are
required? I just got my KLR a month ago anf the ride is in November,
thats a ways off but should I wait till 2001? any info would be
appreciated..

riding pants suggestions

Looking at getting some riding pants. Have absolutely no clue.
I ride mostly on the road, and maybe 10-20% gravel and light trails.
No Gonzo ar anything like that (yet). I will be riding back and
forth to work after my relocation to Texas in a month. As some of
you know it is HOT in Texas. Please take this into consideration
with your recommendations.
Q1: Are Jeans good enough?
Q2: If jeans don't cut it, what should I look for in a pair of
motorcycle pants? OOOOO that could really sound bad.
Q3: Any specific brand of pants that are known to be cool (maybe
could wear over a pair of shorts for the ride)?
Really trying to be serious here...help me out...serious doesn't come
easily for me.
Any help is much appreciated,
