CBR600RR Crash

Some guy pulled out in front of me on the freeway at 80mph and I locked up my front brakes. Skidded/rolled for maybe 100 yards, the bike went for another 100.

Hey man, I may commute a bit on my bike when the weather gets right. (God damn PA) When I do I plan to get khakis as well, except that like my Draggin Jeans I ride with they'll have armor. Google up 'Sliders Kevlar Khaki 3.0 Riding Pants' I think the kevlar would have really helped with your current situation, knee pads are optional as well, I believe. (And take them out when you get to work.) Hope you get things sorted out with the bike. ,,,and I hope the damned cagers give you a break.

@AkumuX I checked out those pants, I will probably buy some. I'm also considering just getting some Icon field armor. Maybe both. Thanks!

[kawakocher]

Glad you made it! What kind of pants? Just jeans. Mine were (Joe Rocket) kept me from having any abrassions, but they had to be replaced.

@kawakocher Khakis...on my way to work. It sucks because I was looking at getting some if Icons leather overpants, those would have really helped.

[kawakocher]

@skyline44512 Glad to hear. I wear the Joe Rockets (mesh) over my shorts, jeans, etc. That way, I am protected. Yeah, it takes an extra two minutes and gets hot once I get off the bike on my way to the office, but I like the protection factor. Can you do that with the leather as well? How do they do in the hot?

[skyline44512]

@kawakocher You can take them off pretty easy. They are really hot, just like a leather jacket. I'd rather be hot and have all my skin though
