I respect those that wear no gear. I don’t agree with that risk but if they have the balls and the audacity to risk it all, by all means go ahead.

I also respect those that wear all gear for obvious reasons of caution on a dangerous mode of transport.

What I don’t get at all is the people that only wear jacket, or only wear full face helmet, or better yet, gloves but shorts and tshirt. Either you’re trying to be cautious or not, make up your damn mind.

There goes the ankle!
