Wear your gear! - Page 2

Those of you that wear jeans, wear these underneath... do not underestimate what a 20 hunk of plastic can do. they keep kicked up rocks off you and will save ur knees if you go down. or if your like sum of the guys i ride with. if you drag yur knee, youll only rip your pants. GET THESE IF YOU RIDE IN PANTS!!!!

I was just looking at those hatebreed...I cant afford pants right now, and dont want to get 1 pair and wear all the time, but those I can wear everyday with a diff pair of pants...now the search on ebay continues

Won't you still rip your pants if you drag knee, since you are wearing them under your jeans?

the ones I got while I was in Vienna were similar and I wore 'em over my jeans as they were kind of uncomfortable under the jeans and dug into my skin...

yeah but not ripping the skin on your knees is the point. we dont intenitnally put our knee down without leathers but its happend.


yah i dont wanna buy some 100 dollar riding pants either so i wear them. ebay is over rated i bought mine on kneedraggers for like 17 bucks..

I was actually looking at them on motorcycle-superstore...ebay they were the same price so why not get them direct....was just hoping to find some differnt ones on ebay, but no luck

Wear your F*CKING gear!!! I just started riding with a kid who just picked up an 07 600RR for his first road bike. Has ridden dirt for years. His "riding" ensemble consists of:
 
-Hoodie
-Helmet
-Cargo pants
-Etnies? (whatever those low top skater shoes are)
 
Showed him my back (which it's been about 7 mo's since the wreck) and got him to get a jacket. I have no clue what I'm going to do get him to get gloves...
 
Guys, please ride safe this year.

Yeah that's some gnarly rash.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't always wear all the gear.  I've always worn jeans and boots so there's nothing to change there, my gloves are inside my helmet and my jacket is next to the door.
 
Still doesn't matter, if I go down it's only going to be a varying degree of road rash.  I know that.
 
I guess my point is - I can't fault anyone for anything they choose to wear or don't wear, and I don't judge people on it.  I do however consider you an idiot if you drive in any sort of populated area, or any type of performance riding without a helmet you're a complete tool.
 
Rash heals and chics dig scars...
 
P.S.  I think if you don't have some type of rash on you, you've either led a life that would bore me or you're really damn good, lol.
 
P.P.S.  I don't want rash like the guy in the video, FWIW.

^^^Hope you had a good woman with you when that happened, Woody.  That's some hard shiite to clean by yoself!
 

 
Nice scar though - and tell me, now that it's all healed, isn't just kinda cool... ?

Sorry for the THREAD JACK!
 
Funny you ask about the woman. She's a great woman, but we just separated three days ago! Umm, it would've been impossible, at first, to take care of by myself with the other injuries I had but after about 3 days I was able to bathe myself and manage around the house. I couldn't dress the wounds though. And I couldn't drive a vehicle for about 3 weeks. And when I drove, I was using my left foot (auto trans only) with my right leg in a cast slung over the center console of my Blazer!!!
 
Now that it's been several months, it's still clear something bad happened to my back. I figure it'd be a great conversation starter when I'm at the beach/pool!! I haven't seen either since the wreck. I'm not insecure about it at all. I'm sure it'll work more in my favor than not.
