I have ridden a total of about 50,000 kilometers, including my school days. Fortunately, I didn't have any accidents or falls during that time, and I only got knocked down twice as far as I can remember."Oh, this is bad!"It was the same two times.

Slope of the shoulder
When I was a student, I think it was on Shin Mejiro Street. On my way back home from school, I made a left at the end of a traffic jam where I couldn't slip through.We stopped at a point where the shoulder of the road was unusually gouged.It was.....
The bike was American at the time.I was.Your legs go slack and you fall down.This is the first time I've done this. There was no damage to my body or the bike because the place I fell was planted.
Downhill U-turn
Just around this time last year, I couldn't wait to take delivery of my Ninja 400.When I went to Hakone on a rental bike.。
as usualHot Springs in TenzanI tried to get into the building, but I walked a little past the entrance.U-turn from uphill to downhill:...... When I was about to make a U-turn, a car came in front of me in the opposite lane, startling me and causing me to swerve to the right.......

The past"Oh, this is bad!"
They both entered the right corner with insufficient deceleration:..... Oh no! I thought "Oh no!", but my eyes kept looking to the left (cliff or wall) and I couldn't complete the turn.
Right corner in Hokkaido
I borrowed an XJR400R from an acquaintance while I was on a business trip to Hokkaido for work. At that point, I was so excited to ride my first bike in several years that I couldn't complete a right-hand corner because I was going too fast. ........
By chance, the sidewalk was one level lower than the roadway, so I climbed onto the sidewalk and stopped with my brakes locked along the shoulder fence......
If it wasn't for the point where the sidewalk was lowered, I probably would have been thrown off and fallen down the cliff:........
Right corner at Chichibu
This timeTouring just after the returnI thought I was a dangerous driver, so I booked it.Skipping Riding School in Chichibuto.
sameEntering the right corner without enough deceleration.Fortunately, the left side was a wall. Fortunately, there was a wall on the left side, so I was able to successfully change direction by kicking the wall with my left foot......
It's a funny story now."I couldn't turn the right corner."is when I started working. At the time of the former, I was on the board of directors of a venture company, and I'm still the wannabe president of a small business, so if I had been injured here, the company would have gone bankrupt. ......
So, after this Chichibu touring, I don't ride my bike without a protector anymore. I was wearing it at this time.Schott641 changed to street wear and bought a leather jacket with protector.I've never driven with a jacket that didn't have a protector in it since.When I was on my way to a big bike lesson on a hot day before I bought my humble mesh jacket.Only. On the way home that day, I quickly got a mesh jacket with protectors that I wouldn't be embarrassed to show up for a training session.
The reason why I'm writing this article all of a sudden is because I read a blog by a staff member of 2Rinkan that came across my Facebook wall.
While sliding down the right half of the body. ”That's not as shocking and painful as I thought it would be!" But after dealing with all that, I looked again at what I was wearing...Link to blog post
However, I see a lot of light-weighted riders in the summer.
Right? No, no.As long as he's taking the risk on his own, this is no longer something that can be enforced, so he's free to do as he pleases.But when I see girls wearing short sleeves, shorts, or even skirts on a tandem (often seen on big scooters), I get super worried. I'm very worried when I see girls wearing short sleeves, shorts, or even skirts.
Accidents are not only caused by our own mistakes, but also by the mistakes of other drivers, so now that I'm an old man, I don't ride without at least a chest/spinal/shoulder/elbow protector for myself and my tandem.
Hey ..... You're missing a knee, aren't you?If you're wondering, you're in the right place........ I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have two types of knee protectors, but sometimes I don't wear them when I travel to work on weekdays..... I'm sorry.
