I never ride without a helmet and never without gloves. Another rule of thumb. If ya got a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet. If ya got a valuable head wear a valuable hemet and on the gloves. If and when you go down usually the first thing to touch the ground is your hand as your putting it out to catch your fall. A good pair of boots is always comforting also. Ramcharger, i wonder if anyone is picking up on any of this?
