I too never understood why guys on cruisers won't wear proper gear. My dad told me when I was young that skin is the first thing to hit the ground if you wreck. That made an impression on me at a young age. I don't wish any hard to cruisers, but is your ego that big you throw caution to the wind? It's not just the bikers you have to worry about, it's the idiots that don't see us that can change your entire life.
