People that elect to ride without a helmet just cause they can always makes me wonder how they take that in the teeth or face & still don't change their minds.

I agree, a big juicy bug in the teeth would be a deterrent one would think. I guess looking cool out-weighs being in pain.

May 22nd was turning off main road to work saw a bike down in middle of that road further down while making left. I thought that bike looks familiar. People were there assisting; then guilt hit "turn around it's a biker". I did just that came on sceen & recognized the bike as a nurse's I work with & had planned to ride with. My heart sank seeing here layed out in road covered by a blanket. Stuff like this does not bother me but it is different when you know the person. I tell her I'm there comfort here direct another to call 911 etc.
Very true, always tougher when it is someone familiar or a family member...got that tee shirt unfortunately..

I'm wearing one of those tee shirts in my avatar. In the funeral procession. I've lost several, but that one was hard. Gear don't always save you.

So things get taken care of i am working alongside the officers & EMS workers that i normally interact with at the hospital. I may have over stepped a bit but nobody complained. She had 2 almost inch deep holes in her forearm bleeding i check her over & she says my neck is good but my knee hurts. See blood there through jeans hole but not as much. When clothing cut off i see why it hurt. She was making a left turn into a stip mall & was hit by a car. Looks like she took the hit on the right side of bike & knee which was split wide open side to side bout 4" or more across. I saw what only an operating Doctor should see. These are SJ's scars after being fixed up & i decided i need protective gear on my knees hips sooner than later. Just something to chew on.

My gloves are at the shop in my toolbox, my jacket unfortunately was stored in my basement and my basement flooded. The jacket didn’t get wet but from being down there got moldy. I may drop it to a cleaners and see if it can be saved.

Hahaha I was still feeling it out. I have been off bikes for 3 years but I am getting the hang of it again.Exactly my thoughts Toad . . .
but I've noticed Kiwis and Aussie bikers always, and I mean ALWAYS wear gloves.
Americans . . . nah, not so much.
Must be the Freedom thing built into the American psyche ....

Yea all she has is a helmet and her gloves were with my jacket. We plan to make a trip soon. We never thought we would be riding again so it’s just amazing to be back on the bike.
Yes it is actually at stock height right now until the shock change and then I can hopefully lower it.
I don’t want to mess up the undertail that I just had painted lol
