How geared are you?

I voted 'mostly geared'. I wear a full-face helmet, jacket, boots and gloves every ride.

Notes:
-For trips/serious rides I'll add riding pants, too. Otherwise around town it's usually jeans or cargo pants.
-I also add a Teknic spine protector for serious rides and trips.
-If a lot of freeway miles are in the mix for the day, I usually add an Olympia bright yellow safety vest.
-On the hottest summer days I'll wear a mesh jacket w/soft armor instead of leather jacket w/hard armor.
-Over the ankle work boots during my commute, otherwise my usual riding boots.

 

ATGATT. Full face helmet, Joe Rocket Pants, boots and gloves. I have 2 Joe Rocket Jackets with armor. One for summer and one for cooler weather. Feels strange riding without ATGATT now.

 

full face helmet, leather jacket ( Wilsons on sale for 40 bucks ) w/ back protector or my vented mesh on hot days, leather boots ( Harley boots from Bob's 40 bucks ), jeans and gloves.
you don't have to spend alot to protect yourself.

 

I have recently added Sidi Vertigo Air Boots and AStars track pants.



The boots are great, fit finish and function are just what I was looking for. I have trouble with off the rack gear so the pants don't fit that well. When I have a few bucks I shall have to do a custom one piece.

 

I suck...I have three sets to choose from: RWB leathers. BLack leathers. Joe rocket set..and about 8 pairs of gloves and two different helmets........and a broken bike(for now)

And I wear it all all the time because My GF asked me to and my daughter loves to help me get dressed...

 

Only difference is I wear a HJC Carbon Helmet, and when cold change to Olympia insulated gloves

Like the old boyscout motto
Always be prepared

 

you have trouble with "off the rack" stuff because you are not the "average size" person.. you torso is to long , and your legs are too short. and you have a flat ass.. ( I am secure enough in my masculinity to save that)
:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

Same here, except add a big belly.

Not sure about my ass, 'cause I don't go around checking out other guys' butts and comparing mine to theirs. :biggrin:

 

I have the big belly too.

I had to get Euro size 60 to fit my thighs. Unfortunately, AStars just makes everything bigger each size. So no 38/30 like American jeans. I had to take the shin armor out to make the pants tuck into my boots and I have to wear suspenders to keep them up. But other than that they fit great!

 

I am looking at getting some riding jeans and pants and i will be fully geared up.

 

That's just weird, man.

 

I wear a Jacket (Joe Rocket mesh in summer, Tourmaster leather in cool/cold weather) Icon gloves and Alpinstars boots all the time when I ride. Its a great reminder to me that I am destructable and it does'nt give me that false feeling of being secure. It actually hightens my awareness on the road of other cagers. Now when it comes to pants (the question on this forum was for an "average ride") I have motoboss over-pants rideing pants and Bohn Armor pants. If I am just rideing to get a sam-itch Ill just wear Levis. The over pants and the bohn armor take a little more to get into (the bohn sticks to my legs and I always have to "adjust" alot. The Motoboss also takes a little more to get into...over pants. With either one I am wearing jeans either under the motoboss or over the Bohn armor) So, my kinda rule is that if the ride takes less time (round the block) to put on either the Bohn or Motoboss I don't wear them. On regular/average rides I wear both the Bohn and Motoboss together. (fin)

 

whats weird about it? She hands me my jacket then my gloves and then I take my helmet off of her....

 

Just bustin' chops! I think it's great that your daughter helps her daddy. That's something she'll probably remember forever, and you sound like a great dad.

 

no worries just clarified....she want a motorcycle like daddys when she gets older.....

 

All the gear, all the time.

Mac

FS- Aerostich Transit Pants(40) and Jacket(46). If anybody is interested, I'll make you a deal.

 

You forgot to mention your way cool Honda shirt that has special party powers

 

oh yeah there is that shirt...I didn't get to see it in person, only say it on the live feed...might have rolled him after he passed out and taken the shirt.......:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

Drewl's party shirt DOES have special powers

 

any time i go out im fully geared up i have 3 suits 5 elements,and 3 pairs of boots
