Testimonials / Letters - Letter 63Hello Grant, I have attached some pics I have showing where and what damage was done to Draggin Jeans and bike on the road between Albion Park and Jambaroo in NSW on 28th January 2006, basically when the bike hit the rock as it passed on the up hill right hand side of the road avoiding a SS Commodore who crossed to my side through the corner, the fins of the engine caught the rock at approx 50kph due to front brake allowing the front wheels to skids in rock fragments on the concrete on the edge of the road. As I went over the handle bars the fins then caught the seam of the inside right leg of the jeans and as I went down the lower right cuff at end of the hem of the jeans as well. I was wearing a Good pair of RJays boots at the time. I am not sure that there is much can be done to modify the jeans as such, unless the seam can be moved around and under the leg/knee area but then this would impede the movement of the rider as they sit on the bike and cause discomfort when bending knees etc OR You may have some idea as to how a slideing plate/smooth surface can be used so that the inside knee area can be able to smoothly slide if it came in to contact with anything in this inside knee area.eg the fins of an engine or protruding fairing peice etc. What matters most is that , I still have my knee and therefore my leg as well and am able to use it into the future and keep enjoy my riding thanks to my Draggins. Stay Safe
