And when you work in A & E you need to hold them down whilst you scrub the gravel out with a sterile nail brush, but hey they always know best

With the good weather we are having you can understand why people don't cover up but i always do as you never know.

Yeah, we get 'em in our A&E!!
Then you get comments like "Why should I spend money on stuff like motorbike gear - just makes me sweat"! Not as much as this nail brush will!! :D

I happily ride in jeans and t-shirt. If I crash I'm sure I'll regret it, but no way am I going though life worrying about what if scenarios. I've been enjoying the freedom of motorcycling in lightweight gear on the roads for 34 years now. If its a red hot sunny day there is nothing I like more than a cooling ride on the bike followed by a cold beer at a pub somewhere before returning home. I put more trust in saddle time and spatial awareness than I do in protective gear. Mind you I do sometimes wear the trainers of invincibility! :lol:
