if your brain is scattered across the pavement, well brains aren't something people need r.e. transplant organs.
I know several people who would benefit from a brain transplant.

Some of them might even benefit by being the donor....   ;D  (But I'd feel sorry for the recipient.)

I have always considered my Family more then myself in regards to ATGATT.
I only preach when asked if I'm "Hot in all that gear", or "Are you afraid your going to crash?".
I have "The Love Question" always ready for that poser and his girl, and being the smartass that I am, I have no problem with the "I didn't ask you to pay for my gear, so what is your escuse", or "I'm sorry, but my psycic friend put me hold this morning".
I really have plenty to fire back with, but it is kinda funny how 6'3 and 245 lbs, bald, gray and a go-tee, I just don't get asked much anymore. I wonder whats up with that ?.
Ride safe all, and please ATGATT, I bet someone Loves You.

ATGATT here.

Three years ago, my primary protection was a doo rag and a pair of fingerless gloves.  I tripped on my driveway screwing around with  my toddler grandson.  Did a face plant.  It hurt.  The light came on!  I figured if my 3 mph accident skinned me up like that, I bet a 100+ mph one would really hurt.

Bought the gear.  Wouldn't even think of riding without it.

I've felt for some time that the best answer to the "Are you hot in that gear?" question was: "I've always considered myself sort of average, but thanks.".

Now I need to see that whole movie again.

I remember watching it in the theater back in the mid 70s.  Laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

I tell people that ask me that question that I'm not nearly as hot wearing it when riding as they would be laying on the Texas asphalt in their ripped off t-shirt.

I used to get, "You look hot in all that stuff!'... reply would always be, "Why, thank you!"  ;D

Then they would change the statement to a question, "Why to you wear all that stuff?"... "I'm allergic to asphalt!"

I'm a big believer in MOTGMOTT..... When anyone tries to impart their beliefs onto me without being asked it will **** me off to no end and generally make me dig my heels in if for you other reason than it's none of their business! Ride your own ride and shut the heck up.
