Talk:Motorcycle safety clothing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
i am thinking of moving this page to "motorcycle safety gear" and including some information from the helmet article. Clawed 22:14, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of Individual in Safety Clothing
Pictured individual is wearing sneakers, not motorcycle boots or even proper ankle-height boots. Were he in a collision his ankle could be broken or possibly worse, I don't think this really properly illustrates the idea of the article.
- I agree. Also, I think a picture of someone wearing leathers rather than textiles would illustrate the point more clearly - to most non-motorcyclists textile gear doesn't look all that different from normal clothing. --^pirate 16:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merging?
There's some overlap between what's here and what's in Motorcycle_safety#Personal_Protective_Equipment. Perhaps it would be best if that section pointed to this article. I agree with clawed that this article should be moved under a new title. Brianhe 06:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Buying guide section
The section Motorcycle jacket guide looks like an advertisement. I'm inclined to remove this whole section. Is it even original writing? No clue as to identity of the submitter, just an IP address. I suggest that it be recreated in the appropriate place for original works, perhaps on Wikisource or the author's own web site, then linked to this article, if appropriate.

Adding template-tone tag and giving this a little longer. Brianhe 04:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Deleted it, saved a sentence or two under "Leathers". -- Brianhe 01:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
