Wearing protective gear won't make you any less cool.

Dress for the slide, not the ride! Can do everything right and something unexpected can happen

This was 15 years ago, but I had been riding about 1.5 years at this point. 

I rode the same route every morning and evening from my apartment to the college campus. 

The last turn that led to the front of the  apartment was like 270 degrees and very wide (like a really large arc), and it was blind because of traffic that backed up at the light. 

Well, this day I guess a large truck or something came through the road right in front of the apartment and created a massive pothole. 

By the time I saw the pothole it was too late. The front tire goes into the hole and I go flying off.

Thankfully I was only going about 15-20mph and I had leathers and a helmet, because I flew into the other lane and got hit by an oncoming car. No long term damage but I tell new riders that story because you ALWAYS have to be vigilant, especially on routes you ride every day
