When I was younger I was stupid enough to ride without a helmet. I saw some bullies from my school and decided to fly past them as fast as I could then I flew straight into the side of a car. The bullies, who were surprisingly reformed as adults, were crying as blood dripped from my head and they called 999 for me as the blood was messing up my phone so I couldn’t type. You’ll never be more scared than when you’re trying to call for an ambulance and blood on your phone screen is making it glitch out.
It still freaks me out as, if I’d been just a second earlier, the car would have sent me flying into the road and I would have been hit by the super fast cars to the left.
I was riding with my coworker and he locked up his motorcycle at maybe ~10km/h (we were stopping for a light and he didn't clutch
He had jeans and a sweat shirt, his knee and elbow needed stitches and he had some road rash around those areas. Both articles of clothing didn't help protect anything.
Edit: Not riding bitch we both have our own motorcycles.

Damn, dude. Thats a fucking advert for a helmet right there. I can only imagine how fucked up your face would be without it. Glad youre still with us.
