I really was not thinking of skilled riders like
luv, sheepofblue and Baketech when I posted earlier. Rather, I was thinking more about the squid trying to get a knee down in downtown Minneapolis, much like downtown New York City.
With that said, when I ride with my one piece leathers, I don't bother to remove the pucks only because it's a pain to R&R compared to leaving them on. That makes me lazy.
I think the odds of getting hurt by leaving them on are miniscule...except for that one time at band camp with
Baketech.
