Talking I think i need to wear knee sliders on my commute...

So on my commute there is a certain awsome interstate on ramp. You know the kind, where the loop you out and back under the road you were just on to merge with the interstate. Well this morning this guy was clear, so i hit it hard and fast. I was pinned in 4th gear however fast that is. Leaned way out (right hand corner had my left thigh on the seat) so im basicly going moto gp on this corner. Now im in jeans so naturally i cant put my knee down, thats when it happens. My freaking boot toe contacts. So now im going who know how fast and im dragging my boot toes half way around this interchange. I should seriously wear my track pants next time...

Fun, ain't it? I'm thinking about doing the same real soon (Teknic Chicane pants with knee sliders that is).

I'm picking up my Ninja in 2 weeks and I've bought 1 piece racing leathers to ride in... it's going to take me ages to get changed at work but I think the ride to work will be fun

learn to ride on the ***** of your feet in corners. ground clearance on the 250R sucks.... or get a set of rearsets.
