I ride a Harley Davidson regularly as well as a couple of vintage bikes.  If 
you are hit by anything on a bike you are toast. No protection what so ever.  
Leathers may help a little.  Triumph's at least offer some steel between your 
body parts and a SUV bumper.  It is good that you guys are being careful and 
if the bike analogy works for you that is great.  I may even try it next time I 
drive one of the Spits or the TR3B.  I feel much safer in the Four, 250, Six 
or one of the Wedges for some reason. I hate looking to the left on a freeway 
and seeing the lug nuts of an 18 wheeler going by but the ride in a Triumph is 
worth the risk to me.
