What really grinds my (riding) gears.

[frostbyte]

I took a Chevy Truck head-on on a bike, and went under it. If it were not for good gear, I would not be typing this. The helmet that I didn't skimp on kept my head in-tact when it hit the crank pulley of the motor. The back brace kept my spine in 1 piece as the tires ran over it. My pants with knee pucks kept my knees from breaking. My overpriced carbonfiber knuckled gloves kept my hands from being ground to the bone when I got hung on his hitch and dragged at 60MPH.

Amen, its not always about you knowing your limits and being a skilled rider. Sometimes there are idiots that play on the streets as much as they play at these local meets acting like morons and not paying attention. No matter how careful you are you can be hit from any side because some kids dad bought him a new toy that he has no experiance driving...
And also maybe god put this random thought in your head because your not paying attention to his plan and ignoring it and now hes saying put your gear on fool i got a bigger plan than scrapin your face off the interstate! Or maybe he just farted who knows....
