Your philosophy on wearing gear

Dnyce · 04-07-2008, 03:52 PM

i grew up with my dad telling me always wear a fullface, jacket, boots, jeans gloves. he wouldnt even let me go around the block in a residential neighborhood at 11am with zilch traffic on his bike without it. he'd make me change my shoes, and id have to wear his jacket/helmet/gloves.

so thats how i am-cept the one time i didnt wear my jacket and was out riding around (went to eat, bout a hour of good riding b4 and after) was the one time i had a altercation with a tahoe. bike totaled, but i was fine. tahoe got towed away.

i work a split shift, and im close to the beach, so i do sometimes ride in just a tshirt and gloves, fullface, at around 1030am-no1 on the road, 15miles an hour, cruising in 2nd gear by the coast for about 20min. i think thats fine.

and at the track-no helmet, gloves, or jacket. my bike used to be the pitbike lol-racing im fully suited

i want a new custom leather 2pc suit, and some sidi boots.
