the leg shaving trick is more for post crash infections. if you have hair on your legs then road rash tends to get infected much more easily. if a rider has shaved legs and crashes then he/she can just paint some "second skin" over top and live happier. if a infection starts due to the bacteria that hangs out on hair follicles then its a real drag. the downside is the major flack a guy takes for having shaved legs. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Tan <BenTbtstr8@AOL.COM> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Date: Friday, June 29, 2001 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [Re: 91 Vanagon GL Top Speed?]
