    Knee protection

    Think that would be THIGH HIGH boyo. Do they come with matching garter belt??? :sneaky: I have some lovely red tights for the cooler nights and mozzy armour. and my hospital socks with treads...that is NOT a MAGA hat.:cool: I have worn those tights under the riding pants on cool days. Tempted...

    Knee protection

    I used to wear the over the knee motocross socks which were great to avoid chaffing. One pair had small treads on the sole of the sock ....like hospital socks - could walk short distances in them ...instead of hauling on the big boots each time. I used to buy socks to pad up an order for free...

    Knee protection

    I've got lots of technical poly shirts and they serve me well but soaking a cotton tee shirt is very effect because it holds the water ....the poly does not. Cotton slows the transpiration holding the water longer.

    Knee protection

    Price point is a huge issue for me. There have been some rather nice name brand leather motorcycle jackets but always leery here due to rain and mould as well as being too warm. Asking $100...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Picked up a brand new Dianese summer jacket for $75. 🕺 Got out for a short ride today - felt weird riding without a jacket to get the new one. The new jacket looked "off" with the way over sized AirGlide pants but with the Rev'it light weight riding pants it's a decent combo. I need a thin...

    Knee protection

    The new Dianese jacket looked "off" with the way over sized pants but with the Rev'it light weight riding pants it's a decent combo. I need a thin cotton riding shirt for this hot weather. Maybe should keep the Schuberth C3...feels like a comfortable old shoe. Will test tomorrow. The new helmet...

    Knee protection

    Thanks - the Leatt gear is very nice. I was always wearing "attached to the knee" protection when I had the KLR650 going off pavement on occasion and with the VERY marginal brakes and knobbies street come offs were a potential. :sneaky: Now it's the wet season here, roads can be sketchy and...

    Knee protection

    I've slowly been improving my riding protection as I age and the improved gloves have settled that angst. More than I need but....any crash at 78 will likely mean the end of my riding. Now my concern is with the knee protection in the riding pants which really does not appear to protect in the...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    This Noraly wannabe drives me crazy. She natters and over dramatic for some stuff. She only has 28k subscribers. Good drone and doing hotels. I do like the bike she is riding after questioning her choice. But spectacular scenery - Rainbow Mountains - and China is blowing me away so another...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Noraly can travel the world for me as long as she's willing 2,000 year old city and a peaceful feel sort of like Japan - there is sense of the no kids problem…..China is aging very fast….but damn is it a modern, clean technological civilization …at least what we see I only touched China...
