Went down at around 85 on 635 in DFW. A buddy and I both were swiped by an suv jumping lanes. I was wearing a riding jacket with a spine protector, gloves, helmet, jeans and boots. He was in a tshirt and jeans with tennis shoes. He looked like a bloody avocado afterwards and spent a day in the hospital while they picked asphalt and gravel out of his back, arms and butt . I had bruises and a limp. Each to their own.

Man, when i just look at all the dead insects on my helmet i really wouldn't wanna ride without a visor, rip those guys

Had a car drive into me two months ago, boots absolutely saved my right foot. My frame got dented but I only got off with a swollen foot for a month and no fracture. Absolutely recommend good gear.

when i first started riding i only wore a cheap helmet, alpinestar bionic armour and basic leather gloves with standard jeans and workboots, i lowsided at 55kmph and that was when i learned full gear is important. now i wear a full jacket, gloves with sliders, a nicer helmet aswell as riding boots and kevlar jeans. currently my gear is worth more than twice what my bike is, i got my bike 2nd hand for 600AUD, my gear is 1500AUD

Very accurate video. Ive been riding for almost 50 yrs. These days between the pot heads who smoke driving, the idiots on their phones and civilization pushing no brain deer to every road, you better damn well wear good gear.

[cataclysmicdelta]

snell is no longer the best standard, ece 22.06 is. snell was originally created with car racing in mind and the methodologies are flawed, it focuses on shell rigidity and singular impact protection but does little to factor in lateral or angular impacts and actually prevent concussions and brain injuries inside your skull.

Good callout on earplugs. Earplugs are key. When I first started riding I never wore them because my bike wasn’t loud, then I started getting swimmer’s ear. I wear them now and my hearing is okay.

I just passed my test and now I see this prefect timing Yammie

"Tested to military standards" makes every military member, current or vet, laugh their ass off.

[zayndeez]

Haven’t got the bike yet but you’re a big help on what I need

[motomuto]

I keep a pair of earplugs on my riding jacket at all times. I have my earplug case attached to the pocket flap. Yes it looks derpy but I can still hear.

[gabedemichele]

These videos are always good reminders. Thx Yam!!

[vincentkenton]

Perfect timing I'm looking into getting my first bike!!

[GeneralPanobi]

I wont do moduler anymore. Buddy went down two weeks ago and it snapped open. He is good, just a broken nose and a couple cuts (9 stitches total) full face is the only way I'll go. Gear also saved him from further injury. Gear is definitely worth it

[apox]

12:47 if you can afford full gear, get your girl some gear too

[bslack]

Totally went down on my dirt bike and broke my foot and got "road rash" on my left forearm. Heading towards that ATGATT lifestyle on my road bike

[stevesmith]

Forgot being seen. High vis colors and white helmets do more in saving you than a lot of things. Be seen stay safe. Way too many people in all black. Ya I know it’s cool

[RollWithSoul]

Getting bugs in the mouth is not a pleasant experience unless you’re into that sort of thing!!! However, I do wear half helmets but only when I’m doing slow practices with cones in my backyard! The one piece of gear that I notice a lot of to riders don’t use is the earplugs! It’s either earplugs now or hearing aids later!!! I won’t leave home without them. I love all of my gear and it looks killer! Thanks for this most important video. 👍

I never wore earplugs... eventually you wont hear loud noises anymore... or the quiet ones.
