Generally speaking, you don't die on motorcycles.
You die a few yards away from what's left of them.
Yes, I have had two bottles of wine. What the fukk is your problem

Was this gay?
It is not likely that this particular misadventure would have happened with an engine guard.
It's also a good place to hang hi-way pegs and lights.
But an engine guard is esthetically unappealing.
I'm guessing I'd better not take the same spill again,
hard to tell where the break would be this time..

Nice chrome engine guard w/ chrome hi-way pegs and a nice set of lights don't look bad at all.

Case guard I have on the Zook only just clears the motor, so wouldn't prevent foot damage.
Guard I used to have on the Harley would have trapped my foot if it had folded, so probably OK for a low speed or stopped drop, but maybe do more harm than good if I had laid it down at any speed, so I tossed it.
I think they are a good thing if they just protect the engine, but I don't think I would rely on one to protect me at all.

don't look too gay does it?
and like already mentioned, makes a great place to mount my hiway pegs. you know I never thought I would want a crash bar, but this one was on the bike when I bought it, I kinda got use to it, took it off once, and next day put it back on
