Reasons to wear LEATHERS on a motorcycle
in the sportbike world, they're called "squids". Think 16-year-old ricer mentality with two wheels. Basically, it's something like this:

+1 on reapers post. What an idiot that guy. I don't even have a bike and I probably can ride better than alot of these guys out there. I got a CRF250X and have been riding since I was 12. I've been on all sorts of adverse weather conditions (rain, mud, wet moss covered rocks, down logs).I've seen some ppl that should not be on a bike. they can't even ride without draggin their feet for 25 ft. I never did understand the no helmet thing, I'd personally want as much protection as I can get. I wear full gear when I go riding, boots, knee braces, elbow pads, chest protector. I couldn't imagine riding without a helmet of all things. And of course lets give the horrible riders a bike that goes 0-125 in 1.3 secs. thats a good decision.
+1 on both reaper's and punisher's posts. I live in a college town so most of the "squids" tend to be guys rolling around in Frat T-shirts with the sleeves cut off. I don't ride a bike but I would think that people would at least want to wear a helmet, let alone full riding gear. All it takes is one crash to seriously get messed up and even with max gear on there's no guarantees. Anyway, hopes for a speedy recovery punisher and pretty much all bikers who have laid one down and lived to tell the tale.
Thank you for the wishes fine sir. I've laid down twice, and told the tell. First one some one was being stupid and hit me. This time I made big fubar. TOTALLY had the deer in the headlight look going. =\
And yes, squid girl = interesting. Much better than big ol Harley biker chick who should not be on the back of a bike suddenly flashing you. I think I need to go cut my eyes out now.

Ouch! Ouch!! Ouch!!! I laid my ninja down on a lowside about two years ago. Kinda funny, because I was meeting up w/ my buddies and it was a hot, nice day and I began to take off in my blue jeans and summer motorcycle jacket. I thought at the last minute, "I better go put my riding pants on, just in case." I'm so glad I did, because I walked away unscathed. I slide on the pavement forever. I couldn't imagine doing that on my bare skin. I'll post of some pics of the accident. My buddies and I were actually taking action shots of us hitting this corner and I went in waaaaaaaaaaay too hot and deep into the apex and the rest was history. Dude, I'm so glad you are okay, though. I'm not going to harp on wearing the gear, because it's personal choice, but hopefully you'll heal just fine and all will be well. Stay tuned for the pictures........(i'll post 'em 2nite)
unless THIS, or something simular is on the back of a harley...
