Thanks Brinnutz...but I haven't been that small since 9th grade. I am "inseamed challenged" but built more like a full back then a kicker.
No... there are no fringes!
Shredded Jeans...been there done that. I have matching road rash, one for each leg!
Safety above fashion... Absolutely!! I was just starting to really like the chaps and started wondering if I was the only one.
(thanks for the picture)
But I have to admit one unforeseen benefit is that the heat from my pipes doesn't burn the inside of my right thigh when I'm wearing them!!! So... That alone makes them worth it!!! |

Went down in jeans and lost the skin on both cheeks. No chaps for me!
When I read the title of this thread I thought it was going to be Englishmen on Buells. |

If you'ns need a good pair of jeans, try out the H-D brand jeans that are made with Kevlar in the butt and knees. I wear them every day to work at the dealership. They're very comfortable, have held up very well, are priced right, and look good.
After one pair of the Draggin brand jeans, I like the H-D ones MUCH better. |

Everything was dry, except my crotch. Of course I wore kahkis that day. Boy did I ever catch grief until I dried out.
Heh... that reminds me of an episode in a bathroom with one of my best friends when we were both vying for the same girls attention at a pub.
He was in the bathroom combing his hair and checking his teeth when I splashed a handful of water at his crotch so I could get some valuable one-on-one time before he could pester her to death with his ineffectual charm.
I paid dearly for it years later, though.
Revenge is best served cold because you can't see it coming. |

My favourite is announcing to a friend, when he's talking to a ladiy at a bar, that his "wife is on the phone", and "little Billy threw up, again"...
.. or "she asked if you could pick up pampers on the way home" |

DJ-
I did that to myself, again in khakis, at the LA airport. The restroom had those damn faucets that you push down the button on the top. It wouldn't keep running so I cupped my hands and pushed the botton with my thumb. It was like someone hit me with a garden hose. My wife was laughing her butt off while I was trying to conceal the accident.

I thought the same thing |

Aw, c'mon dj, you gotta' finish the story! How'd he get you back? 
Back on topic, I always wear my textile overpants. They don't cost that much, and they're super-handy. If it's going to be really hot on my commute to work, I put my khakis in the bag and wear workout shorts under the overpants, then change when I get to work. Of course, that might not be recommended if you work in a cube.

"How'd he get you back?"
Years later, at a birthday bash for him (I was footing the bill for everything, too) he came onto me as my homosexual lover when I was chatting up a beautiful woman. The more and more I tried to denied it, the more it really looked like a lovers spat.
He got me good. |

I can still hear him saying, "C'mon man, it's my birthday... it's my birthday, man" in an effeminate voice. Pretty scary stuff; he could bench 405 at the top of his ladder back then.
We go back a long way. He's still one of my best friends. |

Its Woody, and his faithful mount, Buell!
I am surprised this thing hasnt turned into a Village People / Judas Priest leather clad outing by now.
A hot byrd in chaps always gets my attention, I dont care what she is riding. |

4cammer:
I'm off today, WORKING TOMORROW ON THE 4TH (GRRRR) so I'll look into it for you then. They have sold pretty well where I'm at, so I'm hoping they become "core" merch.
How many other H-D dealerships are open on Friday the 4th? I'm curious. |

So if your wearing chaps what happens when your ass hits the pavement? Leather is great for abrasion resistance but most job loss injuries comes from impact not abrasion -- thus the need for hard armor around the joints and on the spine. Personally I would rather take the hit with something rather than nothing but a Fieldsheer riding pant can be worn over regular pants and has the abrasion resistance and impact protection to get you by -- for around $100 it would work.
Since this is a new rider I figured it was worth pointing out that there are some other considerations.
