Vespa rider almost ATGATT...

[Stig / Major Tom]

Boots, gloves, jacket, helmet.....shorts -- when he spun-out on an on-ramp. Said he hit right about where the pad in his riding pants would have been.
He hasn't counted the stitches yet....

another "unforced error" in a single vehicle accident. Which is probably what most crashes are?
I know what I take away from that....

Sometimes the armored suit is a bit tough on 95°F days BUT...would hate to get stitched up like 3/8ths naked Vespa guy in the only naked area!

I need some new gloves....these not only are ratty but dey TINK!

I've been guilty of dressing like that, lately..everything but pants...I only do it on my scooters,, never on the bike.

And kind of like Karl, EVERYTHING I wear stinks! I haven't washed anything this year (riding gear)...they all have a nice 'funk' going on.

I recently used orange degreaser spray, good German detergent and a soft scrub brush to return my hi viz FirstGear jacket to it's near new brightness. These hi viz colors fade over the years - but the dark road grime can be removed I found.
Search goes on for a future replacement full hi viz mesh jacket now that  these are no longer available.

And that Vespa rider is a timely reminder to us all!
