Yesterday, I was wearing a fullface helmet, Scorpion mesh riding jacket with armor, vented gloves, regular jeans and over the ankle boots. Even though it was going to be 96 degress. This was the way I was taught and is what I always wear when riding (all 3 monthes).
Well, I was coming home from riding in the mountains with my father-in-law, when I made a newbie mistake making a lefthand turn on a country road. Needless to say I went down. I was doing 15 to 20 mph. The only damage to the bike was a dented headlight rim, a broken footpeg, and scratches on the tank and turnsignals (which says a lot about the ruggness of the M-50). The only injury I recieved was a very bruised EGO.
When I got home UPS had left at my front door the pair of Kevlar riding jean I had ordered.
You don't have to show me twice about suiting up.
