I am moving. I am packing sh*it up. I have too freaking much motorcycle gear to justify. Am I getting rid of any... no. I am dumping work clothes. As a geezer I intend to ride more than work. I do hope it actually works out that way. Anyone have any problem with full padded leathers? A ballistic Nylon jacket? A Kevlar mesh jacket with zip able insert for cold weather. ( the one I wear everywhere). I don't dump tools or gear. My woman.... She has issues. She doesn't realize if I dump one of the small or big bikes I will be messed in the same amount FUBAR. No I am not selling my leathers, or nylon, or Kevlar. You should not either if in this situation. Kevlar vs. giant make up cabinet for the woman (glad she can not see this) .... let me think.... Without my gear, no way I would even look human. Let me think again..... Partially human. What hurts is a different story.......
I have 4, one is at work that im trying to sell, one I wear everyday and the other 2 are old and do for reserves if my main one gets soaked
Four seasons.... four seasons of M/C wear. Most of my riding is done on full size bikes, but a good 40% in good weather is just local store runs on the scooter. Fall off at 30mph on a scooter or a larger bike.. damage the same, especially to hands and elbows. I still have my elbows due to proper gear. Wish I was as smart about my hands. I think she just wants the insurance.... She doesn't know since we are not married. My insurance goes to my Brother to dole out He is one tight bastard, and he doesn't like her. Oh well.
I always wear gloves, its basic instinct to put your hands out, I fell off my scoot at like 10mph and got a massive bruise despite my jacket
Yea, the gloves. My hands are a mess, not a casual mess, but a real mess. Gloves are your main protection. Pretty much why I have half a left hand. Wear gloves every day, no matter the temp. Buy kevlar mesh gloves if you think gloves are too hot. My left side of my left hand never gets hot. It got ground off, and is no longer there. Nothing doesn't feel much.
i had a hand injury at my old job, i was wearing gloves and smashed my hand into a steel plate undoing a bolt, if i wasnt wearing a glove, i would have lost all the nerves to my pinky and ring finger, the nerves are a little damaged, but it works ok ish. then last month i got "bitten" by the slide hammer, was taking an axle out and used all my weight, but my ring finger stopped the slide hammer, it swelled up so much and ive lost all feeling in the tip, i think it permanant, i was wearing gloves, if i hadnt i prob would have smashed the bone.
Damn dude! That must have hurt. Industrial accident! Damn! At least I was having fun when I messed up my hand. Damn things are important. You forget that until you mess one or both up. It is 9:30 AM here and I got the "shoo buddies". Hope I didn't post stupid stuff while getting the "shoo buddies". Not that I am worried. I am an ass at the best of times. "shoo buddies" are the result of being a drunken ass. From the timeline I was still posting at 5:00AM. My brain went off duty around midnight. A piece of my brain hurts, as it should after that much abuse.
I have three. A Classic '80s Belstaff leather jacket with the lancer collar, a modern Spada waterproof lined jacket and an Irwin replica sheepskin flying jacket for that retro look.
