You'd look really silly riding a 125cc bike with full leathers on when it is 85 degrees out and 80% humidity.....and sweaty too.

Maybe Curval, but you look stupid with all the skin torn off your body and paying $1000.00 a square inch for skin grafts.
Wag more, bark less.

I have had a few accidents on my bike.  Road rash is quite common in accidents here...but we don't have highways and our speed limit is about 35mph.

Road rash or muffler burns are called Bermuda Tatoos.

Nobody wears full leathers here...ever.

Yeah you'd have to be really unlucky to need skin grafts after a low speed spill off a scooter.  However.....I've watched that vid twice now and I still can't tell ya what Bermuda looks like, I simply cannot not keep my eyes glued to the road surface as you're riding along.

You've been here, the road the leads out of the estate gets covered in shed branches and crap from the trees lining it.....I ride along there without daring to blink in case a branch has come down in my path.

P.S.  Make Sam spin round in bubblewrap first, the mess will be so much easier than explaining to Lana why your child has gravel rash.

All 3 of my kids have ridden on the back of my bike throughout their lives.  If they didn't they wouldn't get to go anywhere.  When they were really small I had to put them in front of me because they had a habit of falling asleep.  If they were in front I could make sure they stayed awake.

I take Casey to school every morning on the bike these days.  It's right next door to my office.
