tmyers7791 -> No Gear is Bad News (6/26/2008 12:45:02 AM)

Just a reminder to you guys who hit the curves hard and do 130mph on the highway in shorts and a t-shirt... Please rethink your apparel when riding hard. Ive been fortunate in the past while riding with no gear. A friend of mine from work was not so lucky last saturday. We met at a gas station and i asked him if he wanted to ride home and change before we hit the curves, but said he was going to take it easy. Im his friend not his dad so after i recommended it he refused and we left. Well after a while he was getting comfortable on his week and a half old 954 we hit a straight section of the interstate to the next section of curves and he took the f*** off...i was on my 600 gsxr so he left me pretty bad...but just then a van moved over trying to get out of his way...he tried to go around but he ended up hitting her. Probably doing in excess of 110mph in shorts and a polo. He lived, but he has 50 to 60 percent road rash coverage on his body and a broken foot. He was actually lucky considering the speed. I know you guys have heard these stories 100 times...but im making it 101. He is in pretty bad pain and his bike is beyond totaled. So if youre gonna hit it hard, please wear your gear, you may not be so lucky. Ill try to post the pics of the aftermath. I wasnt sure where to post this...i just felt i should. perhaps it will make some of you think twice. later guys
