" the faster you go when you hit the pavement, the worse your road rash will be. "
Although this statement makes sense, it is not always true! I, and my son-in-law have both went down at high speeds (100+ mph), and got up without, so much as a scratch! On the other hand Toolbabe, and my step-son have both went down at low speed (10 mph or less) and suffered severe injury's. Toolbabe broke her left wrist, and needed 3 surgery's 2 steel pins, metal plate, and 32 screws. My step-son broke his collar bone. You can NOT predict what is going to happen in an accident. Just hope you go "low side," and not "high side."
Also that little Kawasaki 250 Ninja I spoke of would do an honest 105 mph with my 250 lb butt on it.
