Human Body Protection

Postby Ken's700 » Sun Jun 05, 2005 3:38 pm

What does anyone use for body protection?
Chest protectors in paticular.
And also anything else?, Kidney, handguards?

Thanks
Ken

That's funny you ask that question.


Dusty and I were talking about that getting gas on Saturday. Dusty rode with shorts and tennis shoes. I always ride with 12" red wings (winter or summer) and Army gortex long pants (winter = long johns underneath/summer = shorts). They don't get hot.

Last summer...going down winch hill #4..it's about 3-4 ft drop. My quad...was almost straight down, but it hung up so it didn't go over...I jumped off and fell almost 4 feet to rocks and hit my shin. I told Dusty the story...and then the scar I still have. I had long pants on (even though it was 80+). No telling what would have happened with the pants.

Anyway..since then...I've thought about picking up shin guards (like for soccer) or motocross guards.

Jack and Larry have handguards.....they're nice.
