You can sure say that again Typical Harley mentality, and spelling skills, just because your on a 700lb tank doesn't mean you are any less likely to get smashed by a unobservant motorist, or for that matter hit, or hit by a deer. God knows those things aren't know for there incredible stopping performance. Falling off a bike is falling off a bike. no matter what type, brand, color, or size it is. it all hurts and Road Rash sucks no matter how you slice it! BUT it is your right NOT to wear a helmet, BUT when you fall and your Grey Matter is thrown all over the road, dont get that shit all over my bike! it's ugly and crunchy but thats something i don't want on all over it.
