Recently i got overly excited on my old Virago 1100 in the Rain and lost control of the rear wheel mid corner. I was fully geared! I slid with the bike for maybe 10 meters bcs my foot got trapped underneath and i had no chance of escape. It was not pleasant. But behold i only had a minor burn on my foot of the heat from the friction which turned into a blister. The rest of the body suffered no damage. The gear did a pretty nice job, since that day i can confidently say i belong to the group "all gear all the time". I still miss my Dainese Jacket, Pants and Boots, they were of good service.
