Draggin Jeans

When i decided i was going to get my protective riding pants, i did the obligatory research and reading. I was left with 2 conclusions: the old skool riders will swear their lives, wives and everything else by riding leathers. Younger/newer riders go for protective pants that have the look of conventional fashion items, in particular Draggin Jeans, who appear to be very well marketed.

I knew what i wanted as both a younger/new rider - Draggins don't have impact protection but they are abrasian resistant so no road rash, and they look like regular jeans/cargoes, which means i can walk around in them without feeling too foolish. All i needed was a little help with sizing and some general questions.

I stopped by Total Motorcycle Accessories as planned in the previous post, where i was summarily ignored by all the idle sales staff. I guess they saw breasts, assumed they came with no real interest, and decided i was a waste of time. So back i went to Dale Britton's, the dealership that sold me the bike and my existing gear, and they helped me out nicely.

I am now the proud owner of a pair of black Draggin Jeans cargoes, with a nice discount from Dale's as a recognised customer. They're the most expensive item of clothing i've ever owned save the jacket, but i'm definitely happy about it.
