One dude asked me if I was hot, I said yup, but I like my skin too much. Once I took out the extra liners and got the coat down to the mesh sleeves and opened all the vents I was golden. You are both right, you feel naked without all the gear. I couldn't even think of not going without the full face helmet. I guess if you have fallen you have learned the lesson of how important it is to have the safety aspects covered. I guess when people are on holiday and renting scooters they think nothing can happen to them because they are on vacation right. More bad stuff happens to people on vacation because they throw caution to the wind. <br /><br />When I was getting the bone scan the other day (because of my wipe-out in January) the tech was telling me he rode and wears full gear. He told me to look for Road Rash Queen on Youtube. I did and it just confirmed my feelings all over again about ATGATT. Scooter/motorcycle safety = FULL GEAR. <br /><br />I think this is going to be a fave rant of mine on my blog - sorry it is the mom in me. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-10741588079199631522011-06-04T20:29:17.377-07:002011-06-04T20:29:17.377-07:00It never ceases to amaze how few PTW riders wear t...It never ceases to amaze how few PTW riders wear the right gear. Once you start wearing armored gear and a full face helmet you just feel naked without it.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-37594204954247307012011-06-04T19:19:58.689-07:002011-06-04T19:19:58.689-07:00With it being in the mid-90F's here I saw very...With it being in the mid-90F's here I saw very few folks with gear. I did see a guy on a BMW wearing as much gear as me, but other than that it was tee-shirt and shorts. All were wearing helmets because Missouri still has a mandatory law, but that was it. It didn't matter if we were talking sports bike or cruisers or scooters. Lots of woman riding pillion on cruisers were wearing shorts, flip-flops, and tank tops. Oh well, I'd rather not have road rash. I read somewhere recently a rider sharing his stock answer when someone asks him, "Aren't you hot in that stuff." His response is, "It beats the alternative." I was reminded of this as I read you saying much the same thing. I, too, want my piggies to get home where they belong and the rest of me, too.<br /><br />Thanks for the share,<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.com
