grass rash
I hit a curb at 50 on my Honda Sabre back a few years now....
Got cut off (imagine!) and decided the grass looked better than oncoming traffic....or the asshole that cut me off.
Two things came to mind immediately...
1.) Helmuts work.
2.) Leather does not guarantee anything.
I rolled for 50 feet after I hit the grass wound up in a nicely mowed patch of lawn. I still got the rash up both arms cause my sleeves were welded up into my armpits.
Also...the jacket came un buttoned (prolly not if it was zipped), and consequently got some rash through my shirt up my back and side.
I cant imagine dropping it on the street.....asphalt seems much less forgiving.
