Generally when you see someone in full leather when the thermometer tops 100 then they are either new riders, on a road trip, or ones who will hit excessive speeds at the drop of a hat.
Yep, and the people who carry guns are the ones who want to kill somebody for any reason at all.
Sorry, but that's just not true. Most of the ones I know who wear gear are experienced, and care about their safety- same type of people who carry concealed. Ask my brother- he went down at 35 this summer, and was very glad he was wearing his gear. Roadrash hurts, whether you're new or experienced, enjoy speed or not.
Good thread, I wear my 1911 strong side. The jacket covers it when I'm on the bike, and I pull my shirt over it when I take the jacket off. Guess I need to carry it in a backpack or tank bag- that could be painful to land on. I've fallen on it hard before (ATV spill, not bike), and it took several months to stop hurting.
