leather and safety equipment.
« on: January 26, 2010, 11:43:30 AM »
they haven't announced full details on the safety for Ohio, but I assume leathers will be apart of it.

Mike, where'd you find yours? Is there a way to source them cheaply?

i got some leathers off ebay for under 20 bux. i mean not exactly riding leathers with pads (pads make u look like a halo character) but a leather members only jacket with a hoodie under it = pretty decent protection and classy. :) hehe

It depends on the class... There is a big thread on MA with allthe safer requirements... I think Open Midified class is the one needing full leathers
