Some people just quite simply think that it will never happen to them. Shame he had to find out the painful way. I'm sure he'll now get some gear.

Re: Always wear yer ferkin leathers. Graffic images.
OK helmet ...yes
Leathers ... yes Boots ...yes gloves ... yes but why the back protector? Isn't the one already in the leathers enough? I am not being stupid, but surely it will not stop you to snad in half if hit a car or a road barier? |

Re: Always wear yer ferkin leathers. Graffic images.
As an aside to this, I noticed that they appear to be installing 'biker friendly' armco on a bend on the A5 at Rhydlanfair (between Betws-y-Coed and Pentrefoelas) after Padog bends heading north. The corner is a nasty one that tightens on south bound traffic. If you bin it, it's in the armco. Been a number of bikers gone in there recently, now the council seem to be putting in a lower barrier to stop stuff (bikers) going under the normal armco. Nice to see at least one council doing something about the risk.
Just for info, as the barriers caused a lot of Big ape's injuries.

Re: Always wear yer ferkin leathers. Graffic images.
Please correct me if i`m wrong but i`m sure a few years ago i was told that - if you come off at 30 mph n slide along the road if any exposed skin touches tarmac you will lose 1 major layer of skin per second, you`ve only got 3 major layers n then you`re grinding flesh n bone so when i see these guys in summer wearing only knicks n flip flops while riding it makes me cringe, idiots
