always been curious as to how they wear.

KaliBird

quit being such *********. how is he not a responsible rider becasue he wasnt wearing his gear and got hit by someone ? its not illegal to not wear gear. i personally do, but no need to say to this guy that hes not a responsible rider liek he jus did a wheelie down the street and took out a crowd of kids

hope u heel up man.

Phaze2 Mike

Hey A**HOLES..... is your personal policy to get hit by a car? Who the hell do you think you are, his parents? Im sure that the kid is now WELL aware that gear would have helped, esp given the rash, STFU and say, sorry man, not give a lecture on gear. Every biker i have ever met has at least once not worn gear, so hop off the pedestal. Do you tell a girl that just got raped walking home alone
" you shouldnt be walking alone"? Of course you dont, you say im sorry and know that without a trace of doubt they learned what would have prevented the incident. Have a little more tact.

Hello kettle? This is pot calling....

rastropovitch

Better get training wheels for the next scooter... whats the piont of posting up that you just got owned by the large flat motionless black area where all the big metal boxes roam? Sympathy? Seeing traffic patterns develope even before you are involved is the biggest factor in riders being either hit or... going down. Sure I have gone down, I have gone down many times, and usually at high to very high speeds, but you know what? I always had several mills of thickness in some cows fat *** on my body to keep me from getting the corn flakes... and I have never been down in the city, does not mean it won't happen, but it has not as yet (knocking very hard on a large piece of wood). This "sense" of traffic or dangerous situations can not always easily be taught, it is a skill and sixth sense, a common sense. The highest danger point in a riders timeline on a motorcycle is when that rider has become competent and skillful, that is the time at which they take chances or put themselves into high risk enviornments

thanks everyone.... I dont think anyone was being a dick head.

I should have been wearing gear and I was not. I was wearing gloves, one was riped off when I hit the ground. I should take some picks of my helmet.

Rember to wear your gear.. good lookin out
