YO Simon man, I know it gets irritating when you got not only one but two preachy ATTGAT ass-holes on your case about safety gear but I have no question that if I wasn't wearing gear (ESPECIALLY A HELMET) I would be one dead mofo.

Maybe on dirt or in parking lots, where the speeds are low it's okay but pavement travel is fast and the landings are hard. The pavement does not forgive like our good mother earth.

Ventilated mesh jackets are less than 100. What kind of helmet do you have?
