I usualy ride with timbs, jeans, leather jacket and helmet! But I'd like to find some pants (not leather) for the twistys! I recomend more, but am not big on leather pants, I feel like michale jackson or something!

I occasionally don't wear my leather pants to work...but actually, the more I do it the less comfortable I feel.

Other then that I wear helmet, gloves, boots, back protector, leather jacket, and leather pants all the time.

The only time I don't wear full gear is when I'm going from my apt to work, in which case I'll wear boots, jeans, jacket, gloves, helmet.

edit:... it's all in town, less than a mile, all sub-20mph.

I put most gear most of the time for this reason. I will pull the bike in and out of the garage without my gear on. Also on the street I wear everything except leather pants. I will never go without a helmet. Especially after seeing what my crash at JGP did to my brand new one yesterday.

You went down at Jennings? I'm sorry to hear that man. So how are you and the bike?
