  1. Motorcycle pants

    New Member Introductions
    I'm in the market to purchase motorcycle pants and I'm debating between denim with kevlar or denim with knee protection. I'm a new rider so I won't be doing anything crazy enough to necessitate serious protection but the fact that I'm new might be enough reason to invest in quality gear all...

    First Bike / New Rider
    Hi, I just got my first bike and have been doing a little bit of Interstate riding and was wondering if a dedicated motorcycle jacket such as an armrored Cordura or leather is superior to a heavyweight casual leather jacket I already own + motocross style upper body armor? Dedicated jackets...

  7. t-pro forcefield vs. knox

    First Bike / New Rider
    Hello, Does anyone have any experience/knowledge about t-pro forcefield vs. knox back AND chest protective armor?
