Do you prefer riding jeans, or textile?

That's OK. I'd rather sweat than bleed. It's hard to get the screams out of my mind of a tough guy who was getting his skin scrubbed in the ER after a slide in T-shirt.

I've also seen videos of an FJR newbie who rides in a mesh shirt and fingerless gloves. Why even bother?

Well it isn't mesh, and I don't wear gloves unless it is cold or I am on a track I suspect that the fingerless gloves are about vibration, not for a fall.

Wasn't you in the mesh shirt I saw. On closer look it did seem to have some armor. Hopefully he'll never go down to find out.

Everyone picks their own level of equipment If we are just toodling around the lake roads, its t-shirts. I figure that if we do manage to have a problem that it isn't any different than the crashes I had when I was still doing triathalons in a foam helmet and spandex
