Sports bike/Crotch rocket Protective gear..and ideas on what to purchase?
I was wondering if anyone has personal crash experince, or knows some reliable protective gear they can reccomend...Im assuming its all relaible, but i wanted something that is easy to cary along, and can be worn over my clothes.
Obviously id wear Gloves and a helmet, But what can be a good looking, but protective jacket i could use, and fold up in the compartment on the bike when im not riding.
I never worn protective gear, so is there something that will save ur life, and you can shove in the trunk of the bike?
Hey whats up? I own a 2006 CBR 600rr, These bikes have zero trunk space that usually only holds the registration and a microfiber cloth to wipe your bike off every now and then. Depending where you live you will want to take into consideration on how hot or cold you will be with gear. Go to your local sport bike/accessory shop and look at the jackets, most of them have inner lining that you can remove to keep you cool during warmer days. A full jacket is what you want, it will protect your whole back, elbows, and shoulders (The ones that look bulky and has the pads in them).A plain leather jacket will not protect your bones like these can. Sad to say no jackets will hide away on a crotch rocket. One good thing to always have are riding boots that protect your ankles. 9 times out of 10 one of your legs will be stuck under the bike as you fall and twist your ankel into pieces. Oh yea and good gloves, the road will rip your skin off. Gloves can usually hide away in the storage on a sport bike. Hope this helps! The gear only looks as good as you think it does. if you got the money, alpine stars makes reeeal nice gear, a little pricey but nice. I have a joe rocket jacket, its nice and the price was affordable. I hit a turn to fast one time wearing just the chest protector, it saved my spine as I landed on my back but my elbow now has a scar for life....I got lucky....
