    Are you guys booked at the Stardust Lounge at Bally's in Vegas?

    Textiles are primarily a one-and-done level of protection. It's better than denim but not meant to stand up to repeated accidents. It's like a helmet once down, not usable again.

      As for Coffee, PA Kat and Cheriff, I've ridden with all of them, and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM would ever ride in a manner befitting knee drag damage. It's like riding with Miss Daisy.

      Regarding textile gear, I prefer to call it "Fire and forget." I avoid such incedents by squiding as much as possible. Helmet on the side of the bike, shorts, running shoes and a t-shirt. That way my gear always looks good!And heck, I high sided last year at aprox. 43 mph with no gear, and I came out just fine. In my defense, I always wear gloves and sunglasses. Viva la Squid!

        Just a little TBI to show for it... Or has that always been there?

        Just because they sound the same doesn't mean they are: there≠their≠they're; to≠too≠two; its≠it's; your≠you're; know≠no; brake≠break

          It's been there for at least fourteen years...possibly longer.

              There it is! The ever elusive question mark. Well done, pal. Well...done. Now you're using the English language.

                  On a serious note- these are Joe Rocket Atomic pants. My knee was not down long and I was just literally grazing. I have no faith in these things with a whole bodies weight pressing them into the pavement. They're history.
