wasn't wearing any gear so nothing slowedthis spermdown. just a white t. [8D]

 

will do, man! i'll prob. do a post about them. i know quite a few other members who were interested in them but couldnt come up w/ any reviews or anything on this forum. so, i'll be getting them next week, and i'll take a few rides and let everyone know how they are, and what i think of'em. i just dont wear any riding pants, and i think these are a good solution.

 

I agree with the original poster that it makes me shudder to see people not wearing at least pants and a jacket of some sort along with a helmet, gloves and boots.

Have I ridden without? Yes, at times. I've also ridden drunk and I've also fallen asleep while riding down a highway at speed. I just don't think its a good idea.

I won't let someone on the back of my bike without a helmet, boots and jacket. Period.

As far as pants go, I recently got armoured riding pants and I wear them much of the time. I believe jeans are okay for much of the time, too. I've fallen off several times over 30 years of riding and I find denim provides not bad protection against road rash for medium speed slides. Only armour is gonna help for impacts, though.

I don't mind the silly folks that ride bikes in shorts, sandals andt-shirts too much. But it bugs the hell out of me when I see them with a kid or woman on the back without adequate protection.

 

+1 on the passenger w/o adequate protection.

 

Believe it or not my friend almost died because he didn't wear a jacket. The one time he didn't he was hit and went down. While he was at the hospital healing up his road rash lead to a sepsis infection. I heard something like 60% of people who get that infection die from it.

Well anyways he went into a coma for 22 days, and lost like 30 lbs. Kind of surprising though he broke his collarbone, his hand in several places, and suffered 3 fractures to his pelvis...and his road rash ended up almost being the cause of his death. So think again before u say "road rash heals and chicks dig scars."

 

i always wondered about that...if MC cops prefer not to gear up.

 

^^Don't use them as role models, they need flexibility for quick movements that you and I don't necessarily need (some use gear specially designed for flexibility as well as protection).

 

The cops around here wear short sleeved shirts (gloves, helmet, boots..) when they ride. Most cruiser riders wear sunglasses and wifebeaters.

Jackets are smart, but riding smart is the best defence. I'd ride naked before I rode like alot of punks I see that re all geared-up. Don't let a little leather think it will save you in a crash, yes a jacket is smart, but it is in no way better than good safe driving.

 

I have those, i wish i could make them tighter my skinny chicken legs barely fit them.
