The jeans are some of those Kevlar-reinforced ones, but now that I'm wearing "nice" pants to work every day I have proper riding pants.
As for boots, I might not be of much help. I went nuts and bought a streetguard 3 suit, gortex "summer" gloves, and gortex bmw boots (the ones with the exoskeleton). I probably went overboard on the boots, but if I ever go down I'll probably not regret the expense.Last edited by u3b3rg33k; 05-16-2012, 08:09 AM.

I have a pair of these: http://www.oxtar-boots.com/ss.html
I bought them at least 5 years ago. They have about 50,000 miles
of riding on them now. The Velcro is failing (as it would on any equipment
that has been opened & closed so many time), but otherwise they are
still doing great.
I think Oxtar changed the company name to TCS or TCX now, which
used to be the model designator.
They do have a tendency to squeak, but a little DuPont Teflon Multilube
sprayed where the parts pivot &/or slide solves that (on any boot or shoe).
I still have my old pair of original Hi-Point motocross boots with the leather
strap & pin style buckles - a little tight, but they work (I did have to use some
steel wool on the rust though).

I, too, am almost done with the new paint. Have to wet sand the bleed spots but I'm diggin it. I know it's not everyone's flavor but I like the old weathered look.

Paint is pretty cool, BTW. It's a nice break from the ubiquitous checkers.

lol nice. Something similar happened to me in my 2002 once. I could see people ahead of me turning around in their seats it was so loud.
