    nasty....normally i wear boots when out in the country, but i cant work all day in those either, and didnt expect my buddy to show up. he came to fill just as i was finishing.
    Have you not got somewhere to put your change of clothes?, if not please get yourself a 100 dollar tank bag and take your clothes with you, as for your boots find somewhere safe at work to put your work shoes then ride to work in boots then change...if it means being half an hour early it may save you 3 yrs of cosmetic skin grafts.

    Piss poor excuses for not wearing protective gear!!!.

    i came off harder over a year ago and walked away, but was wearing less. this time i was in no way in dangers. if i hadve come off the bike, it would have been onto grass and maybe a sheep or two. this time, i stayed on cos i knew itd stuff my workmates otherwise.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    That makes perfect sense...And if I ride around in my underwear I'll probably crash into Christina Agulera?
    Edit: I don't want to come accross like a prick here. It is impossible to make a sensible argument for wearing riding gear that isn't the best you can afford. I know the saying "Before you can become old and wise you must be young and stupid". But it is important to live through the young bit first. Please get some good gear and work out a way to store work-clothes at work. It really is cheap insurance.

    You will hate this but you must get good gear. I dropped the Gixxer on the Taupo track and it wore a hole in the zip on the leg and gave me a nasty burn. The rest of the skin was fine. If I didn't have the leather I would have a lot of healing to do. Come on girl get the leathers. I replaced my pants for $199.00. Add a jacket at $220.00 and you are safe. gloves at $60-70. This verse the time to heal.................. no question Sunhuntin.......................and the race track has a nice smooth surface. Not like the rocks on the road.

    Glad to hear you are okay, but like others here, we'll need to keep stressing the point to get some good gear - take the time to suit up and change at work if needed. I only work 5 minutes from school, but I always suit up fully!

    The day that I don't do it, will be the day I end up needing it due to Sod's Law

    I also have to set a proper example to impressionable, young potential riders that may be influenced by me at school - All The Right Gear All The Time is my mantra to them!

    Sorry to harp on, but it's a well known educmacating fact that the bright ones get it the first time around, the average ones need to have it repeated several times ... and those who really need it drummed it, several hundred times

    So go on, get yourself some proper gear and shut the lot of us nana's up!

    Glad your OK there. Its hard to know how to react to a situation like that until its right in your face, but at least you had a split second to think.
    Exert your talents, and distinguish yourself, and don't think of retiring from the world, until the world will be sorry that you retire. -Samuel Johnson
