And the chances are, if you are wearing a good set of jacket n joining pants, chances are, when the shit really hits the fan, the top will part with the bottom & ya might end up snapping ya spine cause your back protectors useless cause its now around ya neck.
Be really careful if ya order like this as it will really piss you off if they don't fit & you have send back with same courier for replacement.
I like the Spidi, so maybe the next set.

Always remember the Honda 450 4, I was riding on a dirt road at 80 km, wearing a pair of shorts and a smile. (walked away from that).

It will never happen to me, But it does.

Where I live there is bugger all traffic. In the hot weather I wear the minimum if I'm cruising and not hooning. But do cover up, more for sun protection than worrying about coming off.
If I'm planning on going hard, it's full leathers and armour - but still haven't even had a near off in the last 15 years. - Must be going soft!

I don't mind adding an opinion, but can't stand the idea of telling adults what to do. The risks are obvious, but taking the same reasoning further says never get on a motorbike, let alone a busa.

Eh What?

I put freezer blocks (frozen) into my pockets and a wrap one of those frozen necktie thingies around my neck. I usually get to where I'm going before they melt and heat stroke sets in.
