Another one bites the dust.

Wow and at such a slow speed too! Glad you're ok...that's the important thing.
This brings up a question? What pants does everyone wear? I'm always
in a jacket, gloves, boots, and helmet... but just plain old jeans. Suggestions anyone? Sorry to hijack your thread... again, I'm glad you're ok

It's an area where many of us cut corners.

I'm a believer in gear...and a survivor. Had a bad wreck in 1986; I had a helmet; and thick denim. It protected about as much as you'd expect - head okay, elbows ripped to the bone. Oh, and knee laid open deep, too.

Now I have an armored riding coat; and full-face helmet...and riding pants, not denim, which I've outgrown. I look like a clown in those too-small pants, getting off and going into whatever joint or gas station or motel I'm needing. So...I've been wearing just jeans.

I went to price out kevlar jeans but they don't carry them in stock in my size. And I put it off...one of those things.

I may be regretting it soon. The CB is the first bike I've had since 2010, that I'll be touring on, that does NOT have ABS. Now I have been saved by ABS; I love the idea; but I liked the CB more. And it was THERE. No need to spend weeks searching and then working out a shipment or pickup.

So I have no ABS. Leaving on a road trip tomorrow...in jeans. Maybe I'll be able to buy some Kevlar jeans in a city along the way...or maybe I'll rue this decision from a hospital bed.
