Subject: Back, but not in the saddle yet.



First I want to apologize if this post spits HTML all over.  I'm accessin=
g
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 morn=
ing
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 traum=
a
and deep internal bruises (due to the lack of shock absorbing padding) th=
e
equipment keep the external skin in tack.  Not a single bit of abrasion o=
r
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.  Althou=
gh
I'm one to talk, because I too gambled the odds and wore less than adequa=
te
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 t=
he
track.

I hope that anyone out there who reads this understands that I'm not pass=
ing
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 y=
ou
get all scraped up to it will be exponentially worse.

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