I was wearin a khaki welders shirt from TRactor supply when I went a slidin,, I guess I made about 50 feet or so before I landed on the bike in the ditch,, the spinning wheel cooked parts of a circle on it..It was slightly frayed in a coupla places, I still wear it. I had leather chaps on the legs. Ive totaled 3 bikes, 2, no helmet, first one, IF Id been wearing a helmet, I woulda died from a busted neck. Second one, I didnt hit my head, 3rd one, I slammed face first into the cab corner of a pickup & bent it pretty good.. I suspect had I not been wearing a FF helmet I woulda, at best, lost my teeth & needed facial reconstructive surgery. All that said, I owuldnt get on a bike w/o leather gloves, cuz you go down, youre usin those hands,,& a full co\verage helmet,, Lookm up the Hurt report, I think thats it, shows where most damage gets done,, & man, the face takes a beating on average..
