I always wear boots and jeans, but in the summer often ride in a sleeveless shirt, I don't often wear gloves, I used to be ATGATT, I had an off 14 years ago and it saved my life even though I still ended up with a lot of metalwork, but now I am in this hot climate, sweating buckets is as dangerous as shorts and flip flops, I don't need sweat in my eyes on a corner. Now the cold has arrived the leather jacket is in use again along with gloves in the evening.

No helmets, hopefully it will stay that way and another always hotly debated subject but not here

I have been riding for over 20 years. I can remember when I first started riding older riders telling me there are 2 types of riders, " Those that have been down and those who will go down." Well I'm one of the riders who have been down. Their point being to wear protective gear. I have always worn boots, long pants and a jacket. It just makes sense to me. I see way to many riders wearing shorts, flip flops or sandles. A minor accident can go from a brush yourself off and continue on your way to a big deal, trip to the hospital cause your legs are road rashed, burnt from the hot engine parts and f@cked up feet due to open toed shoes. Just my opinion. Whats yours?
