Leathers

[OB_VegasDude]

I wear an aerostitch suit. A lot of people just wear what your describing....aint it a shame. My rule is dress for the "fall" and i dont mean time of year.......hehe : )

What if you wear the best most expensive shorts and sneakers money can buy?

1.)You can then buy the most expensive skin graft money can buy!

2.)You can go to the Soviet field hospital at the Akrapovic factory if you use their pipe!

3.)Watch Speedvision from your hospital bed!

4.)Wish you bought that Harley you were looking at, before you bought the REAL BIKE!

Just curious any of you guys squids? Aka ride in shorts and sneakers.Or does the majority wear gear ?Caught a glimps of a squid on a crashed R-1 and I`ve never seen flesh look like that.Eyouuuuuu.

TEEE HEEEE Ha Ha Ha!!!Kawabuser you got that one right, fitch, not even close to funny.I've seen that sight and it's a damned ugly one.I too ride for the fall, i've never been down (thank god)had a couple of close calls, but if it ever happens, i'd rather ruin a $600.00 (and on up) set of leathers than face 10,000.00 in skin grafts.To hell with shorts and t-shirts(no matter how expensive),I'd rather Ride with the proper gear."FITCH" i'm not saying you do this so don't get torgued here, just throwing in my opinion.It might be a little expensive and it might be hot(when it's a bit warm out),but so is the pavement.Like i was saying before, i've seen this and i think some of the other guys have too and most of the guys here ride with the right gear, for those that read this(and you know who you are)that don't,get some riding gear.If you ever go down, you'll thank god you made that investment.Well, i think i've sadi enough, ride safe everyone and have a good one.

Just bought a set of Teknic 2 piece leather that color match the bike with armor. Usually wear a jacket and helmet when riding (we don't have a helmet law here in Kansas) Will start using the leathers more now since I took the Star School for riding.

Boy , you guys would be so much fun to drink beer and bs with, how have I ever survived this long without you fun loving guys in my life Ill never know. You guys make people want to do the opposite of what you say just for grins. You guys are so smart and fun I could nearly poop.

In my work I get to try out a lot of great kit. For what it's worth, I've been riding the Hayabusa in Swift one piece leathers with armour in the back, shoulders, elbows and knees. I also use Dainese Pro-tech one piece with a Dainese back protector, and hard armour in the shoulders, elbows, knees etc.
Most serious riders in the UK cover up to ride. Even the sharpest-eyed rider in the world can be T-boned by a dozy car driver.

Well I`m glad to see most people who own this machine also have some common sence .Alot of kids around here wear shorts and sneakers with tanktops and I just cringe when I think about it , usually there also the ones doing wheelies by me and wanting to race.Hmmm can I beat that fzr 600?
