Probably should wear your gear guys..

Mate - what everyone else has said. That's gotta hurt. Hope you heal up quickly.

I could think of easier ways for Tattoo removal

Been there done that! The tropics are a hell of a place to ride a bike. I did t-shirt, shorts ,and thongs when I was a young turkey, and after a couple [yes, didn't learn the first time] of nasty, gravel induced offs, and a visit or two to the gravel wound scrubbing centre, I changed my ways. Still got the scars on my forearms
I feel your pain dude, good drugs only go so far.
How's the bike??

[fimpBIKES]

Went for a spin last Sunday dressed in very similar attire so I can't preach.

Hope you heal up with no complications mate.

[MTBEERWAH]

thats just made me wise up,summer sucks,but pain is worse,

get well

[EVLZX]

I do it all the time shorts etc, don't go too far but I know it could happen anywhere.

[sharky]

So maybe wise up and cover up.
I'm self employed and can't afford a couple of weeks of to heal so its dri-rider,gloves and draggins for me

[Azrael]

Yeh i did that to my whole left side from the ankle up when my foot got stuck under the bike in a slide and i was wearing long pants and a jacket. Id like to say it didnt help much but i woulda been a lot worse with shorts an a beater on.
Hope u heal quick mate

Thanks guys, I havent been to look at the bike. The copper at the scene was surprisingly nice about the whole thing, but he couldnt tell me about the bike because in his words "I know fuck all about them mate". Im hoping its just cosmetic, but either way its as good a reason as any to do some mods to it now isnt it! Feel free to sugest ductails you think would look good on it And easy to install front ends too. Must be time for some USD fork action.

Anyway time for sleep, the drugs are starting working gain.
