Shorts Test: Dickie's V's Lycra


In a recent sliding along fire road test to see the difference between Dickie's V's Lycra showed some interesting results.

How the test works: Trailmix SOCIAL ride, ride at 45ks, slap ass, lock bars then CRASH!

Part 5

Part 6
The day after to fully see the extent what happened to both riders in the crash.
Dickie's Rider burn on the knee the size of a bottle cap
 Lycra rider with almost 2nd degree burns to the entire leg
 The entire leg even the bum!

The end result Dickie's rider suffered a handle bar to the stomach but pulled up surprisingly well. Lycra rider well it speaks for it's self. Wearing baggy shorts such as Dickie's or Sugoi HOV shorts or similar isn't a bad thing. You can still wear your knicks under if you need but the simply offer more protection with the same amount of flexibility. The bikes were a Ok just a few minor scratches!

P.S Heal up fast tony you will be good to go in no time!
