MORONS! in jeans

Sean, what is up with you fools who think cotton weave garments that shred and tear at 15mph and open up skin to the delightful ravages of pavement constitute appropriate safety gear for more than walking? Doing 30mph in jeans let alone 90 or 100 in 'dirty' environment no less is asking to get ripped open and spend some quality time in the ER getting legs put back together. Helmet and leather jacket is fine and I can't see what kind of chintz-ass boots you might or might not be wearing.

Wear some semblance of protective gear next time! Or do us a favor and dispense with the lid since your brain clearly isn't worth much and the jacket too. 600 supersports are supposed to be ridden by squids right, so do it right and wear cutoffs, t-shirts, and flipflops.

Re: Protecting my investment

The jeans were Draggin Jeans, the chintz ass boots are a $300+ set of BMW motorcycle boots, the gloves are a new set of Pittards.

Re: Protecting my investment

Oops, scratch that, the jeans were a pair of 501's. I guess I was probably too drunk or stoned to remember much of that ride.

Re: Protecting my investment

and I've personally shredded and torn Draggin' jeans worn under full length ballistic overpants with GP armor in them. Yes, through the Kevlar. Draggin' jeans don't cut it. I've also lost flesh clear to the bone and the sleeve of the jacket looked scraped up but was otherwise intact.

How the @**% did you do that?

This is an amazing post. How'd you do it? Were you riding a motorcycle at the time?

Just kidding there, of course, but it's one hell of an accident that rips through ballistic armor and Draggin' jeans, not to mention flesh "clear to the bone."

People routinely fall down at speed wearing Aerostiches and just have a seam or two to get fixed.

Did you guys put the microphone IN the bike? Those videos scared the crap out of me. Some folks hear racetrack sex appeal, I hear my neighbors giving me dirty looks. Mean, like lawyer like. Like clam it or pay, bike dude!
