Most physical damages occur to the foot and legs during accidents.
1) Look forward, and nowhere else than forward, while the bike is moving.
2) Both hands on the handlebar and fingers covering brake and clutch levers while the bike is moving.
3) Rear pegs up while you are riding solo.
4) Exposed skin = Potential meat for the pavement.

Lol, I only abide by two of those. I always shoulder check or just take a quick look at things I'm passing and on straights where I know I'm not gonna stop anytime soon, I'll sometimes take my clutch hand off. Although if you want to get technical, MSF says to keep your hands around the bars for complete control. They recommended 'covering the controls' for situations like coming up to any intersection. *shrugs* Everyone's a critic on the interwebz.
OP: Nice pics. I'd recommend getting some riding boots though.
