Bikers argue:

“It’s too hot to wear all that.”

“It’s too restrictive.”

“I’m a good rider!”

A good helmet, jeans with leather chaps, boots covering the ankles, and a riding jacket with thick elbows and shoulders and armor will give protection. You’ll look amazing!

Finally, because you know the first thing you always do when you fall is stick out your hands, wear gloves.

Dress for the Slide, Not the Ride!
