Your philosophy on wearing gear - Page 2

Don't wear gear when pulling the bike in and out of garage.

Here's my 90% full geared... the only thing missing to make it 100% would be my nolan full face modular.

At the very least i'm in jeans my jacket, helmet, gloves and boots but most of the time if i'm not just going to the store or something I have my textiles on. prolly wont up grade gear until i upgrade the bike.

That's my philosophy. I ride in jeans a lot. But, ever since the track, I don't push nearly as hard on the street. If I know I'll be riding aggressive, I'm fully suited. But not to work and back

The track really changes how you approach riding on the street, doesn't it?

Yep, it's just not worth it. I find that now I "save up" for when I'm in an environment with no cars, no gravel, no animals, etc. I have one road where I try to keep my skills sharp. Other than that, mostly just cruising the countryside

Exactly. I turn it up just a little bit on deserted roads.

I'm with Drewpy on this one... Min. Helmet Boots, Gloves, Jacket... sometimes though I just wear jeans... I try to put my shin/knee protectors under but not always.

but yeah... Helmet boots gloves and jacket are mandatory IMO
