or some sort of leg protection
to fit a 30" waist
not sure what i need, i think leather pants would be good but any sort of protection would do
must be extremely cheap as i'm only likely to use them once or twice a year (i normally just wear jeans when commuting)

My old leather pants are about the right size. I'll send you a pic. Not sure what they're worth.

dude, buy some Cordura pants, then you can wear them thru-out the year and protect yourself from all sorts of crap, plus should the worst happen.. jeans won't protect shit. Spend the money, save yourself from a few years of skin grafts. TradeMe often has a selection of good stuff like that, often for a hundy or less..

commuting for me is 50-60km/h an hour all the way so not really worth shelling out for expensive gear, i'm just wanting a pair of leather pants for maybe $10 -20

k, your legs.. but it only takes one driver to ruin it for you.
I cringe every day at watching a moped rider in shorts and jandles. Must really have no idea about what can happen. I know you have jeans on, but still, it only takes that one time of half a second, and that's it for the rest of your life.. Don't mean to bang on about it, but it's so over-looked at the horrible things I've seen..

Mitch aint a "him", hence why I've no problem with the leather pants being paraded.

So, you've never fallen off at 60 km/h, then? :nono: It hurts. Even at lower speeds that that it hurts, a lot. :eek:

Incidentally, because of the cost of skin grafts, a good guesstimate for the value of your skin is about $150 per square cm.

Have you looked in Cash Perverters? I bought a pair there really cheap (less than $50).

I fell off at two hundred and something wearing leather jeans over my Levis. Actually, they were Dads leather jeans. They were absolutely fucked but other than a couple of nasty impact grazes, I was sweet.

Could'a had something to do with the fence slowing my progress somewhat however.

They're better'n nothin'.
