I never leave without my helmet, my gloves, and my jacket. All these are my protection and is a must when leaving the house. I have a cousin who died because of motorcycle accident and as to the witnesses, he was not wearing his helmet. Should he have worn it, that could have prevented from happening. The jacket I wear to protect my skin from the sun and dust, as well as my uniform from getting dirty. I went one time without a jacket, and the heat of the sun I could bear, but I was so ashamed of what my uniform looked like. Real dirty because of dust./
