Well, had my first major wreck. Was riding my 06 FZ6 to class when a 96 skylark parked on the side of the street pulled into me as I was going past. Destroyed his driver side door and front fender, then ricocheted off his car and bike and I then crashed into a parked Fedex van. Dislocated shoulder and sprained foot that I have to stay off of for a while. My baby FZ is totalled, already trying to find another one, I loved that thing. Had over 30000 miles on her. My point here is I had on a Snell approved full face, First Gear Kilimanjaro jacket, good Firstgear gloves, and the Firstgear riding boots. Smashed my leg between the bike and the car which caused the sprain, and I think bouncing of the Fedex van dislocated my shoulder. So those of you that just get by with a helmet or not even that, I would seriously think about changing that mindset. I don't have the slightest roadrash or headache or anything other than the sore shoulder and foot. Here's my thought. If it's too hot or too uncomfortable to wear full gear, take your car.
