I mean if you're going to crash a bike at high speed, this is basically the best outcome possible.
STINKPICKEL
Wear leathers, sweat wipes off, road rash doesn't. Lesson learned the hard way. OUCH!
KarlNapf
bought textile a week ago. Sweating like a mofo as well.
STINKPICKEL
I went down wearing joe rocket airjacket w/armor, only bruised. But plain jeans tore and road rashed my leg. Kevlar rules.
KarlNapf
It doesn't melt from the friction heat?
vipe650r
Leather's always better, but textile's good for a slide or two.
KarlNapf
Always better? I was told it does not stand well in the rain?
vipe650r
Yeah, denim really isn't anything in a slide.
ModMarkG
"God damit!"
KyleFisher
Dress for the fall not the ride.
STINKPICKEL
Don't dress for the ride, dress for the slide. (is the way i heard it and shoulda listened)

You ok?
STINKPICKEL
Yes now,lol. Road rashed the left leg, hamburgered da knee. but healing well, no broken bones this time.

And racetracks don't have hard obstacles around them, which is what causes the most injuries in road accidents.

Don't worry, his suit is so thick he's going to walk away with only bruised pride.
nightster07
Imagine doing that on the streets wearing only sandals, shorts & a t-shirt & then you'll understand why some bikers look like power rangers.

I mean, looking like a power ranger is already a very enticing investment...

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we buy proper riding gear.
goobliscious
Hopefully that is not the real reason if you're riding in public. However good for you if you're running on race tracks. Carry on.
snaggletoof
...and wear it while riding.
texag10
... And push the limit on a track vs a public road. Runoff space and one way traffic are key in reducing serious injuries.
tallquasi
All The Gear, All The Time
snifters
My boss who got me into riding insisted i spend more on my gear than my first bike. 2 crashes over 50mph, 100% terror 0 injuries.
FutureRetroism
Nah man all the guys I see are wearing basketball shorts, t-shirts, and absolutely no helmets. Usually doing a wheelie too.
CPTNNemo
Amen. 2 days ago I fell 10m from home. Not bad or dangerous, gear has no scratch but imagining the difference if I had tshirt and shorts...
spacetimejockey
The friction is still the same, i am guessing something like that would get burning hot real fast? Am I wrong?
teawithoutmilk
Yeah but I'd rather get a hot ass than no ass
Burke616
That's applicable even without an accident.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
yeah it would, but it is the gear that is getting burning hot and ripped to pieces, not your skin
TheBalto
Yes. But your skin is still there, which is nice.
spacetimejockey
Of course.. my thinking was 'how hot'? Enough to get an n degree burn?
GunmanTheH
Problem is that if you fall on race track, it's just flat. If you fall on regular road, you gonna hit something before you stop
Iamthemonkeymansowhatevercats
As somebody who has slid at 70mph on a track with full race gear, that was one of the most painful things in my life. 1/2
Iamthemonkeymansowhatevercats
2/2 When I see people wearing no gear, I just think about how some other dumb rider who crashed will get their organs and remaining skin.
geekontwowheels
Ok so serious question then: how does the guy above not seem fazed by the slide? Better gear?
edgeofadhesion
Gear's decent, and Moto GP riders are absolutely mental.
edgeofadhesion
Just this weekend Marc Marquez dislocated a shoulder in a crash, popped it back in riding a scooter to the pits and carried on like normal
geekontwowheels
Ha! Awesome
Iamthemonkeymansowhatevercats
I flipped a shifter kart so I slammed into the ground and tumbled at 70mph. He's doing 40 and lowsided.
geekontwowheels
Well that would explain it! Glad you're alright.

All The Gear At The Track, right? Who needs protection on the streets?
Unquote
All the Gear All The Time though.
grico
Someone asked me if I was always cold when I rode my motorcycle, because I always wore my gear to work, even in summer. Exhibit A above.
Zoreena
I get that too. Sometimes I feel like a bit of an idiot when others are looking "cool". Then I remember I like my skin on my body thanks.
OverratedUserName
Also its easier to carry the rider away from the track if he hits the wall at +150km/h than swipe him away with a brush.
minombreeslechuga
This is the World Championship Grand Prix (MotoGP). He didn't buy any of it.
Mlarks
Yeah I love how it seems like he's just sitting still getting frustrated but he's still sliding unphased. That was great.
ElusiveThing
Aye. That gear isn't cheap, but definitely worth it.
MFWmyusernameisavailable
Everything is worth it, if your life depends on it xD But jeah... i agree with you
Frappo
That slide would've scraped his nuts clean off without that heavy duty butt armor.
TheTurboToaster
Definitely cheaper than buying a new butt.
Burke616
Money is the cheapest way to pay for things.
QueefMuncher
Holy shit, no way.
JustAnotherMemberOfImgurWhoDoesntPostStuff
I'd say four or five thousand in gear is a lot cheaper than the expenses of skin grafts and broken bones.
zshep
Ouch, sounds terrible
Pullmyfinger96
That would cost me 375
JustAnotherMemberOfImgurWhoDoesntPostStuff
Find me a 375 dollar leather suit with air-bags. My racing boots are worth more than that. My gloves cost more than half of 375.
Pullmyfinger96
I ment the skin grafts and bones
JeziBelle
So you can do a silly giffable reaction and not just be writhing in screaming agony as your flesh is ripped apart.
SumnerK
now if stupid kids would quit trying this on public streets.
thebakedpotat0
I cringe each time I see full squids riding around my city. There are so many...

