Testimonials / Letters - Letter 68November 2006 Hi Draggin About three weeks ago on a chilly Adelaide morning while heading off for a ride on my Ducati 900 SS I did something I had not done in 25 years on a motorbike. Yes, I dropped the bike at the corner at the end of my street in full view of the neighbours who were walking their dog. Thankfully I was wearing proper gear, which I always do. This included a pair of red Cammo Draggin Jeans (I have three pairs of different colours). I and the bike met with the ground at about 30kms. Not all that fast but fast enough. I slid for 20 feet (mainly left side). The bike slid 40. I got up straight away and surveyed the damage. The bike had quite a few deep scratches on the fairing and various broken bits and pieces (cost $1000). The damage to me was zero. Not a scratch, nothing. My jacket and gloves took a bit but mostly the friction was confined to my left thigh and leg. This is where my red Cammos worked a treat. Not only did I have nothing to show for sliding 20 feet down the pavement but apart from a bit of light scuffing on the left back pocket I can hardly tell that the jeans have been on the road either! Another great thing about Draggin jeans is that I will often have lunch out after a ride and I can walk into any restaurant without having to change. These jeans are versatile but above all let me ride safe. Cheers William Esau (lawyer, Ducati enthusiast) |
