Impressive, they are certainly at one with their bikes, I would give them ten out of ten for their skill, however considering their clothing I reduce that mark to zero.
It is regularly being advised to youngsters that a good helmet is just one small part of the personal protection needed when riding a motorcycle.
So a very bad example is being demonstrated, by these otherwise talented riders. (hammer)
Take care.

You wouldn't be too impressed with my clothing then, Chris. In over 50 years of owning and riding motorcycles, I've never owned any leathers, it's always been denims. Mind you, the only stunting I ever did was unintentional.ChrisR":14zhb9ge said:

I can no longer ride a motorcycle due to (MS), but strangely the DVLA have not restricted my motorcycle licence in any way, I just know I would not be able to ride, but my car licence has been restricted to auto only, with left foot operation for accelerator and break.
The protective clothing thing goes back a long way, when I was in my early twenties I found out how abrasive the road surface is to human skin. I was not wearing leathers, but did have a full Belstaff suit, sliding along the road, I wore through that, a jacket and trousers underneath, shirt etc, then to the skin, ouch. I did slide a long way though.
Latter in life I could afford full leathers, but never did put them to the test.
I believe that the inexpensive leather suits are made of goat nap, with very little abrasion resistance against the road service, your denims would probably give better protection.
I can tell you that gravel rash hurts like hell twice, once when you do it, the second when iodine is applied. :shock: :shock:
Take care.

Born again biker, I wish, I wish.
