You know, those pants probably would have been just fine when you weren't riding your bike. I wouldn't have thrown them away.

First day I had my SG, my pants got caught on the heel shifter. Almost got ugly, stopped right then and there, took it off and tossed it into the woods.

I was on a club run yesterday and noticed our Road Captain having some problems as we were approaching the stop sign at the end of an exit ramp. It seems that the laces of his right boot had somehow become caught in his highway peg and he couldn't get his foot up to the brake or down to the pavement. I've ridden a long time and I never saw anything like it. He was able to get stopped with his left foot down but it took another person to get him loose. So if you wear boots with laces, make sure you tie them so that you don't have a lot of extra lace blowing around.

Guess it's the military in me but I tuck the laces into the boots after they are tied.

Also, that's what they taught and insisted on at the MSF Basic Rider course I took last summer. I hate when those guys are right all the time!
