All valid points on gear. The question I get all the time is isn't all that stuff hot? My reply I always, it's better to sweat than to bleed. Beautiful Aprilia.
The big thing about modern airbags is the fact they immobilize your clavicle, they inflate to immobilize your neck...its not so much impact protections like people assume, its basically taking the place of hans devices and keeping you from snapping/breaking your collarbone and bones in your neck....which is what used to be the major injuries. Thats what paralyzed Wayne Rainey. It used to be that after every crash guys would break thier collarbones...that is what the airbag is actually preventing. On gloves its the palm that is important...the knuckle protection is more for show than anything else...yeah, they offer protection, but its your palm that impacts... Love watching you guys on the sportbikes vice just the Harleys!! Enjoy the cool riding temps!!!
when an air bag inflates, its like a floater.....why dont they just make something like a floater made of styro, so it wont be very expensive like the air bag....LOL
Great hear recommendations

Thanks Buddy. I should definitely get myself an airbag.
