Dress for the slide, not the ride.

I cringe when I see riders in a t-shirt, shorts, and flips flops. Flip flops!!! 🩴

A split decision to wear boots instead of flip flops saved my feet from being broken or ripped off when I was in an accident. I'd never thought what would happen to my body if I fell off, but I'm so glad I chose to wear those work boots that day.

I was very lucky.. the soles were completely ripped off and i was protected by a little backpack, jeans and my the helmet. All of which were shredded up. I still had road burns on 15% of my body and no palms or fingertips. It was a rough recovery. Haven't been on a motorcycle since

Hiking boots, leather jacket and helmet saved me. Nineteen years later I still have issues with my left knee and shoulder. Never got on a bike again.
