where did the good old days of being a 20 year old Wolverine go?......... I've never thought of myself as being a knee/elbow pad, body armour person.... I didn't think I ride hard enough to warrant wearing any.. Yesterday,I learned it's not how hard you ride but how hard you fall that justifies wearing said gear. a little drop off I've done dozens of times, AND did just prior to the incident caused me to be in a fair amount of discomfort yesterday and it's worse today. My elbow/forearm is like a healthy chicken breast, skinless. My hip/thigh got bashed and the side my chest/rib cage too, sneezing feels like being smacked with a sledgehammer on the chest. So, I've decided to invest in some protection. Knee and elbows to start... suggestions please, as to where to get good gear and not be ripped off because I've got no idea what this stuff should cost?
