Just wanted to make a point about this.
Most of you probably don’t know this but I took a pretty good spill in NC at the Beat the Heat Rally.
Did a low side and ended up totaling the bike and went into a ditch full of very large rocks. Even though I got a broken ankle and wrist with some tender ribs out of it, I had all my gear on which is probably the reason why I don’t hardly have a scratch on me other than the already mentioned injuries. There was some shredding on the jacket and pants but the main thing that really gave me a moment of pause was the chin bar of my Shoie Neotec was busted. If not for the gear the outcome of this could have been far, far worse.
Wear your gear folks, it’s important and can pay for itself in an instant.
