Safety...first word that can be hear and see everywhere in the world..but some riders dont take it seriously.Well,this people arewhat i call a kind samaritan who volunteers to donate part of their organs to charity in case they met with fatal accident..
Initially,I use to wear slipper during rain just to avoid my feets getting smell of the socks when wet,but the stupidity of it was that slippers is rubber and slippery...and defeat the purpose of wearing it..might as well i barefoot,rite?
Further to slipper,sandal or the croc style...recently saw this couple at Gelang Patah Esso petrol kiosk (as matter of fact,many of the riders in Singapore) wearing jus a slipper and short pants...I respect this rider and pillion, whom i believe must have a very thick skin and a very strong bones...but....
When accident happens, then only they got to wear that special armour cast (kena cement here n there lor) with special two big wheel at side (wheelchair)and they have that pathetic looks and even some dare to say accident due to race or cornering...RIDICULOUS!!!
So to all bikers out there,wearing safety riding gear doesn't guarantee 100% free injuries,BUT minimise the worst to see..
extract from bikers quote: SPEED have 5 words,so do DEATH...SLOW have 4 words,so do SAFE...Burn rubber, not your soul, baby...
Safety doesn't happen by accident.
