Isn't that all I've ever said, seriously?

Great thread to end the day!

Tigger,

Does Marko really detest you or is he still mad that you told him that Buells suck when nobody else would?

I was wearing jeans when I crashed, I got road rash on both knees, but my ass was fine and I rolled quite a ways. That was muy importante to me.

I've been in about 7 street crashes and I was wearing jeans every time. Two of them were at over 100 mph. My knees got scarred up during a couple but that's it.

According to his charts, some types of nylon are better than leather and yet I don't see racers using them, I wonder why?

I didn't like him long before that thread came along.

Don't look at me man. As far as I know, I've never personally insulted Marko in any way.

The other thing that I don't like about his chart, is that it doesn't take into account the several different denim weights. It covers a bunch of different nylon though... hmmm... biased much?

A few years ago there were "tests" that stated that an $79 AFX helmet was better than a $899 Arai... They had all kinds of charts and whatnot to "prove" they were right... Here's a survey, how many of you were AFX helmets?

Well aren't you a "mod"? Get me banned then. Why the constant personal attacks?
