    1) basically when the bike goes down its going to land on its side, and if youre thrown over it in the opposite direction of the way it was leaning its a high side, if you fall in the direction of the lean its a lowside. high side crashes tend to be more serious but because mine happened at low speed (about 25 mph) and i was wearing gear, i was fine.

    2) jacket and gloves are a must. add pants to that list too, but jacket especially. get a quality one. teknic makes affordable textile jackets that have the armor on the outside “GP-style”, like mine, which makes me feel better, don’t know why.

    3) dont know about that one, sorry.

    Now I feel like a total noob… highside, lowside pretty self explanatory if I had of just thought about it… ( “and why does my gas pedal make the bike go slower?”)
