Protective Gear? Well think about this.

That video is awesome. Such a cool trip back in time to 60s England. It sucks having to put those giant "L"s on your bike. We have the same thing here and they're colloquialy known as the "loser decal."

Guys, there IS another item of protection that is designed to save lives other than a helmet, and I wish it would catch on more in the motorcycling community as it would most certainly save many lives - an airbag vest/jacket.

It protects your neck and vital organs by enveloping your entire upper torso in a cushion of air in the case of ejection from the motorcycle. I have "field tested" one and it saved my tush. They can get pretty expensive but there are some more affordable options out there.

Well, no risk - no fun.

Proper gear is a no brainer, proper riding is just as important. Take absolutely no risks on the streets. Save the racing for the track. Show the utmost respect to blind curves. We have it tough enough out there.

It's pretty obvious through that video that observant rider rode a Matchless while the hooligan friend rode a Triumph. Don't be a hooligan.
