A few months ago, going to watchmy oldest son play soccer. Wife had a car full of kids so my middle son and I jump on the bike (SV1000S). Both wearing trackies, long sleeve tees and runners. I had gloves he didn't. Got to a set of lights as we went through car turned across the front of us completely blind. F%^$ing C89t jumped out and proceeded to abuse me while my 10YO son laid in the gutter crying. He ended up with really badly mashed hip (still healing now) badly grazed shoulder lacerated fingers. I ended up with a fractured shoulder, bruised ribs and an absolute conviction that myself and my pillions will never get on my bike without full gear ever again.
It's a week by week charade.
