O, Woe is me!!
Armored jacket, gloves, full-face lid, then shorts and hiking boots!
Arms are worth more than legs, I guess.

Ooooh! Do they have padded ones that will be comfortable when shifting in Flip-flops?"Stupid is as stupid does...."
Reminds me of the little shifter-peg bootie-covers I saw at the checkout counter at Cycle Gear this week. You slip one on your shifter peg so you don't get your fashionable white designer skateboard shoes dirty. No need wearing boots so your feet are protected in the event of an "incident".
You're correct. I just found it amusing the picture on the product package was of a white skateboard shoe and they appear to be marketing it to sport-bike riders.Those shifter covers might be useful to some of us.... especially those who ride to work and wear brown shoes - or those of us who choose hiking boots and don't really care to have a big black mark on the top of our left foot. You can be ATTGATT and still find those useful.
Um.....tmc. Just In Case you're serious about this (I can't tell), don't do it. I've seen the results of this in a crash - where no other body part was injured. Not pretty..... especially those who ride to work and wear brown shoes
Oh, and the rider in the picture is a doofus.
No wearing brown shoes? Or being a doofus? :huh:Um.....tmc. Just In Case you're serious about this (I can't tell), don't do it. I've seen the results of this in a crash - where no other body part was injured. Not pretty..... especially those who ride to work and wear brown shoes

Make it a pale blue and you're good to GO!So wait, can I wear a blue shirt, khaki pants, brown belt, and brown shoes?
PS: I already know I'm a doofus, there is no cure.
Your tarot cards are working well today. I AM wearing pale blue!Make it a pale blue and you're good to GO!So wait, can I wear a blue shirt, khaki pants, brown belt, and brown shoes?
PS: I already know I'm a doofus, there is no cure.
btw - your fashion sense can't be TOO bad if you can spell khaki correctly. (AND you know it's a colour! )
Me thinks it is because the pain from road rash from the waist down takes longer to register in the brain than pain from the upper extremities (like maybe .1 milisecond--DUH). So why bother with covering the lower body. :blink: .Come on, I see worse every day on HW 30. There seems to be a lot of folks (usually young guys) that think it fine to wear their racing leather jacket on their sports bike together with shorts and bare feet in flip-flops on the way to or back from the beaches on Sauvie Island. Those are the guys that don't get waved back since the only response I feel reasonable to give would be the single finger...
I know that's a rhetorical question but I can't help myself.....So why bother with covering the lower body. :blink: .

again, my head reels tonight. . . . it just feels NAKED without them.
Yes, I know. I was being facetious. I wish all riders wore protective gear, but most choose not to. It is hot and humid here on the east coast of NC, and I am getting tired of answering questions about why I wear gear. Most riders don't understand and non riders don't have a clue. I even wonder if most people know why seatbelts and airbags are in cars. :angry2: . Oh well.I know that's a rhetorical question but I can't help myself.....So why bother with covering the lower body. :blink: .

Compound fractures of the long bones notwithstanding..... 2 words: necrotizing fasciitis (aka 'flesh-eating disease'). To name one potentially catastrophic potential ill effect.
