kilted motorcycle?

[Eujeankilt]

I worked in a bike shop for 6 years and one story stands out to this day. A customer was in telling about his harrowing adventure. It seems he was in a serious accident and wasn't wearing protective gear. He had bad road rash and some broken bones (but not severe). He said they couldn't set the bone because his road rash was so bad, so they waited until his skin healed, then rebroke and reset the bone.

I also saw my employer hit a deer and fly off his bike at 90 mph, slide down the road for 50 yards with absolutely NO road rash because he was wearing good gear.

These incidents were enough to convince me to wear gear every time I ride.
Like McMurdo said, "I just dont trust other drivers enough".

Your mileage may vary.

(cringing at the very thought!)

I used to ride my BSA with sidecar in whatever I happened to have on at the time, but that was long ago.

These days - on a solo machine - take the kilt in a roll and wear the best leathers, boots, gloves and helmet you can afford.

Now I MIGHT ride in the sidecar kilted...
