And speaking of someone who owns sweet examples of cool BMW motorcycles!

My intention is not to be a troll, to disrupt or be rude.
My point is, many people go on and on at length about what safety gear is right, is enough, etc, endless debates on whether one should do this or that when on a motorcycle.
There are no simple answers. Motorcycles are inherently dangerous, and it is compounded with the problem that many auto drivers don't see bikes.
Respect of that fact can do more for your safety than anything you wear or install on your motorcycle. Also, there is no substitute for experience, something every new rider is lacking.
