Default So, why do we wear gear???

This is why (pics from my accident gear):

How to trash $120 gloves in 2 days:


And my finger is still there:


The paint on the syrofoam liner is nice and cracked:




And the money shot:


I'm stilll alive because of my helmet, I guess my finger is still there because of the gloves, and if I had my new jacket on, my shoulder wouldn't have been hurt lika bish.....SO.....ATGATT!!!

Thanks dude. It's funny cause I wasn't an ATGATT guy unless I knew I would be riding hard. I always wore gloves, a full-face helmet, and full-foot shoes, but the day I went down, I had on a t-shirt and shorts and my new 2-day old jacket was in the back of my car (thankfully I didn't get a lot of bad road rash and I could return the jacket, haha). But if and when I'm back in the saddle, it's ATGATT for life!

I notice alot more people are starting to wear full gear.Great to see.But you have to remember just because your wearing gear doent mean you are indestructible.You can wreck at 10mph wearing full gear and die or fuck yourself up bigtime.All it takes is a good head shot and that person may never be right again.
