Default Wear your jackets kids....or end up like this. Very Graphic!!!!!

I cant quit looking at this pic....makes me feel better about riding around in leather all the time

It's a seriously gross pic, no it doesnt show anyone dead, and no it doesnt show any nudity.

Don't know that a jacket would have prevented that, but it probably would have looked less tasty.

Guard rails are bad news for motorcycles.

I am afraid to look. I still have nightmares about the pics I saw of the motorcyclist who got chewed up & spit out between the wheels of a semi.

I feel like at 30mph it at least would have helped the situation. Guy wouldve needed full armor including kidney pads to prevent it.

Ok I looked. Definitely a scary wound, dude was lucky he lived. But not as bad as unrecognizable bits of meat and intestines strung up and down the road.

Its bad enough that it makes my stomach queasy, but not that bad cause I want to keep looking at it.

One look is enough for me. I will also be wearing leather this weekend instead of mesh/text.

People always give me shit when I wear full leathers (back protector, full length leathers, boots, gloves, helmet, earplugs) even when it's 100 plus degrees.

Picture posted proves it over and over, again and again. Wear 'em. Physics wins out every time even on those "little" 30 mph slides/wipeouts.

There's always a few chuckles when I and other people show up with jacket, gloves, boots, and helmets when its pushing 100 and 90% humidity. I really dont care. They claim theyve never laid their bike down but thats usually because they're just riding from quick trip to quick trip.
