We were always a bit "tepid" about gear. Then we had occasion to go down hard. With the gear on. Glad we had it. Never ride without a helmet again.

We trudge on.
My wife is an ER Nurse, I've heard plenty of story's about the guy or the couple who were wearing shorts tee shirts and the wrong footwear. Those are sobering story's

For the brave of heart only, google flip flops on a motorcycle, it is very graphic. You'll never see me without proper footwear on my bike.
