Really wasn't supposed to be insult material. I was honestly surprised to see them- I've never actually seen a set in motion. Do they provide any protection?

I've known folks to ride in jeans with dirtbike knee/shin guards under them when they didn't have the budget for leathers, but I've never seen the Icon chaps anywhere except catalogs and advertisements.

That's how I read your post.... I know quite a few people that have them. Tho, they bought them as a joke, and discovered they like wearing them. *shrug*

Out of all the posts in the thread, all the rest pretty encouraging, this is the one AL goes for??

Less than a year I believe... We got the Ninja 250 last Fall and the GSXR 600 a few months later.

A full suit is in the works... To be honest, I left my "Onesy" at home too. I wore my Icon Automag pants or my ridings jeans and knee guards.. Heck, we saw people in shorts and tank tops on sport bikes... I think she was "moderately" protected. The thing is, if someone was GENUINELY concerned for my GF's safety, I would be greatful and appreciative. Unfortunately, as always, this is just another attempt to belittle another rider by someone who has nothing better to do... Did you not notice that I'm not the one that started this thread? I'm way over being put down for the bike I ride or the gear I wear/don't wear.

I quoted this and there is more at the bottom, wierd?

Anyway, she looked like she could handle the bike earlier in the year, and yes those jeans and chaps really cover the main parts, the ass is mostly meat and wont wear to the bone as quick as a knee or elbow, I'd say shes dressed safer than 90% of the bikers on the road anyway

Yea, we have got to get together before the end of the season with Kyle, Nick or whomever. She did really well but I'd like for her to possibly follow someone who hasn't been all busted up. I was honestly holding her up until I got a bit of a hair... My knee dragging down public roads days are long gone, I'm afraid. On the up side, we were never passed nor did we ever hold anyone up unless there was traffic ahead.