... otherwise you are grinding your ass off.
FsImgur
I did that once in jean shorts and a t-shirt. Road rash on the ass yo.
BottleOfBuckfast
I always wear my head when I ride, although on the occasion I will admit to squidding every now and then
Hellstorm99
Damn straight! Road rash hurts like hell and leaves gnarly scars.

kcrvoxtano
So is he in any pain while he's sliding there, or does it completely protect you?
SixFootofFarts
He would have felt heat from the friction but other than that. Beezer.
DarkwingDuc
1) Nothing completely protects you. But I this instance, probably just a bruise from initial impact and some heat from friction. He's fine.
chamoiscat
Don't think there was enough impact for a bruise. He fell like, 2 inches
DarkwingDuc
2) FYI, these guys use kangaroo leather. It's thinner yet tougher than cow hide.
catsaregroundowls
My friend died in full gear because she bought the wrong gear and was an amateur bike person.
catsaregroundowls
She had shitty leather pants. She might have been suicidal anyway and not cared.
McFancyPants
Slamming into any semi-stationary object at full speed tends to make the type of gear rather unimportant. :\
Bravacado
A little harsh. Could have been ill fitting gear. Most people have loose helmets because they find properly fitted ones to be uncomfortable.
McFancyPants
I wasn't referring to this person's friend in particular. I generally see too many people riding/driving at speeds where any crash is fatal.
catsaregroundowls
She chose poor helmet, and nothing except a leather jacket.
McFancyPants
Ouch! Sorry about your loss :\
catsaregroundowls
It can be different levels of protection. Some stuff you can break a bone in but you skin is intact, so you are less likely to fall apart.
kcrvoxtano
Interesting. I'm sorry about your friend.
seekerrr
Had a 100mph+ carsh at the track. Very happy about my $2000 investment. Still in riding condition too. Worth every penny.
shadjih305
I too had a carsh
BananaForScaIe
If I didn't have a full face helmet I'd be dead by now.
Brokehungryandalone
Likewise or at the very least I would have had to have had serious reconstructive work done on my jaw.
SeimeinEngelSeimeineSunde
While living in MN, I was surprised at how many motorcycle riders just go wearing t-shirts, sandals & shorts.
dweadpiewitwobbits
I cringe because I have 2 cracked helmets and dozens of healed bones.
VivaLaSteeze
You see it all the time in AZ minus the sandals. Can't say I blame them when it's 100* but you WILL crash and it's gonna be a real bad time
teskadera
How do their sandals not melt into the asphalt when they go foot down at stops? D:
imhoots
Riding my motorcycle to class, I wiped out twice in two weeks while wearing shorts. I got road rash on my road rash. Not fun.
AffenSalat
well. it seems like you cant learn frim a mistake
imhoots
But I learned from two mistakes.
PartyPete
The sandals thing gets me. I get it on Harleys with rocker shifters, but sportbikes? Those shifters have to be sharp on the toes.
ShatteredUterus
People use the heel shifter? That is one of the first things I took off my Harley lol
PartyPete
Yeah but you probably actually ride yours instead of just trailering it to Sturgis.
ShatteredUterus
I'm from Sturgis. No need to trailer :P
Ashilino
seen that pic of the guys foot turned into a meat popsicle due to stacking it wearing shoes?...
ThatOneGuyPablo
Friend of mine laid his bike over. Foot peg went through his knee and the clutch lever through his hand
BigSecksi
I survived a pretty bad wreck with just a broken leg. I stopped to help a kid in a similar accident in jeans in a tshirt. The difference (1)
TheRevolutionist
I saw a wreckage (140+ mph) the other week, guy was in t and shorts, his bone wasnt in his leg. He was conscious tho, so he was pretty lucky
BigSecksi
Yeah this guy had a bone sticking out of his leg and terrible rash on virtually his whole body. He was conscious for a second. He walked 1
BigSecksi
but he was in pretty rough shape. I held him till the paramedics loaded him up, got his bike out of the road, and found his phone and 3
BigSecksi
over to me best he could and just collapsed. I caught him and went to the ground with him basically in my lap. I tried to keep him alert 2
BigSecksi
called his mom. That was the tough part. I lied and said he wasn't too bad so she wouldn't panic on the way to the ER. It was a rough day.
ThatOneGuyPablo
I want a riding partner like you
WhyIsThisStillEvenAQuestion
Damn. You did the right thing though.
BigSecksi
in injury was pretty crazy. Hope he made it.

Why ride if the slide is inevitable? How are bikes legal transportation? I love riding but the logic is inescapable.

Could argue the same with cars. While not everyone crashes, majority will at some point.. their fault or not.

LiquidLizZard
Of course you wear it for it's protective purposes. In all honestly i think it looks pretty much bad ass and completes the image as well.
Onaspaceship
But full leathers suck when it's hot out. Tempting to forego atgatt
WorkerLurker
I'm trying to figure out something for that. Needs an engineer and designer to look at it though.
COLONELSARGE
The water suits race car drivers wear. Small pump circulates water.
Hardalor
The logic I hear around no helms/bad gear here in Iowa is "Why waste the money? Any accident will just kill me anyways" ...
Bravacado
Which is absurd. A guy fell over at a light on his bike from putting his foot down on a slick spot. Hit his head and died. 1/1
Bravacado
If he had worn his helmet. He would have picked his bike up with only a bit of embarrassment. 2/2
rvcaptn
it embarrassing dropping a bike ive done it twice both at stops once in loose gravel once on wet on paint
chamoiscat
Which I'm fine with.... If dummies die from risky behavior then... should we care? That's actually good for the planet
Bravacado
I'd normally agree. But EMTs have to clean it up, traffic gets jammed up, and it sometimes causes property damage and other accidents. 1/2
Bravacado
Also, it gives us riders a really bad reputation with non-riders. One rider becomes the representative of us as a whole. 2/2
chamoiscat
Ya. Maybe if the roadkill removal crews did the cleanup instead of EMT it would be better. I don't identify with most other riders neway
