    I dont know about you guys, but i dont believe in all this leather, cordura, jeans hogwash.......
    i only wear the best whilst riding....

    honestly guys, in any off the circumstances are different every single time!!
    i try to wear the best equipment i can afford at the time, but i still dont expect to be bulletproof. but rather minimizing damage to most areas if not preventing injuries ie. roadrash


    just my 2cents
    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    Are you sure the Jeans you have are real Draggins ? ?

    Because ive crashed at 20-50Kph in Draggins with no damage.
    And at 100-120kph with no damage.
    And at 200kph plus with no damage.

    And the Jeans still look new ! ! ! !

    That's hard to believe Crazy Steve. They are denim jeans with an inner kevlar liner. If you went for a skate at 200km/h on a road I would expect the denim to be ripped to shreds.

    During the 1914 - 1918 Great War the Royal Flying Corps used the same logic. If they equipped their flying officers with parachutes the cads wouldn't fight to the death and more valuable flying craft would be lost...

    There is also the theory that a great big shrp spike mounted in the center of every steering wheel would reduce the road toll

    I wear draggins, I dont think leather would like water, mud and crap soaked in it all the time, Be bloody heavy too! Armoured codura jacket.

    My last oops, wore the zip off the leg of my codura pants, wore a boot clip off my gearne boot and some burn/small hole in the arm of my ixon jacket.
    I dug feet into the gravel as i slid off the road so as not to go thru farm fence! Oh smoked the arm and arse right out of my rain gear!

    No bruises or broken bones, grand damage to the bike, roadside repairs to get it ridable to get home.

    Accidents happen, don't ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!

    Crazy Steve..
    At 200 kph was it raining? Or were you riding on an ice rink?

    Just got my first pair of kevlar lined jeans. I'm working on the theory that anything is better to commute in than standard jeans but there is no way I'd do anything other than pootle around in them. Cordura for the rainy days and leather for the days I want to wear the sides out of my tyres.

    Lets put it this way - which would last longer under attack from a grinder?
