U do u. I do me. When it is cold i dress up for my early morning commute. Most people don't even ride year round. I do. Want to ride? Go ahead. Wear armor?sure why not? Dont want to wear helmet? No problem. Want to buy armor or not? All up to u. Does it help? It helps more than no armor. Is it worth the buck? Depends how much u got in ur bank account. It is all personal preference Backed up by years of riding and sliding.
Sometimes motorcycle enthusiasts and admirers can get too much fandom and stardom in their perceptive eyeballs to understand that folks like Ryan F9 are firstly influencers and secondly entertainers. This does NOT mean they are primarily INFORMERS of FACTS. That task (in any avenue of life) is up to the individual to determine for themselves where they get information and whether or not to trust that information, and no amount of fandom and enthusiasm for any particular individual should be allowed to cloud one's judgment of facts, truth, reality. That said, there are a lot of problems with Ryan's videos often, no matter how slick and trendy the production value, and this one in particular was very flawed. And fans get triggered. Why? criticism of Ryan's influencer-entertainment-based productions is attacked because his productions are often perceived as factual, truthful, well researched, authoritative and thereby you could only have one motive for intersecting the videos he produced: a personal problem with Ryan. That of course is ridiculous and unfounded, but is often the reaction people give. Here's a video form Bennett's Bikesocial UK based challenging Ryan's conclusions and decisions, going to his cited sources: /watch?v=NOJxubCS0wM
I don’t think armor matters if you know how to ride. Armor is for people that want the thrill of riding but are too afraid to embrace the inherent risk of riding a motorcycle . If you don’t like the risk, drive a car or walk. If you drive beyond your skill level that is the choice you are making don’t ask armor to do the work you were too lazy to do yourself.
So you wait for Ryan to walk through the merits of safety armour. Then use his traction to pull your weight? This is not a productive discussion you are having. Why not do your own research on the issue instead of how you “feel” about it?
That’s a great question. Perhaps it is one YOU would have to answer for yourself. I am answering for ME. As we all do, this is a VERY personal question about what level of safety versus comfort we can tolerate. I have on multiple occasions brought up this subject on this channel and Ryan simply brought a new dimension to the community. I chose to comment on that discussion. Perhaps you would like to add something to the discussion as well.
You hit the nail on the head. The armour helps with many types of crashes. I would hate to slam my knee or elbow on the ground without the armour.
Exactly... Nailed it.
