Wow, a left-turner strikes again. Glad to see you're riding again. I guess there's no way to be 100% safe, but like you, I do what I can to reduce the chances of an accident. I read the book "Sport Riding Techniques" by Nick Ienatsch, I really liked it, learned a lot, I believe it's made me a better rider. I bought it on Amazon for $20. I view riding as a worthy calculated risk, I recently broke 3 ribs playing hockey, so sh*t can happen anywhere,.. Cheers!
Thanks MC You mentioned you went 'down hard' previously, was it a high-side, or other type of incident? The reason I ask is that i"m curious about incidents/accidents and how they occur so they can be learned from. cheerz -Shane, 2015 Kawasaki Versys 650 PS: I ordered the same air vest as u have, its expensive, but cheap if it ever needs to deploy..
Hi MotoChooch Thanks for the unboxing video, it's very helpful in making a decision about the Hit Air vest. I liked your gear video also. Question, where'd you get your vest from? They seem hard to find, even on the internet. thanks in advance
Many different models of motor cycle jackets (and horse riding jackets/vests). Manufacturer website is www.hit-air.com with a full world wide distributor listing on the home page.
99% of the cruiser riders in my area have no gear at all, and very little clothing. The sport bike riders wear at least a helmet. My friend rides a naked and has most of the gear recommended IMO. Interesting to see how the classes of riders react to safety.
TheWiredX Yeah, this was one of my first videos and I was still learning the software. I think I got it normalized now with the newer ones. Thanks for watching!
I'll check that book out too, thx

Shane P. Check out Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough, the Ride Like A Pro DVD and A Twist of the Wrist II by Keith Code on TH-cam :)
You made this video during 2016 - this is 2019: what is your judgment about the vest now, after 2 years of use?
Still wear it every day. It has faded though. Not as bright or vibrant as it was when new.
Thanks MC

Boggles my mind that people don't get safety gear and ride in shorts, tee shirt, and helmet. Saw a dude once with hiking sandals. SMH
