Damn that seagull must've hurt. Awesome looking R1 though.
Doing errands today we started counting how many riders we saw wearing gear besides a helmet. Saw about 20 riders and only one was wearing gear. I just don't get it. So have any of these people actually gone down and just don't care or are they just that overconfident? Or both?

they probably have no experience/education and really don't think about it. They have never felt or seen the effects of a crash without gear. They are likely thinking "it will never happen to me, I'm not planning on crashing". and on and on... Most of them get away with it because they don't ride that much.

I ride every day
If it's too hot for gear, it's too hot to ride imo
I ride every other day...have been down 7 times....still don't where gear when it gets above 90. Yes accidents do happen but I feel confident enough in my riding skills to be able to avoid most serious accidents.

Don't mean to start a fight, but I'm thinking what if the SUV approaching from your right is distracted (happened to me); what if the kid playing with the ball on his lawn is distracted; what if the truck changing lanes in front of you is distracted; what if the deer grazing by the side of the road is distracted. Unless you can see into the future, you don't know how your next close call is going to play out.
I thought the "most serious" accidents was funny. Are there some serious accidents that you can't avoid (I think for just about everyone else, the answer is "yes").
I'm certainly not going to tell you what to wear or not wear when you're riding. It's your skin. I only hope that you have good insurance so that in case you do go down my tax dollars don't have to go towards your medical bills.
The funiest part about all of this is it costs less if I am dead!
This entertaining thread took a dark turn...
