Hello All, 

Stumbled across this motorcycle journalist from Bennetts Insurance doing a test on single layer vs double layer motorcycle jeans. 
 

I sometimes wear motorcycle jeans when it’s hot so watched it. 
 

Turns out he’s got a 5th gen in the garage. Fantastic endorsement that his own bike is a VFR. Although it looks like he’s servicing it with what looks like supermarket oil...

Spoiler: double layer jeans are better than single layer, regardless of safety rating. Wearing armour with the jeans is better still. 
 

Enjoy!
