so im sick of wearing jeans, they just aren't comfortable for me riding the S4. I put 200 miles on the bike this weekend (would have been more, see story below). I'm 6.0'', 170lbs, 33 x 34 pant size and am looking for some recommendation on something that works, all suggestions welcome.

Amusing story: Got my bike out of my buddy's garage friday after work, everything checked out, it was good to go. Put a dozen easy miles on it, pull back in and something smells like gasoline. I turn off the bike and step off. The bottom of my tank is GUSHING fuel. Not good. One of the plastic ball lock nipples coming out of the tank had cracked where it screws into the tank. Needless to say it was the quickest tank removal operation ever performed. $20 part at the dealer, a little thread tape, and I was back on my way. Almost auditioned for the lead role in Ghostrider II.

Get leather. I have Dainese Mekongs, they're great. The stretch at the knee really makes all the difference

If your not comfortable wearing jeans you wont like anything else.

Unless your dumb enough to wear shorts.
