ORIGINAL: Bill918

I have always worn just a t shirt in warmer weather. After a recent bike crash that sent me 50 feet down the pavement, and having just put on my leathers due to it getting colder, I've taken a second look at protection. I bought one of those armor mesh jackets for riding in warmer weather. It is not Harley looking and says ROCKET in big letters on the back. I'm going to at least try to be good about wearing this, but I don't know how long it will last. F&CK all of you if you don't like my jacket.
Bill918, I had a similar experience and shattered my pelvis. That's what started me looking at safety protective gear. I also now ride with an armored jacket.

Never thought of it but I'm a SIT-KOB - Single Income Three Kids One Bike

As far as boots go, I like a higher one cause my pant cuffs keep riding up. I'd be more concerned about a good sole. Dis you ever put your foot down on a painted line and slip?

They do look a bit [sm=kissykissy.gif]

I love the term RUB...Rich Urban Biker.....Guess what. If you can afford a $20,000 motorcycle, internet service, and a computer, you ain't poor! And if your in the city limits ??????? UH-OH.

I'm a DINKTUB. Dual income no kids two bikes. I fear Urban areas.

I think the boots are ugly. If my friends wore them...I probably wouldn't notice...or care.

I don't mind them. If your going to invest good money on riding boots, you should consider a couple of factors when choosing the right pair. Comfort, 1st and foremost...If they are not comfortable, you will tend to leave them in closet to collect dust. Next ... slip resistance. They should have a good sole and be higher than the ankle for protection and support.

As for image...anything short of pink bunny slippers might not be so great for "image" so to speak...but, to each his/her own! Who cares what anyone else thinks...When it comes to comfort and safety, as well as looks ... The only opinion that matters is your own!

Hey guys, I haven't laughed this much in a long time especially at my expense. Guess I deserved to get flamed with those Peter Pan boots but hey, wouldn't it be cool to be able to walk on a ceiling? LOL! I think I'll go back to my tough looking engineer style Harley boots. You never know when you have to kick some a$$.

ok...streetrunner has made the club...welcome bro...anyone with skin that thick is welcome with me

Didn't Austin Powers wear those in the second film?

Glad you re-thought the "Euro" look.
