high side at maybe 80kmh - landed on hip, then flat onto back and back of helmet slid till my boots dug in and then rolly pollied for a bit.
How do you think you would get on in shorts? They'd be still finding bits 2 years later...
In my accident:
No Jacket? skin ground down to the backbone, shoulder ripped open
No Leather padded pants? Smashed hip and skin ground down - severe loss of blood probably
No boots - snapped ankles as the feet gripped the asphalt - probably losing a foot if not both, palms gone
Ooh nearly forgot, I fractured my right arm in two places and also the scaphoid in my right wrist and that was with elbow, shoulder and back protection under the jacket...
and this was at 50MPH
Next question
