pretty picture

I guess he really "Lost His Ass" on that one.:doh:

 

Hey, BZ. Yep, and believe it or not, must of mine were from bicycles too! I used to be rather fond of jumping Schwinn Stingrays off homemade ramps (in the street, of course; couldn't peddle fast enough in dirt clods to get decent height and distance...). Sometimes I just plain lost control, but most of the calamities occured when parts broke (handlebars, goosenecks, and even frames occasionally). I don't think my body was damage-free on elbows and/or knees for more than a month at a time, and there was at least one occasion where I landed on my knees, ripped through the Levi's, knees ground down and caught traction, and flipped me forward onto my elbows and forearms.

I could never understand why it bothered my parents so much. Apparantly, the joys of sailing through the air in the noble pursuit of wingless flight is a privelage reserved for few...

 

No more spooning for him for awhile...

He should've checked out Draggin Jeans if leather wasnt his preferred gear!

So if he had been wearing leathers, would he have gotten away without a scratch, or would he have "probably" gotten away without a scratch?

I always wear full leathers, boots, gloves and a full face helmet, fortunetly I have never put them to the test.

How much protection they really give?

 

The thread title " pretty picture " appears to be a little misleading. :lie: :attention: :smile:

 

Read this site for alot of info: http://www.roadsafety.mccofnsw.org.au/a/88.html

"a single layer of 1.4 mm cow hide will last 5.8 seconds, while 200 gsm denim (or your standard jeans), will last just over half (0.6) of a second"

If you are going over 30mph, you're probably going to slide for longer than .6 seconds.

 

I see he got a new pair of religious pants......they're quite "Holy".

 

OK...more "Pun"-ishment: That guy is ripped!

 

Ironic you should post this Reg as this guy has a 4th gen front end for a butt. lol at least thats what it looks like to me.

 

Yeah, Nothing "Pretty" about it!!:drum:
