interesting reason to wear all your gear, pics

ok, so here i am, late for work.... im moving along pretty quick, come up to a familar rounded 90* left hand turn. so i set up for the turn with my butt off the seat, my right knee huggin the seat, and my left leg hanging outward a bit. this is the end result :

YOU CANNOT DRAG KNEES WITH JEANS ON! IT HURTS! it instantly tore through my jeans and into my knee, rashing it up nicely. i felt it, knew that i was cut up, and continued to my destination. there was blood running down my leg and everything. so for anyone that goes fast and low, and thinks about hangin the knee out without pucks, youre asking for a hurting. wear your gear!

ouch! that looks painful!

Yikes!

Luckily, the Seca won't allow me to drag a knee before the peg drags. Good warning before I ruin my Dickies. That will change when I pick up my Kat Thursday!!!! WOOHOO!

Hey, I taught you to stick your knee out into the wind -- not down to the ground!

nice one.

i tore the front of my boot up pretty good last night making a left turn when a car came into my lane. i have to tighten up the turn REAL quick and ended up getting my foot stuck between the peg and the road because it wasn't positioned properly for that much lean angle. it scared the pi$$ out of me.

hope you heal up quick.
