Yes its warm, yes the breeze is nice, yes we know you don't want to bake in a full power rangers jumper, yes we know tat you don't HAVE to wear gear...

I would...

Yikes. That could make a good PSA.

When I see people riding around with little to no gear on, now I'll think of this picture...

that's brutal, it should be included as part of the material for every who goes for their riding license.

Taking a salt bath just wouldn't cut it.. Seeing this reminds me of the skin removed from my ass while bicyling when I was younger. Turns out you slide longer going downhill. Youch!!!! lol Ahh the memories. A few years later I burned my leg pretty bad on a CB125S. Leather or even good jeans probably would have saved me from a lot of pain. Lessons learned the hard way. It doesn't have to be that way for you newcomers! If you can't afford gear you can't afford a bike IMO.

That's completely true. I think that more often people decide not to wear gear because its hot and/or they think that it doesn't look cool. Although proper gear is pretty expensive too.

Another thing that is scary about it is even after you heal from this type of injury, you could be left with some pretty nasty scars. And I don't think that these will be cool looking battle scars either.

this is true, it will indeed look bad, another reason to not let this happen.
