I wish I could have seen it!!! I guess I left too early hahahaha

poor thing

 

Yeah it was horrific!

 

I always wear my leather jacket when it's below 50 just because it is nice cutting out the wind. Sometimes I wear it when its between 50 and 70 and hardly ever if it's above 70 but I plan to start wearing it more this summer than I did in the past years.

as for what I consider Cold weather on the bike, 40 or below. If it's below 40 I don't ride very much at all.

 

by the way while we are on the topic of wrecking without leathers and the damage I'll throw mine out there. I was going about 60 MPH in September when a deer jumped out of nowhere and I smoked it as soon as I grabbed the brakes. I had on those real lightweight abercrombie cargo pants, and they had a couple rips in them but thats it. And no jacket, just a tshirt and an Abercrombie hoodie. That just had a couple rips on it and I had a fair amount of road rash on my back but none on my arms or anything.

If I hadn't had my helmet on though, I'm not positive I would be here. I know if I was I would had some crazy road rash on my face. I am 100% sure if the girl that was with me wasn't wearing hers she wouldn't be alive. Her helmet was totally ****ed and she was still knocked out cold for a couple minutes. I didn't used to wear a helmet much when I was in Illinois but I had it on here because Missouri has a helmet law. I'll definetly be wearing my helmet anytime I'm outside of town at night from now on.

 

awwww, well i'm glad to hear that you two were alright... I've crashed once last year on the track... so needless to say I was in my full leathers! Thanks goodness or else I would have scrapped up my ***! I most always where my leather jacket and once in a while I'll wear the pants too...
