As motorcycle racers and riders we never want to think about crashing. The harsh reality is it happens often. It’s important we learn all we can from the incidents and share the information with one another to spread awareness and help the safety equipment manufactures further improve. That is exactly what veteran racer and lawyer Ken Schwartz of St. Louis, Mo. does in the following videos after his terrible top-end crash in Indianapolis at the end of September. There is valuable information in here and it’s a great listen and share for any motorcycle rider. Gloves and spine protectors are talked about at length. If you have been down please feel free to share your experience and what you leanred.
