Regardless if she was wearing gear or not, being on a bike 120mph is a big no no on my opinion.A little video from our favorite RR Queen, five years later:

How you ride is more important than what you wear in my opinion. Stupidity can easily eliminate the benefit of ATGATT. I am all for ATGATT, but armor is not fool proof.Regardless if she was wearing gear or not, being on a bike 120mph is a big no no on my opinion.
let the friendly debating begin...How you ride is more important than what you wear in my opinion. Stupidity can easily eliminate the benefit of ATGATT. I am all for ATGATT, but armor is not fool proof.
impressive...I'm very impressed that she got her own bike and started riding after that incident. That's bawls.
On another note, her bike and gear look awesome! I'd like to get a custom paint job and matching gear as well some day... not in pink though, haha.
Or woman slamming on the brakes, sending you careening down the highway on your back?but you have no control over that little old lady cutting you off, sending you sliding off into the ditch.
yeah it may not save you from impacting an object but is that really a reason not to wear it? How do you think FZwhite would be if he wasn't fully geared when he went down at 70mph? Your logic is foolish. Protect yourself for worst.Why do GP riders get to stand up and walk away from 120mph crashed? GEAR. Thats just like the stupid "harley logic" of Id rather be dead than wear a helmet and be a vegetable. Okay how about when your not a vegetable and you get to go home to your family and kids because you were SMART and wore your gear, versus they get two sherrifs coming to their door to tell them daddy is spread across the highway or in the hospital with imminent brain damage and wont survive.How you ride is more important than what you wear in my opinion. Stupidity can easily eliminate the benefit of ATGATT. I am all for ATGATT, but armor is not fool proof.
Saying someone's logic is foolish doesn't even come close to being unfriendly. That's absurd, I'm satin it's foolish. Give me one single valid point why $200 invested in gearing yourself up isn't better than thousands spent on skin grafts and life long scars? C'mon I challenge you...find something validSo much for "friendly" debate. Off the gun calling someone's logic foolish and just like stupid harley logic. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it may not be correct to you, but it is hardly being friendly if you are saying his opinion is foolish. On top of that, he has a very valid point, gear is not fool proof. No matter if you are wearing gloves, pants, jacket, helmet, etc... in some situations, that isn't enough.
Where did I say you should not wear gear? You claim my logic is "foolish" when in reality your logic is flawed. I really think you need to re-read the post and think about what it really says because your assumption that I think wearing gear is unnecessary is false. As I said "I am all for ATGATT".yeah it may not save you from impacting an object but is that really a reason not to wear it? Your logic is foolish.
that's what I read... my earlier post was to your first point that how you ride is "more important than what your wear"... then you backed it up with your reason... I was just adding, that how you ride is an excuse for no gear that a lot of riders use... and it's not just how you ride, there are other factors out of the riders control...Stupidity can easily eliminate the benefit of ATGATT. I am all for ATGATT, but armor is not fool proof.
All said and done, we are all debating the same point. ATGATT, and be a safe/defensive rider. No reason to get bent outta shape.The logic saying atgatt is not instrumental toward the survival in an accident is foolish.(No one has made that statement)
Your making left field assumptions saying a atgatt rider is riding over the speed limit and tailgating,(No one said that either, just made an comparison)
I'm saying that atgatt is instrumental. (We all agree on that point)
The free spirit I'd rather ride free and die if I go down logic is the most dumb thing I have ever heard. (No one argued that logic)
