English term or phrase: sporting proof they have experienced...
Estamos comparando motoristas (motociclistas) de calle y de campo. El texto dice literalmente:

"It's easy to think of ourselves (motorists) as either street or dirt riders, as if our machines rather than our skills defined us. But I've seen some heavy machines *sporting proof they have experienced* off-pavement missions..."

No he podido encontrar en español un significado aceptable para esto. Muchísimas gracias, en especial a los "motonetos."

"sport" en inglés equivale a menudo a "hacer gala de". Vamos, que implica un cierto elemento de orgullo. Las cicatrices de su experiencia.

Thank you, Andy.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Mike Yarnold (X): "sporting iproof" is English jerga for "Demonstrating/showing". In this case the vehicles will probably be showing signs of damage and/or which proves that they have been off pavement (US) off-road (BrE). One can be "Sporting" almost anything - clothes

  -> De ahí mi nota sobre "hacer gala de algo"; "lucir" también podría usarse.

Explanation:
EL término "sport" tiene más que ver con "lucir", "ostentar", pero en español no iría bien por una cuestión de uso combinado con "proof". Y en este caso hay que modificar el gerundio por una relativa porque si no, sería incorrecto.
