And yes, I know that head trauma is the leading cause of death in a motorcycle accident. What I'm saying is that bashing your face/chin is the least of your worries if you go down. At least it is if I go down. I mean, the way I see it...If I go down, I'm trying to tuck and roll or simply flatten out and slide. The few times I HAVE been down, it has served me well.
here's my 2 cents. 2 weeks ago, I hit the back of a car. the car stopped short on me. I knew I was going to hit him, so I swirved to miss him just to hit another car that was in a left turn lane. I thought I had room to get by. just my fucking luck!! I hit him instead, but not straight on though. I went over the handle bars and hit chin first. thank god I was wearing a full face helmet. It cracked the helmet at the chin, but I got up with minor scarps and bruising on my arms and left leg. so please, wear a full face helmet. it's just not worth taking a chane!!!
