I must confess to being one of those riders who had not gone down recently and in really hot weather would wear, boots, jeans, summer gloves and a T shirt.
When I high sided off the Black and Silver after hitting diesel on a slow, "turn left at any time with care" corner in town in 2002 I had been going to not wear the leather jacket as it was a stinker outside, but changed my mind and wore it- lucky choice. Good way to get taught a lesson. Still smashed my shoulder up, but avoided a lot of complications by having a thick jacket on. That jacket didn't have armour, my new one does.
We all see the idiots wearing thongs, they get what they deserve.
