I never ride without the skid lid! Spose cause its been drumed into me for my whole riding history. 25 years. I just dread to think of the consequences of a lid free waste out. And I've had some beauties!(allways lidded up). Couple of rippers on the road at 90+ mph.

This relates to safety but not gear. I have a track behind the house and shop where I live on the weekdays. I got the bike warmed up and headed to the track. I was hauling a#$ in the field, when I rounded the corner into a straight away I noticed a tree limb about 100 yards ahead laying across the track. We had a strong storm 3 nights before. I did a slow prerun of the track through the woods and found many more big limbs down on the track. From then on I do a slow prerun to check the track. This morning I broke my own rule. I wanted to change oil so I warmed the bike up on the dirt road. The dog was going nuts so I thought I would give her a run. I popped the garage door and put on my helmet. We did a run through the field real fast a couple of times. Now back to the shop to change oil before work. The dog took the short cut though the woods at top speed and I took out after her. It was kind of muddy because of a storm the night before last so I had slowed before I went over the blind hill. I ate tree limb for breakfast. I didn't get hurt and did not hurt the bike just my pride. I was a muddy mess. I wrestled the bike from the brush and it started 2nd kick. I went to the house and changed clothes so the guys at work wouldn't know I wormed out. I felt stupid after breaking one of my own rules.

I guess I feel like If anyone doesn't want to wear safety gear I think we should let them if the are over 18! If you are old enough to sign up your are old enough to die any way you want!
