Here's a question about the jeans. Does anyone wear Rokker jeans ? Or are they only for Harleyriders and not done on a Monster ? I've tried the search engine but it gave no result for Rokker.

pretty much look the same as any other motorcycle jean on the outside.  I prefer the button fly over zippers myself, so that'd be a selling point for me.

I do like my Shift jeans tho, they have a gusset in the crotch so they don't bunch up weird when I saddle up, although the fabric isn't windproof at all so you get a cool breeze where you might not want it.

I don't think the Shift jeans are available in Europe so I'll have to settle for the Rokker jeans which is the next best thing in store here.

Thanks.

Probably... but i'd think going over the jean would lead to uncomfy bunching of the jeans under the pads.  Also, if the jeans have abrasion resistant materials - they are best placed on the outside
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Hey guys, are EVS products good to go? I'm shopping around for knee protection right now. I need something without the shin guard because it will interfere with my boots. My Puma boots are high enough to cover/protect my shin.
Why are they so damn cheap?

Mine feels like they will stay in place. Only issue is that the knee part isn't strapped down - in the seated position it points upwards if worn over pants.
They might interfere a little with my SIDI boots, haven't tested that combo on the bike yet.
I don't mind cheap - they seem to be of good quality, as far as I'm able to tell.

Just imagine what your knee would look/feel like had you not been wearing them!

By your description of the event, it sounds as though nothing short of a full wrap-around CF brace could have perfomed any better under those conditions.

Heal up, and next time wear yer damn helmet  instead of carrying it on your wrist!!  [laugh]
