this may be a silly post, but i am curious.

For those of us belonging to the masculine persuasion, Have you ever thought about what might happen to your junk if wreck?
I've never heard this addressed...

MC pants don't seem to offer much coverage down there.

Is this generally not a concern or what?

well if you broadside a car your boys will probably take the windscreen or something right square on. however most accidents are described as high side or low side which means you are more or less going onto one side or the other or flying through the air and tumbling. The jewels are not secure in this way but most crashes won't cause direct damage there.

you could wear a codpiece if you think it makes you look cool though

Friend of mine has always thought about riding and he always jokes about 'having that much fuel next to my jewels if something goes wrong...'.

You could get a cup, though. Just make sure it's DOT certified.

hmm. if one winds up belly sliding on pavement it seems like one;s package would be in immediate danger of(gulp

)being burned off of one's body.

i guess it must not be a great risk or there would be accomodations for it.

Too much to think about when your going that fast, as others said, never really thought about it.

Hmmm... after a wreck bad enough to cause serious maiming and disfiguring, skin grafts, multiple pins, countless reconstructive surgeries, etc... I suppose it might be somewhat comforting to know that the acorns were still on the tree, just in case you meet some nice gal one day who has a real thing for scar tissue.

I wonder how many euphamisms for the twins we can come up with in this thread?

I allways take "All the gear all the time" to a new lvl.

Had a friend back east who lost one of his boys to the brake lever...called him "Uno" after that. Let's be careful out there!
