First I want to apologize if this post spits HTML all over.  I'm =
accessing the system from home and I don't have it down yet.

After 4 weeks, I'm finally getting back into a normal routine - work =
included :(   I was actually getting use to not going to work in the =
morning and enjoying it ;)  Too bad I couldn't get a laptop and a cell =
phone so I could work in the pool.

Anyway, this experience has really opened my eyes to the importance of =
safety equipment.  Even though the high side generated some massive =
trauma and deep internal bruises (due to the lack of shock absorbing =
padding) the equipment keep the external skin in tack.  Not a single bit =
of abrasion or road rash, and due to the full face helmet no scrapes on =
the face either.

Now every time I see a fellow biker riding down the road without a =
helmet, or even with a helmet but in shorts and a tee, I think crazy =
man.  Although I'm one to talk, because I too gambled the odds and wore =
less than adequate clothing (although I've always wore a full face).  =
Alot good thin clothes are gonna due me if I slid down the pavement =
going 65 MPH like I did at the track.

I hope that anyone out there who reads this understands that I'm not =
passing judgment, I want to save you butt (no pun intended).  I am now a =
firm believer in good leathers and padding no matter how hot it may be.  =
That one time will make all the difference in the world.  I want to =
share this insight with my bretheren in hopes that I my spare someone =
the pain of losing skin.  To have to deal with the internal pain is bad =
enough.  If you get all scraped up to it will be exponentially worse.

Keep the shiny side up and keep on truckin', er bikin' :)
