And remember to get your passenger sheep and thong for over your leathers...

Are you calling my sheep


j/k


FYI there is a LOT of debate on leather vs textile. However all protection is better than whatever is less Because of the heat I ride in mesh jacket and pants in the summer. I am fixing to change to a leather jacket zipped to my mesh pants (and I have full leathers for the track). This winter I want some leather pants but may hold out and use the JR Phoenix ones I have.

Re: Brand new to the biking world
yup keep working at it guys. It gets easier. I still have friends that ask how I can just go into a corner, even if its just a regular street corner the way I do. Its just simply practice. The more you ride and the further you lean the bike all you're really doing is rewiring your brain to get your arms to not fight each other.

Yeah, leathers woulda been nice... I needed to get somethin that could be used more all around though... Ya know bein a student the cash flow is a little tight... This whole purchase bout made me go broke... lol
