Protection?

[Ward P]

There's bugger all difference in protection between jeans and shorts. First bounce and they're torn to bits.
Where I live there is bugger all traffic. In the hot weather I wear the minimum if I'm cruising and not hooning. But do cover up, more for sun protection than worrying about coming off.
If I'm planning on going hard, it's full leathers and armour - but still haven't even had a near off in the last 15 years. - Must be going soft!
