Anti-SH1
Jsg was wearing the protection, because he was having his way with me.
The highlight of seeing him put it on, was the expression on everyones faces, TL had the most priceless look on his face - duc-girl just followed at a close second, a good kodak moment, but it must of slowed him down abit because I kept him in sight for awhile...

At the moment I have an Arless Ness and Spool Cordura jacket and pants, the dry rider suit from Motomail and my leathers. I needed the leathers for the kind of riding that was done yesterday.Originally Posted by crashe
I usually wear my leathers when I go on rides where I ride at *cough* 109kmph. The Motomail suit while commuting and the corduras for something inbetween.
How are you now? Hope you're all healed up and good now.

The thing was pretty awkward at first so I couldn't ride properly......
Then the wind tore it to bits so it didn't matter anymore.
So how's the bike? I've never ridden a big bike before so have no idea how it is - Why don't you tell us??

Yes Swanny I crashed doing bout 130ks in the rain slowing down too quick(for my skill level) for a corner and lost the front. I would have been doing about 70-80k when the front let go. I just rolled down the road for what felt like an hour then got up and walked off. Had I not been wearing my cordura gear with hard armour I would have had a dislocated shoulder, no nose, no jaw, smashed knee, smashed elbow and bruises all over my body.
Ask any biker who's crashed what they think of a good set of leathers and they will all say they're worth their weight in gold.

Well, simply put - fucken awesome - cant flick it around so no room for error, really have to know the road or read the corner to go in at pace. Acceleration is ballistic.

Plastic bags present a suffocation hazard. Children should not try this at home.

Mate of mine tried the same shit with black plastic rubbish bags - the guys following though the were being attacked by psycho crows as the bits of black plastic tore off and flew back towards them - and the guy wearing the thing never realise he was even losing any of it until he stopped for gas and found he was wearing nothing but a necklace made out of black plastic!!!

Looks Like a hunchback wearing a condomAs mentioned here some of us had the distinct "pleasure" of seeing a full sized motorcyle riding condom on our ride yesterday up North here.
Thank you JSG for the best eye watering laugh of the day....Sir,you've been blinged!!
Thanks Zed for the evidence mate
Hardcore Biker
that was some good laugh alright, bet there's more wacky stuff from this guy we don't know

Yeah except this wasn't a plastic bag. It's one of those waterproof jacket and pant sets you get at K-Mart.
I guess the winds get powerful at certain velocities.......:eyepoke:
Funny thing - I only noticed it as we stopped for gas and the guys pointed at my leg - I looked down to see I was wearing white plastic gaiters

Why would you bother, when the Warehouse has heavy duty waterproof leggings and jackets for $9 each? Which certainly don't tear apart at speed.And are completely waterproof. And don't look stupid.
Just get them extra large (or as many x's as you need, they come in at least xxxl I have that size , and I think xxxxl) and wear over leathers or whatever.
Has left the building
Guess ya should've tried the Warehouse and got yaself a bargain sir
...and they day you get to them you'll know

Yeah, a gutfull of beans and burritos has been known to create winds with sufficient velocities to wreck a new pair of Y-fronts - or so I have been told!!

Lol, now thats bloody funny.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
JSG - As we must be all tidy kiwi's.... did you go back down the same roads, after you discovered that it (plastic jacket and pants) had ripped and torn off you and went and picked up all the bits of plastic that you left shrewn all over the road... or did you leave it there for the next unsuspecting bike rider to slip on.......
I do hope you did go back and pick it all up...
Thanks for asking how I am doing after my wee off.
I am getting better slowly.... got most of the bike bits ready to be assembled back on the bike again...
So by the time this damned leg brace comes off I shall be ready to ride the bike again.
