This is going to be a short post. My friend had found this thread on the Southern California sport bike riders forum. Basically the writer tells the story about him deciding not to wear any gear one day when he went riding his Ducati Hypermotard. He high sided at approximately 50 mph although police claims he was going 80 mph. He wore only jeans, a tank top and tennis shoes. Ironically the rider himself owns a gear shop.

The pictures are really graphic. I decided not to put them on here. So please go to this link to read the thread - http://socal-sportbikes.com/xmb/viewthread.php?tid=58512.

I believe this should be yet another proof to all riders out there - don’t try to save money on your gear. Always gear up as things can happen even a couple of blocks away from your house and really fast. And when you make choices as to what brand of gear to buy please listen to my advice and invest in a good brand. It might save your life one day.
