heres a test for all you riders

wait until its a 40 degree day

then go and lie on the road (in a safe spot) for 20 mins

if you are burning or get burnt you arnt dressed well enough

until youve laid under a bike pinned an unable to move you dont realise the value of a leather jacket good boots and jeans or leather pants
and the relative ease with which skin blisters

last week I saw a motorcyclist with his son on the back of his bike
was a 40 deg day he was dressed in jeans and jacket and boots
his son was in shorts and sandals , i can hear him now -- i wasnt going fast
I wasnt going far ...etc etc
think b4 you ride , ride safe
