Jim Bucklin was lucky. Doing a ride with a few friends in Arizona, he crashed his Ducati (that is sad enough) and flipped over his handlebars landing on his head and left shoulder followed by a boulder. Had he not worn safety gear, he would have died. This video shows the importance of having proper gear when riding.I have been riding for 15 years and consider myself experienced. I NEVER leave without a helmet, armoured jacket, gloves and some form of protection for your legs (jeans, leathers) and boots. Ride safe and ride smart
