    My buddys comment about a simular photo, but the girl was wearing a skirt sans panties ------ I knew that someday some manufacturer would figure out to put the exhaust above the seat!

    I prefer to do the full gear route. But this year as a result of too many 12 oz curls, my leather pants dont quite fit and I have yet to replace. - Or get off my dead ass and work out....

    I voted mostly geared instead of fully geared. Why? because when on my bike riding to work, I have all my gear but riding pants. Otherwise, if I am out for a group ride or something of the like, I am fully geared up.

    So I have a Scorpion EXO-700 helmet, Teknic, gaunlet gloves, teknic Chicane leather jacket and pants, and Alpinestars S-MX Plus boots.

    Always wear everything I have. Full face, gloves, leather jacket and riding jeans with armored knees and leather lined butt. The only thing I wear not designed for riding are the boots, but I always wear over the ankle leather uppered boots.

    I have gotten to where I won't ride without everything. Arai, Vanson, Held, Fieldsheer sythetic pants, Sidi boots, otherwise I feel naked and don't enjoy even riding in jeans anymore. I never ride to work though, if I did I'd buy an Aerostich and go clothed underneath.

    I was at a bike night in Reno years ago, and there were two gorgeous chicks on a gixxer750 wearing short-shorts, bikini tops BOTH wearing high-heals... And they were actually racing around town like that...

    At least they wore helmets.

    Depends on the occasion, most of the time it's full gear, but then there's when I'm just going up the street or to work, then its a matter of what I'm in the mood to put up with.

    Pretty much like everyone else. When I ride to work I just wear jeans since I have to spend all day in them at the office. Any other time it's Draggin Jeans or JR Steel Jeans.

    Regardless of the trip, across the state or just down to the corner; 25 degrees or 105 degrees: Full-face helmet, gloves, jacket, and boots. Won't get on a bike without them, period.
