I have a pair of draggin jeans. The denim is heavier than regular jeans and they have kevlar in the seat and knees.

Thaks for the tip - Draggin jeans looked better than Sliders so I just ordered a pair.

I am not hung like a horse so cant ride naked. I am more like turtle dick.

I have a pair from here called the Defender.
Don't know if they will REALLY work, but they are comfortable, and give the twins a chance to breath...

Armor can make somewhat of a difference. Why the sport bike guys all wear it. Kevlar is great for abrasion protection, but doesn't do a lot for impact.

Chaps and a good old pair of faded Levis.

And some good raingear for riding when it is wet.
