Dude, have you ever seen what happens to spandex when it touches a hot ex. pipe or motor. If just for safety (or fasion statement) wear leather.

Re: Do we use Spandex or Leather clothing to ride these MBs?

also make cardboard fairings and put them on your bike
Hey, don't make fun of cardboard fairings. If it weren't for cardboard fairings, I'd have no fairings at all.;)

My wife told me i would look like 50 pounds of potatos in a 10lb. sack.
Your wife was probably right, but whether she was or not, I'm willing to bet that she's from a town with a population of less than 5,000.:)

I wear a cape while I ski, my MB clothing will be my cape, sandals (maybe with socks, I'm a true Nor' wester) Jeans or Shorts, a humorous T-shirt and a wind breaker.

Here in Victoria there has been a recent motorcycling safety TV ad campaign.

A trauma surgeon ... sums things up after a few motocycle crash/skid/injury shots grab the attention

...take that guy says the surgeon, pointing to nasty leg gravel-burn and the rest...

"he's got months of skin-graft surgery ahead... in and out of hospital ...if he'd worn leathers not denim he'd be out of here tomorrow ... and pretty well good as new inside weeks...


full leather drag for playing motogp on xbox 360 might be an overcook...

if you have grease under you nails and have ever been called poindexter, your in the right place.

Funny you mention capes..

My nephews gave me a Superman-caped hoodie for Christmas today





Its great cause I just bought a red moto helmet that matches







Now.......what color to paint my bike. Kryptonite green? might start a thread for suggestions
Too much fun

You're welcome to wear spandex if you like but if you happen to break down while wearing spandex don't ask me to double you back. ROTFLMAO!

Welcome to the forum.
