A full leather suite, issn't cheap.
PetriK said:i think those suits look redicilous... jeans, handgloves and a longsleeve will do it for me, theres not much that can happen on 150 m straight... its your responsibility that your scooters 100% safe...

The other guy moved over and cliped his brake lever and made the front tire stop instantly and catapult him into a cement wall at the pit exit. His bike was 100% safe and he was racing well but a freak occurance put him on the ground. Who wants to be sliding on your back regardless of how it happened and who's fault it is? The assumption that you prepare your equipment well and race safely is all the protection you need is stupid.

brookespeed said:I used to live in a state that didn't require a helmet. I would wear one most of the time. But I miss being able to ride without one. It's a completely different experience. Like sex with and without a condom. Risks come with everything. The best advice is to stay home wrapped in a giant protective bubble and eat very little food. Anything else must be stupid!

I have highsided at 90mph (150kmh)about 18' in the air, lowsided at 120mph(200kmh) and many times at lower speeds. So far I have never had road rash while racing and my equipment always allowed me to walk away. But if you like pebbles being pulled from your skin and the nurses using steel wool to clean the dirt out of your wounds then it is your choice. We all score different on an IQ test.
