I've been riding on and off for 11 years, and I've never gone out once without full gear. It's prevented a few things that could have been very bad. Your explanation still doesn't sound sane to me. You got lucky, and that's great, but it could have been a case where you ended up without any skin left to turn into a boil. Is losing all your skin a risk you're willing to take, too? I was once incapacitated for three weeks because I landed very unluckily after a crash and both my knees were bruised and almost all the skin was gone. I was wearing thick riding jeans and it would have been way worse if I was wearing regular jeans.
I wasn't trying to be an asshole, I just really don't understand people like you that come up with excuses how wearing nothing is better than being protected. I remember you posting years ago about how a car hit you and you stayed upright. You got lucky then, too. Your riding career may have been over at that point. A proper jacket vents beautifully. I have a Cortech I've never got sweaty in. And if your skin really is that bad, how have you survived track days? If a jacket makes your skin feel as bad as it does, how on earth do you ride around hard for hours without being in pain? I've done track days at Jennings in Fall. Moroso and Homestead in Spring. Florida weather is brutal, but a good suit doesn't feel any worse than walking around.
I just care a lot about people's safety when riding. I still think you're incredibly wrong, but to each their own. Good luck. |
