OUCH!!!

Those riders you see riding in shorts and tee shirt could do with seeing this.

Brings it right on home when you see stuff like that. Doesn't stop people riding without the gear though. Dread to think what these US riders like Starboyz could end up like, pulling stunts in jeans, trainers and T shirts at high speed.

Worst case, long red line on the road

As the man says, everyone thinks that it always happens to someone else. The risks are always there, we all know that, but the right kit minimises the chance of ending up like the people in those photos.

What a supurb post, gear won't stop you breaking bones but they are easy to fix compaired to that little lot.

I've given my old kit away before rather than see people ride with out it especially newbies.

I think the Las Vegas extreme boys do show the aftermath of a few off's on the road, not pretty, but they still do it
