[QUOTE="JPKII, post: 16795754, member: 12867"] I remember that guy too. Became a great advocate for car safety and gear. *After* he got AFU. Many years ago, when AMA Superbike racing was still a powerhouse, a group of us would meet up for the Road America race. About 20 sport bikes. We'd ride Kettle Moraine area for a while then head to the track. Well, one afternoon we all stopped at a gas station in Plymouth to fill up. I'm a religious gear wearer. So I'm getting all my stuff back on and one of the younger kids starts harassing me about taking so long to get my gear on. He wore none. We finish up at gas station and we all part ways. Later in the day we found out this same kid was doing a stand-up wheelie down a back country road. Set the front down, went into a tank slapper, and pitched him off the bike. No broken bones but gnarley road rash up his side and across his back. Later in the weekend I went to visit him. I asked him if he was gonna start wearing gear. A simple "yes". Knucklehead... Riding gear is like condoms and guns, I'd prefer to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it. [/QUOTE]
