Indeed, almost anything you do near a Harley may cause serious injuries or death, according with the Owners Manual

Smart man.

I have the Bohn pants. They can be toasty in really hot weather, but otherwise not bad. I'm looking for some good Kevlar jeans myself to complement the Bohns. I'm sure bettingpython is correct, so the jeans would help.

I have a RevIt! air jacket that works pretty good over a T-shirt in summer.

There are a ton of options out there that offer varying degrees of protection. I also have mesh riding pants, but I have heard they are about half as effective, if that, as regular ballistic nylon. Apparently the mesh can melt in a slide (ouch). That's why I like the Bohn/Kevlar idea.
