There is no way around it man. If somebody goes out in a leather jacket, leather pants, or a one piece with gloves and a helmet and not boots they are not wearing proper gear to an extent. I will admit that it is foolish to go out riding with a t-shirt, basketball shorts, and sandals, but the way you stated your argument made it sound that if anyone went out missing just one piece of gear that they deserved to go down.
The guy in the story was missing leather pants and boots, which probably would have saved his leg, but tell me, when was the last time you have ever seen anyone ride in full leathers around Virginia Beach?
I must have said it wrong. What I ment was, if someone goes out with just shorts, shoes, shirt and lid then falls, don't bitch and cry because they got all torn up.
If someone goes out with all the right gear, and it still happens then I feel bad for those type of people.
