There are lots of folks here that scoot in flip-flops or sandals. Good way to loose a toe. <br /><br />On a slightly other note, I'm also surprised at how many kids I see in cars not in car seats. I'd thought everyone had got that memo, but apparently not. Oh well.<br /><br />Thanks for leaving a comment. I appreciate it.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511418214984130122.post-59370393480033734482012-03-04T18:38:38.546-08:002012-03-04T18:38:38.546-08:00Missouri has a helmet law, but Illinois doesn'...Missouri has a helmet law, but Illinois doesn't and it always surprises me when I'm in Illinois and see all the folks riding without a helmet. I wouldn't think of it. Of course, being a head injury survivor that should be no surprise.<br /><br />Bottomline is I agree with you totally, "Safer is better."<br /><br />Hopefully you'll be out from under soon and when you are, you ride safe, too.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511418214984130122.post-24179306121972227042012-03-04T18:34:37.858-08:002012-03-04T18:34:37.858-08:00I'm going to use that line!I'm going to use that line!Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511418214984130122.post-84176764498591290662012-03-02T12:07:22.707-08:002012-03-02T12:07:22.707-08:00Quality gear is vital.

When I look at recent pictures on Modernvespa.com of the gear worn by experienced riders who have suffered relatively low speed falls (in one case a diesel spill at an intersection, in another a deer hit the rider, taking the rider off his Vespa), I really wonder about what riders are thinking when they venture out in jeans, street shoes, windbreakers and skimpy helmets.<br /><br />I assume that they are smarter than me and have much better plans for not coming off their bikes.<br /><br />Who cares what others think! Safer is better.<br /><br />Ride safely Keith. I envy you your weather.
