Busa Dave made me think of this when he reminded me in a recent post that there are two kinds of riders, those who have been down and those who are going down.

I bought a set of "Draggin' Jeans" for the wife and I this past summer and I highly recommend them. They look like regular blue/black jeans on the outside and have Kevlar sewn into the seat and knee areas to protect against road rash if you go down. They're around $80 to $100.

Now, I for one have never had just the right George Michael-type ass to get away with wearing leather pants so this was the next best option. Take a look at them at www.dragginjeans.com.

It's really kind of ironic though. The more stuff like this I buy, the more 300' smokey burnouts I seem to do

I agree about Draggin Jeans, I have 3 pair and use them just like normal jeans. If it's Cold out put on some chaps and you have total coverage, Kevlar on your butt and leather everywhere else.

I don't have any for my Jeans yet, but the Draggin Jeans website says you can even add armor at the knees if you want.
