#41 Re: What's your 'Chinese' Protection?03-05-2012, 05:49 AMTo not explore the dirt roads is just sacrilege.Well up here it is.
Plus most of the tar roads may as well be dirt roads the way they are cut up.

What does Pete ride on or plan to ride on.Then maybe we can point him in the right direction but he has already bought most of his gear.
Just because you ride on very smooth tarmac and I would ride on smooth to cut up tar to hard core dirt perhaps both of us might be wrong to suggest safety gear.

I see you live in the same city so yeah go and get maybe some full one piece leathers Maybe. Be a shame to spend all your time riding around Zibo though.

Did you actually bother to read my posts. Here is a quote from one "I will probably get one if and when I go back.Riding dirt bikes I think they are another thing to guard off injury as I come off abit.I don't know if I would use it just riding on the road."
I think Pete is intelligent enough to make his own decisions hey.

So if Pete has young children I can see why he is going all out to get the best safety protection he can buy the alternative is giving up riding for a while.Lost a friend who had a young daughter when he was racing bikes.Looking back wasn't worth the loss especially for his family.

03-06-2012, 03:11 PMThank you Bigdamo and thank you ZMC888 for your considerate posts. I almost feel like you guys were fighting over me .
Honestly though, thanks. Protection is valuable, especially for guys with a family to support.
The gear I have now is far from the best but, to some extent, it'll protect me from what I'm most likely to encounter: Medium to low speed slides while leaning into a nice, big corner on a clear, wide, smooth tarmac road that's unfortunately been littered with the extra sand and rocks that were loaded onto the back of a lorry drivers vehicle in his attempt to make a few extra rmb per run. I can't blame him though; he get's paid extra for doing it and nobody will stop him; it's just sh1tty that my path meet's with his.
My mesh vest and under-shorts can be considerably cool in the summer and worn under leather in the winter. The boots and helmet are good through any season. I'm holding back on the neck-brace for now; I don't do any off-road riding or large jumps and I only ride a 250cc... for now. Once I get a better pair of gloves I think I'll be set.Last edited by soberpete; 03-06-2012 at 03:12 PM. Reason: Spelling and grammar
