So i have been riding for about 2 years now and bought my new 2005 r1 earlier this summer. I have been riding it all summer. Well I met this dude that i have been riding with lateley. He goes to track days all the time and he has been helping me with my technique and making me alot faster. Well we went riding this morning. I had on my leather yamaha jacket and some jeans and he had on a full 2piece racing suit. Well we were pushing it up this mountain pretty hard. I was leading and i got into one corner a little hot so i leaned the bike on over and bam, I drug my unprotected knee on the ground. It was something i really wasn't expecting. It scared the crap out of me. I guess i was going alot faster than what i thought. I rolled out of the throttle the rest of the way up the mountain until i got to the top to look at my knee. My knee was bleeding a little and had a quarter size hunk of skin missing. This was kind of a bitter sweet day because i had always wanted to drag my knee but i had planned on having knee pucks on. Man im telling you it hurt like crap when that happened. Needless to say i am in the market for a suit now. Just thought i would share this story with yall.
