Funny story... Was at a wedding this weekend and talking to this girl at my table. Cool girl, she rides a dr and she was showing me these pics of a friend of hers that she took. Friend went down and she took some pics... The pics from that article. Turns out she's friends with the hell for leather guy and I recognized them from that post.
Offhand if you're wondering why some guy let some girl take pics of his rashed up butt... She also happens to be a eastern European model. And yes, she's hot. Haha

Perhaps a manufacturer should make a thinner weight leather armored pant with a layer of Kevlar fabric to tone down the Storm Trooper look of full leathers...
I'll be first in line for those as long as they don't cost a thousand bucks! You need to manufacture a pair, memper! Seriously, you think that men's jeans are thinner now? Cop a feel of some women's jeans. I might as well be wearing nothing if I take a fall in those! I'm wearing my leathers most of the time -- 'cept Thursdays, when I don't have anywhere to change...
and weekends...
and some evenings, like tonight when I went out for udon...
and...

I tried that. My cheek still stings...
OP: that looks awful, I didn't think rash from 35 mph would look that bad. I mostly ride like the guy in TFA, a fabric armored jacket and jeans or Dickies work pants. I should look in to knee pads and Kevlar.

35 is pretty quick when you're sliding on it. Ever crash your bicycle as a kid and get rashed up? And that was probably 15 mph...

True, but even with all your gear you can get make the beast with two backsed up on the street.

Ouch. Painful yo watch. Yes, no mount of gear can avoid such painful damage. But atleast it lessons it a bit and its because of that that I always ride with forcefield armor( under armour & knee and back). I really need to get a proper riding pants for everyday riding. This link is a wake up call. Thx for sharing.

Agreed. But you can't say that it is more difficult to get more make the beast with two backsed up when in gear vs when not. If the rashed rider had been in (over emphasis) 1pc suit vs jeans and jacket, he might well have still broken that arm. But I'd say no rash and probably no hole in the knee.

Right. It's like what I learned at the MSF. There's tons of factors that make our hobby/love/job/etc dangerous and its up to us as responsible pilots to try and lessen those factors.

Dude, I can design them. Just don't have the moola to make a prototype. But I can get a connect at Icon. Perhaps I'll try that avenue.
