God! I'm just SO glad I don't have nads......!! In fact, I'm lucky cos I have motorcycle airbags instead ;o)
No, but *ime* he wouldn't be in any more pain. The broken bones/internal bleeding/whatever will always be the most painful thing, and will always be the thing with the long term effects. Not wearing leathers just mean you'll have a few grazes.
What, the armour will have a few grazes too? Seriously, leather & armour is great, as is not having gravel rash, but Ben's point is valid - in a serious prang, it's not going to make a huge amount of difference. However, I've never had a serious bike prang, but I have had dozens of non-serious ones, and the ones when I was wearing leather/armour were always much less painful.
Fucking silly little keys. Fucking disobedient fingers. Eh? I could have just made a really low-tach phone call (as if my preference).
Anything north of Watford is Yorkshire, except for Yorkshire which is Scotland. Though I tend to be sceptical of anything beyond the North Circular.
Anything South of Milton Keynes is Suvvern munkyland. They have strange ways there, and like to drink water that's already passed through 10 people, or something. Then there's north of Sheffield, up there it's like one giant Hovis commercial. The only sane place is halfway between the two.
