They made a difference in our crash, my roadrash wasn't as bad as the wifes. And now she has to wear long pants on the bike.

I didn't "act surprised" by the gear nazi attack but i was surprised by the "jeans aren't better than nothing" tack the argument took. Almost every person I know rides with jeans 90%+ of the time.

Besides, how did I antagonize? I posted some pics and they came in with their gear or nothing attitude. I expected it but I don't see how I brought it on by saying that I make her wear jeans... I mean that is all I did initially right? First post; I mentioned this in the GF Gear thread... this is how my gf shows up to ride. I am by far not a gear nazi and will occasionally go with out my jacket/boots depending on destination, weather and type of ride but I had to tell her that jeans are mandatory on any ride over a very casual moped-like pace. Hopefully, things will change when she gets her own gear Fri. Kaneman reply; If she wouldn't go as far as wearing a jacket and some over pants I wouldn't even bother making her change into jeans...they're about as protective as a pair of cotton panties. This is my leg after a wreck, my jeans came apart as soon as I made contact with the pavement leaving my bare leg to slide along. Krabill reply; I was gonna say . . . you insist on jeans? They aren't really any better than the shorts she has on right now. This is exactly the order things started... and I caused this how? |
