I always ride with a jacket, but till now have just used jeans. I will have to increase my efforts to get a good pair of riding pants or at the very least a pair of Draggin Jeans.

Hey Chris, on the BMW Blog, where I find a lot of the stuff I transpost here, it was said that pants are probably the most overlooked piece of clothing. I have RevIt pants and they are great. Plenty of hip/leg/knee padding and they have a gortex liner so you can wear them in the rain. The liner also blocks wind and therefore they keep warm in the winter. In warmer months, you remove the liner and the pants are vented and stay cool.

Just to show you what pigs guys are, I hooked up with some BMW Forum riders in Alabama. We were discussing this article of this poor woman who had such bad road rash. One of the guys said, "You know, she's still pretty hot, I'd do her without skin...". What a pig. However, the rest of us agreed we would too....

My New Bike BMW F800

FINALLY! We went and got me a new bike today. We bought it in Charleston. Oddly enough, it was between this and the new Honda Phantom 750 (which I still like!). Of course Tuni kept going on and on about this one, and a man at the dealership (not an employee) looked at me and said "cruisers suck!" I hit him in the arm, but still ended up with this baby. Now I just have to go get my motorcycle license so I can drive it! So next year, I'll be riding the Smokies, too!! Whoohoo!

ABioBikers West - 1st Ride to Alice's Restaurant

Well, the first ABioBikers West Ride to Alice's didn't go exactly as planned. We ended up at Alice's, but unfortunately our ride was a rental Camry. Don't ask. Scott, myself and Meredith (a totally awesome chic and forensic customer) drove up on Thursday, Jan. 29th and hung out with the bikers. It was a gorgeous day. The place was packed with the leather and tattoos folks eating some pretty bad food. But that's not why you go. It was quite nice in spite of the 4-wheels up and back. Thanks, Scott! Better luck with the next planned ride.
