#407785 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 gotta ask 6 Years, 6 Months ago   what is the dig deal about riding in shorts? is it just because of the engine heat? seems to me if its for protection in a crash/drop if you wear pants to protect you you would want to wear a long sleeve shirt too right? but i can't tell you how many times i seen pants,boots with a wife beater on or even in other states no brain bucket. so really, what is the big deal??   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #407786 Jon D (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:gotta ask 6 Years, 6 Months ago   i wear jeans and a jacket all year when riding.. i value my skin and would hate to go through having stones picked out of my flesh. i have a nice mesh tourmaster jacket for the warm months   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #407787 javawave (User) Over 18314 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5716 Re:gotta ask 6 Years, 6 Months ago   It boils down to one thing, anyone going slower than you is a hazard anyone going faster is a maniac.

Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:gotta ask 6 Years, 6 Months ago   After my crash I am with Jon. The leathers saved my hide on that one and I am sure the mesh jacket with armor will in the summer. Dress for the crash you never know when.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #407800 JerryR (User) Ride it like you stole it Platinum Boarder Posts: 1054 Re:gotta ask 6 Years, 6 Months ago   Hey Smokes, I've actually been looking at the Draggin' britches. They look pretty good. There is also another company that has some leotards with armour to go under your pants or shorts, if you want Something about leotards and armour doesn't mix does it? Seriously, after River went down at 60mph or so and actually came out pretty well with his gear it got me to thinking.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #407801 JohnnyBravo (User) I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley Platinum Boarder Posts: 1768 Re:gotta ask 6 Years, 6 Months ago   If I was that worried about crashing I'd have a friend pull me behind his truck so I could practice sliding across asphalt. Stick to what you know, ride at safe speeds and keep your distance so you can see/be seen and you won't have to worry about much. Oh and don't ride with idiots or people with ADD   Logged     guns are meant to be shot Harley, not thrown   The administrator has disabled public write access. #407803 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:gotta ask 6 Years, 6 Months ago   javawave wrote: It boils down to one thing, anyone going slower than you is a hazard anyone going faster is a maniac. Everyone believes there opinion is the correct one. What ever your comfort level is the right one for you. i agree 100% on everyone has a opinion and they think theres is the right one. if im going to work i wear what i need to wear for work but if its just "me time" i wear pants,boots, and now that i have a leather vest that too (most of the time) anyway my work is super hot and if i wore pants to work i swear i would have a heat stroke in the summer. i was just asking cause i didn't understand the people that drill you on pants and then ride with just a leather vest on didn't know if i wasn't getting something as to protect your lower half and not the upper half   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
