Usually I dress up properly but that day it was something like 34C, so I kinda said fuck it - Was only a short ride anyway! Other than that day, I always dress up ? Link to comment

I've been there, matter of fact! ? Had a non-serious motorcycle accident maybe a year and a half ago back on a different bike, rear wheel just slipped out from under me over a hidden drain cover in the rain and I pretty much burned my knee to the point it was black and had no feeling in that spot - Still don't! Got up and walked away though, so since that day I've pretty much ridden properly geared. Link to comment

Significant impact can be done at any speed, but studies show fatalities are usually around 30+. So, whether you're on an R125 or a R1M, that gear could save a tonne of road rash. In regards to fatigue, that's why it's important to take regular breaks and hydrate. As the age old saying goes; "dress for the slide, not the ride". Link to comment
