Ouch ouch ouch Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! That's gotta hurt!! We came off last year around a bend at 5mph in Creté on a "cruiser" Shorts, t-shirt and open face helmet. That was sore enough thank you very much.

Now ATGAT!!

OW!! OW!! OW!!!!!!
I tried out my Dainese cordura gear, Daytona boots and Shoei helmet in a 50MPH get off. Only a scuff on the trouser knee and a stubbed toe.
Hate to think what damage if only wearing shorts and t-shirt.

OMG! That is soo bad.
It really makes you think.

I'm tempted to put up a page myself; if it makes one person wear decent protective clothing its worth it.

I once found a US site with photos of M/C accidents. The Bikers were not wearing helmets, all were dead. None of the photos were pleasant. All were posted by the Police from a State where wearing of helmets was not complusory.

Perhaps you guys can write an article on your gear and we'll publish them. Kind of a long term test? I.e. you need to have been using them for 3 months to be able to comment?? What do you lot think?
