kilted motorcycle?

[Fearnest]

Not to belabor the point, but, chaps lack protection in the place most you're likely to need it in case of a high-speed slide. We sell a lot of chaps and they're great for comfort but full "over-pants" are more functional and if you look into some of the abrasion-resistant fabrics can be quite affordable.

Just wait till a nurse takes a bristle brush and iodine and scrubs gravel, glass, bits of plastic, and assorted junk out of your backside.

Next time somebody talks about chaps you'll them exactly where they can stick them.

Oh, and about grasshoppers hitting your knuckles... Those hurt, but stones or road debris kicked up by trucks and cars slamming in to your fingers will shatter them like glass.

Ouch. >_<

You know, once upon a time I was a first responder (back in the days of the Caddy wagon ambulances)... funny how you forget things like really deeply impacted gravel and glass (unless they're coming out of you). Thanks for the reminders!

Guess I'll change the order of my next purchase - riding pants before the next kilt!
