yes you can even get an MRI for only 400Kuai......compared to 4000 usd crazy...

imagine if you were not wearing a helmet....i have one...comfortable but i use mine with my gas or electric scooter...its open face....for my XTR250 i wear a Fox because my head has too much shit it in i dont want to lose...and a lot i would like to...like that time....he he

I have to agree about the body armor comment...i was struck by one of the 10 million Wuling silver vans, it made a sudden u-turn in a small village...i was on my XTR ...i lifted up my full motorcross boot so not to be struck by the bumper...hit the bike instead...then went down....wear full body amor, which includes inner pant liner that has hip protector that stick out (more than a pad) a bit...which took the impact of the road surface first...no damage to me....shift lever bent to hell though...try to find one of those in a small village...where the chinese farmer bikes have big diameter shifters. ended the day riding
