That's a very good point - until I crashed last November, I didn't truly know a) how slick 35* roads are or b) how little jeans help. I took it as a great learning experience, but it's definitely one I'd prefer not to have had - even though I ended up with only a scuffed jacket and a bruised hip.

I have to say, though, you did use a bit of a polarizing tone
