Don't even think about dragging your knee while wearing jeans [roll]
Road rash is nickle-sized and not photo worthy, but then I can't imagine this level of instantaneous damage all over my butt, hips and knees from an actual get-off...
I'm going to feel like such a squid until I get some some decent lederhosen. :-\
So, was it worth it? Sometimes when I ride, I have a tendency to start putting me knee out( I don't know why-I'm not riding in a matter to constitute it). Then imagine something like you've explained, but much worse.
Same here. I'm not going that fast, and there's just one particular corner where I have even triedâ€"the problem is that I was sticking my neck (knee) out for it. Gone through over a hundred times with plenty of room, so I decided to try with both cheeks off and... knee made more of a collision with the ground than a slide. [bang]
at least the road didn't grab your jeans and pull you off the bike :)
otherwise... why were you trying that in the first place?

road rash sucks....
no more wearing dickies on a ride
[puke]
when wearing jeans i wore icon armor underneath.
hell put your jeans on ebay for 200 dollars... genuine Ducati-torn jeans.
When you post the jeans on ebay, just mention that your blood formed the image of the easter bunny or something, they'll sell with no problem.
