That's why I started the poll, I was thinking the same thing.

If it is cool enough, I wear a leather jacket and add chaps if it is cold. In the hotter weather, I wear a Tourmaster mesh jacket with armor. I have a very light complexion and a lot of money invested in tattos so I don't do the sun real well. It is actually cooler to wear that mesh jacket when riding than to be in just a t-shirt.

I ride with my full leather jacket or Textile Flak jacket at all times. I wear regular jeans and timberland work boots, Full face helmet. Most of the time i have on full fingered gloves.
I would be so pissed if I did go down without a leather jacket on cuz I spent allot of time and money on my tattoos. you can replace a bike but not tattood skin.
