Wasn't sure where this shot;ld go so it ended up under MC Safety.
How many of us that ride ATGATT and have two piece riding gear, jacket and pants and zip the two pieces together for their rides? I can say that I have never zipped them, how about you?
I ask because a friend of mine from down near Study Butte Texas was on a 1300 mile ride in Mexico last week with 4 or 5 others. My friend had an incident, (I don't know the details) ended up having a big slide down the road most likely feet first. He was ATGATT and ended up with road rash from his butt cheeks to his nipples all the way around his rather rotund torso. No broken bones just a really bad case of the rash. He said that if he had zipped his gear together that most likely he would have been fine or no where near as bad as he was.
