I don't think you should be riding again, its your second accident. Good to know you're okay though

You should go to Vegas. The odds of surviving two motocycle accidents is pretty small.

I'm guessing from the photos you weren't wearing a helmet?

Glad you're okay, but hope you get the message... brain = important.

(Otherwise you might as well speed up the inevitable and enlist to disarm roadside bombs in Iraq or something...)

I have a textile jacket and pants, but it's too hot to wear them right now. And being a squid is not just not wearing protective gear, it's an attitude and it includes stunting and stuff too.
I got a mesh jacket, but it was too small and haven't gotten a new one yet.

Well I'd say you ride the wrong bike, and you may want to learn how to ride before taking on roads that may end up killing you, or chasing choppers that outrun you in turns (???!!)



Now excuse my language, but that is pretty damn stupid to say the least. Maybe someone needs to link to some pictures of what happens to you when you fall off your bike at 30mph and hit the road instead of grass? Or maybe a tree? Not to mention higher speeds.

Too hot ... wtf? I just came back from a holiday in California/Arizona. I didnt carry all my gear over there for no reason. I never go anywhere without full gear (and that's leather, not mesh ...). You get used to it, you know? It's one thing having a dangerous hobby, but begging fate to fuck you is another dimension yet.

Maybe you don't have family and people who care about you, or a health system that will have to pay for what you do - in which case, do what you want, but remember that this forfeits your right to complain should anything happen to you. If you do have any of the above, it may be time to be a little more responsible ...
