Member Contributer didit 264 Posted April 10, 2008 I bet that's a new CF high impact Tshirt he's wearing? Looks like my same tailbag too. I'm protected! Quote Link to comment
Tightwad 45 Posted April 10, 2008 Oddley enough I can't ride without gloves now...it has been so long since I have. Jacket may be optional on a test ride around the neighborhood, but gloves are a must. Looks like fun in an case....good to see VFR's about Quote Link to comment

Baileyrock 842 Posted April 10, 2008 Nice looking bike, congrats! No w as you can tell we like our gear around to protect or bodies so get out there and buy you some proper gear! Quote Link to comment
TimC 430 Posted April 10, 2008 Nice bike and pic, but while trying not to sound like an overprotective parent, jackets and gloves are very worth the cost and any discomfort. Or did you post that pic just to bait the ATGATT crowd? :biggrin: Quote Link to comment
soichiro 20 Posted April 10, 2008 Gotta join in. This is a perfect example of what not to wear on any bike. To each his own. No thanks for me on the rash. I would wear gear even if it was only for protection from wind, rocks, bugs. I feel naked in anything but full gear. Quote Link to comment
Member Contributer JTG 3 Posted April 10, 2008 I picked up a guy off the 210 freeway in LA after crashing his CBR at around 80 mph... he wasn't wearing gloves. Imagine if you will running your hands repeatedly across a cheese grater :biggrin: However this is a free country and that's still a beautiful bike and a great photo! Happy riding!

Guest eddievalleytrailer Posted April 11, 2008 Believe it or not, it is possible to go for a ride and not crash. If I was so scared of crashing, I'd just stay at home. I am not going to dress up like a football player just to go for a short ride. I've been riding for over 30 years and have seen my fair share of crashes, but most of the time the bike rider was being an idiot. Not to say that the bike is always at fault, but for some reason, squidly riding causes riders to fall down more than the use or non-use of riding gear. I have plenty of riding gear, and wear it when I feel it necessary. Like I said before, If I was that scared of crashing, I would either improve my skills as a rider or sell all my bikes and just stay home. Quote Link to comment
