Gabe expounds on why ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time) after his harrowing experience:
I was bombing up I-5 on a big-ass scooter of all things, zipping in and
out of traffic at 70-plus MPH when an SUV (Ha! you say. Serves you
right!) pulled onto the roadway in front of a car I was behind at the
moment I turned my head to change lanes. Car slows down, Gabe and
scooter do not. Crunch! I hit the pavement, sliding on my ass at about
60-70, feeling my butt get warm through my trusty Aerostich.
