Pain636 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 My brother and I went to the gap like we do every year. And this would make our 3rd year going down there. A few days after we got back I ventured onto Killboys FB, and found to my surprise we made it on his weekly highlights! Woot.http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151106737028140&set=a.10151106680993140.499797.211220253139&type=3&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rctaylor Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I was uncomfortable riding in just my jeans after I wore leathers for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^thisI have been riding AGATT. Last Friday I had to go to get a starter for my car, and I was already dirty from climbing under the car to verify the solenoid was bad. So I didn't put on any gear besides gloves and helmet. Felt really uneasy and I only went about 4 miles total in a perfectly straight line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain636 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 ^ great shot!! I couldn't imagine riding without leathers.I don't own any leathers, and probably never will. I also don't consider myself an aggressive rider. I know I know its everyone else on the road I need to worry about. That being said I'll pass on heat stroke just for the sake of what might happen. I trust in my ability, and if another car is involved the lost skin is the least of my worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was lucky to not break anything save for the bike that got totaled. So yeah, the lost skin least of my worries. As it did grow back, my bike however did not.

I am cringing even thinking about how I rode in textile pants, next year will be in full leather for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
