leatt-brace

[Mikey]

While im here, DOse anyone know where to buy a FULL Whitle leatt brace sock? not just a pattern one but a full white

[dearnhardtfan7]

well you can buy a graphics kit that is just plain white but if you're talking about like what Dungey has, that is the pro edition. They make Pro, Sport, Club, and Adventure. If I remember right the pro one costs like $1000. The pro comes in white.

He means the fabric sleeves you can put over the leatt.

[dearnhardtfan7]

Sorry I just didn't know they made something like that.

I have to report that I don't own or wear one. That said, I stick to roads and trails where your biggest enemies are going to be gravel and other riders. I don't think there's a piece of equipment out there that's going to effectively separate flesh from hitting a gravel-road cheese-grater at 80mph, so my best defense in those situations is to watch the road like a hawk and slow WAY the hell down on turns. With trails, I've found that it scarcely matters how hard you go down, as long as there's not another rider involved, you can get by with nothing more than a cut or bruise even if you're wearing a T-shirt. My usual safety gear is probably a lot more basic than any of you guys ride with, consisting of a helmet, gloves (which I really need to replace) and hiking boots. If I'm on a slower bike, like the 120, I might ride in shorts so that I don't get a heat stroke as soon as I stop riding, but it's usually heavy-ish long pants to protect against scrapes and pipe burns. If I ever get into racing, I'll be sure to crank the safety gear way up, even though vintage races don't include very much air time to speak of.

On the subject of safety, I'd like to point out the hazards of barbed wire. If anyone here ever gets the urge to ride in an area where cattle or other livestock are kept nearby, be on the ----ing lookout! Basic fact number one: it doesn't matter how fast you're going or how much power your machine can produce, barbed wire will win. If it's loose on the ground, it can get caught up in your wheels or your chain or something, and stop them cold so fast that the CEO of Brembo will drop a load in his pants. Needless to say, this is a bad thing if you're doing anything more than 10mph. Basic fact number two: there's no rule that says it has to be loose. During the winter, loose barbed wire can sink into the mud, which in turn gets baked and solidifies into a granite-like substance when June or July roll around. If your foot or a peg get caught in a loop of wire sticking out of the ground, there is going to be none of this nonsense about pulling out of the ground or dragging it behind your bike. Part of you is going to stop, and the other parts are going to trace a graceful arc directly toward the center of the planet. Think you've got an unbreakable helmet? Let's see a melon-test from the top of the Chrysler building, and see how it does. This doesn't all mean that you should avoid rural dirt roads and such completely, but you should at least be on the lookout for the stuff. Glancing up to admire the beauty of Mt. Jefferson is not recommended at speed.

That is all.

Do you have something to say about everything? It keeps the leatts more clean and the pros do actually use them, unlike the helmet socks where no one does.
