OT: Bob LaLonde and/or Bob Campbell
Completely off-topic stuff follows.
In relatively short order I got used to driving a little Yamaha in Brazil. Back in Florida I just picked up a 2006 Burgman 650. The Burger is capable of highway speeds and then some. For now I'm just riding around town and to the beach but I plan to travel with it as well.
Now comes the quandary. I need protective gear but I'm not familiar with the various brands. Some folks swear by Joe Rocket jackets; some say First Gear and still others say any leather jacket is fine. I already have a Snell / DOT rated full face helmet and steel-toed, over-the-ankle boots.
What do you guys use for torso protection? Do you consider denim pants sufficient for the legs and butt or should I get "armored" stuff? The weather here is usually quite hot so I'll be looking for a vented or mesh jacket. What about the slacks?
I've already signed up for the MSF course and added the Burger to my auto policy. I know you guys have been riding a long time. Any advice will be appreciated.
One last question. I notice some riders drop their left hand and point two fingers to the pavement as they pass. Any idea where that came from?
