[owen]

Welcome Owen, but the first thing I've got to say is cover that skin up. Riding a bike it's not a matter of if you'll come off but when and road rash is a lot more inconvenient than wearing the right gear.

[owen]

yeah mate i got all the gear now. Team Moto virginia was screwing me around with my draggin jeans aye. after a month still didnt have them so i just got diff colours. i have draggin jeans a RST leather jacket some dryryder boots and leatehr gloves its all good. im all protected now ! it all came up to 850 i think excluding helmet coz i already had one

[Nelso]

Good to hear. Post up where abouts you live and get out on a ride or two.

Hi Owen, welcome to KSRC, heres a hint..... use knee guards under the Dragins..... Dragins dont offer much protection as is
a couple of our members can support the need from first hand experience

Too true Rob, here's Glens quote about my slippery-slide fun:

......
There is no substitute for good protective gear. If Tim didn't have hard armour under his Draggins he probably would've been sitting in an emergency room with his kneecap hanging in the breeze.
........

My slide at 60km/h went straight through the kevlar on both knees and wore a big graze into my left knee armour, small graze on the right, down to kevlar on my butt.

I cringe to think of it, but I'd say a good chunk would have been worn out of my kneecap bone, possibly dislodged, and lost plenty of skin had it not been for the $30 knee pads.

sounds like ill be getting some knee pads real soon then guys ^_^ im really lucky though coz whist im still on my learners until i get the cash for Qride. my mate i live with has his open licence so we go riding quite a lot. thats his gixxer in the background. so it wont be long till i get my licence
