Ride safe everyone,

Bike cost me $6000 brand new (that's around 3300 pounds - I don't have the cool symbol). It is my only vehicle.
I never had the mentality that not wearing gear didn't affect others. I've known this even before I started riding. However, as I said before, it's a risk that I'm willing to take at this point. And it's not like I'm not wearing any gear at all, I am wearing a good riding jacket, gloves, helmet, and ankle high boots. I'll hopefully be picking up some textile pants in a few weeks.
