Riding A Motorcycle with a Kilt

[McMurdo]

I live less than five minutes from work, never get over 35 miles an hour.

I was rear ended by an old man in a car one day going to work I was on my motorcycle, I lived about 10 minutes away from work, he just did not stop fast enough, no damage to the bike I didn't even drop it, however it shook me up. The first time I dropped my bike I was 18 and I was two yep count 'em two doors away from home.

Probably still fast enough to do some damage though. Even then I do wear a leather or special jacket and full face helmet (the best money can buy). ...but normally I wear dress pants which do not offer much lower extremity protection - jeans would not be acceptable at the job.

When I worked at a place that did not allow jeans and I rode my bike in I had some clothes there, or would bring some clothes with me to change into once I got to work.

I guess I figure if I'm willing to take the dress pants chance - it is a short step away from the tartan.

Dress pants are not much better than bare legs, you are right it is a short step, however it's a step I am not willing to take.

When I travel to Fort Hood (100 miles one way) about once a week, I will chap up all over, and wear all of the protection I can.

Now that is a good idea.

Sorry if I sound a bit much but I have seen too many things out on a motorcycle, lets face it, the only protection you have out there is what you are wearing.
