22 years on the street with full gear ALWAYS!
i have ridden all types about and even to the store i suit up
crashed and totaled 2 Ninjas back in the day, one high side and one low side and i walked away from both without a scratch
the highside was 100 MPH and the lowside was 65ish
i know of people who were in traffic and at a light stopped and a lady bumped them sideways and crushed their ankle at a standstill, botts would have saved that prolly. accidents don't care if you are only going to the store
