I had my first crash today, been riding for 7 years. ~50KM/h highside from the street car tracks. Happened extremely quick. No drifting or anything, it was a split second. My tire bit back very hard. I got up, and walked away without any bruises. My knees feel okay considering I hit my knees on my handle bar then I landed on them after flying over the tall SMC. My knees would have been shredded without armor and pants. The tourmaster flex pants I was riding with still look good.
While a crash is always bad, I look at it as a positive experience. I was rewarded for all those sweaty uncomfortable days in my equipment. I was taught a crash is absolutely unpredictable. I knew I would crash one day. I always thought it would be when I ride like an idiot, not a stupid high side on street car tracks. I was taught armor is extremely important. From now on I am riding with my downhill knee armor which is much better than what my pants have and it stays in place better than pants armor.
My SMC only needs two bolts replaced
I fully agree, everyone should be free to wear what ever they want, but no has the choice of when they crash.

Hope everything is ok
Glad you are ok. I got hit as I stated before, no gear, I was fineI had my first crash today, been riding for 7 years. ~50KM/h highside from the street car tracks. Happened extremely quick.

Like you said, people's choices, no one has the right to come in here and look down on others
Considering the ever-lowering standards North American governments apply to any sort of motorcycle regulation, it's always amusing to hear people cry FREEDOM! The same people don't want to be criticized, tough titties. Freedom of speech. Or doesn't that count if it upsets egos?
I stil think it is bandit - what am i missing? the one hugh is riding has rizoma/similar blinkers and different mirrors
Nevermind - I got it. Friend of mine pointed out that tank is wrong for bandit and it is likely cb1000
Right back at yaa on that freedom of speech comment
why is Dr. House looking down and what's with the 2 hands all 4 fingers grabbing.
Just because they don't have gears doesn't make them a squid. My definition of a squid is one that in addition to being gear-less rides like a maniac endangering themselves and others. This rider in the far right lane looks to be riding non-aggresively.
I remember my first day of motorcycle traininig at Humber college I wore padded motorcycle pants. That was the only time I've ever wore motorcycle pants and I think when you ride more you'll get a feel what gears are appropriate or not depending on your riding behaviour.

Well, after sleepless night - I found it. He is not riding bandit or cb1000. He is riding Yamaha XJR1300 - another cool bike we don't get here:
