I guess I am a wimp. I ride everyday and the other day was draggin' knee on my ZX14 at 35 degrees with a leaf covered road. With some warm gear on.....it ain't nuthin' but a thang'. Re: the sport bike vs. cruiser bike danger level........of the bike wrecks in my area, 1 out of 10 are sportbikes and 9 out of 10 of the cruiser bike wrecks are fatalities because they just won't wear gear. I am amazed at the 40 mph cruiser crashes wear a smacked knoggin kills them and sportbike guys go down at 80+ and just walk away. There are some lessons to be learned here. Now the young people riding sport bikes with no gear and haulin arse'.........I make no excuses for that.
