I’ve had four friends really mess up their feet in scooter crashes over the past few years, and here’s another story from Australia. Proper shoes/boots are just as important as a good helmet, and I’d rank gloves pretty high on the list, too. Get well soon, Darren!

isn’t his name Darren?
D’oh, I knew that. I’m a moron. Sorry Darren! Did I call you Dennis in Cincinnati, too? Probably.
I don’t remember you calling me Dennis, no. But those $3 24oz. Red Stripes at the Comet may be messing with my memory.
I’d add a good riding jacket to the list as well. Mine had scuffs all up the arms and back and I got an abrasion on my elbow through a shop jacket, armor, sweater, and flannel shirt. I don’t want to think about what I’d look like if I weren’t wearing it, considering I rolled a good three times at least when I went down. Same with the helmet, which has a big scrape on the left side.
Thanks for the well wishes!
Ditto on the Red Stripe.
There is one positive aspect of your crash, Darren, but it’s a secret. All will be revealed soon.
