If you recall correctly, my friend Emma Bass got into an unfortunate motorcycle accident caused by a large truck trying to skate across four lanes of traffic. She was a little bruised and busted but came out okay. Since then, Emma has been outfitting herself with proper motorcycle gear. She wrote me to ask how I felt about my Icon 1000 Federal jacket, and now picked up one of her own. 
“Best purchase I’ve ever made besides my first motorcycle. It’s my first legit motorycle jacket and it’s ten times safer than any number of jackets I’ve owned before. Score!”
Well said, Emma. Plus, you look hot!

A lesson to be learned from a lovely lady- why you should wear a full face helmet. 

This is not an invitation to lecture the lovely Emma Bass- she kindly allowed me to post these photos to help educate y’all with some real life stuff. 

No, you don’t have to wear gear, a full face helmet, or gloves when you ride. You can get away with a DOT half helmet (aka skull bucket or skid lid) paired with shorts and flip flops. But please please please realize that cars and their drivers are unpredictable, unaware, and often aggressive

A Dodge Ram attempted to blast across four lanes of traffic right in front of her and her Triumph Bonneville, leaving her bike embedded in the side of the truck. She was traveling the speed limit (35mph) and was not lane splitting (it is legal in California). She is extremely lucky to have escaped with minor bruises, including this one to her chin.
