I've seen her before.

It only makes sense. The difference is only going to benefit your life, doesn't take away from riding pleasure, and makes you look like a superhero to children everywhere.

That hit home. Thanks for sharing the story.

Wow...that both hurts reading it but also reinforces my believe in my gear. I get shit a lot and will get even more when I get some chaps for having so much gear on a 250 but I'm pretty sure an accident at 65-70 will do more than enough to make me regret it if I wasn't wearing it.

Ouch. Thanks for sharing.

it's been tempting more than once not to wear my heavy jacket on a hot day (haven't spent the money yet on a textile one with armor), but I still do it. sweating like a beast and drenched by the time I get home. but you gotta what you gotta do, right?
