Anybody that rides a motorcycle wearing shorts should see a "shrink"!
One fall at any speed will remove a lot of skin and leave lifetime
scars. Road debris can also puncture the legs. Dogs also love to
take a bite from any leg that it can get its teeth into.

Experts recommend that riders should wear full leathers. Sometimes
it's to hot but using very tough, light material can be substituted
for leather.

Foot protection falls into the same category as pants and jackets.
Riding boots should be worn at all times.

Novice motorcyclists should ride with a person that has been riding
for more than three years and more than 5000 miles per year. That 
way they can learn the easy way about the dangers of motorcycling.
