I'm a gray, fat and fairly ugly kinda guy; if I was dressing for comfort or image I'd be doin' the robe and bag routine; robe for comfort, bag over my head to maintain my "image".
I have a JR mesh suit with armor for the really hot. disgusting days with my wet sweatshirt underneath. For the rest of the time I have a zip together two piece. None of my gear is new 'cept helmet. Most of it is 10+ yrs old. I just take care of it. Nobody says ya gotta go drop three grand today on gear: I bought my suit (A*)second hand on CL for $175.... I just don't ride without jacket, gloves, helmet, boots 'round town, full suit any other time. But it's a PERSONAL CHOICE. I know what works, I know my odds of roadrash are better on a bike than in a humvee. If I CHOOSE not to wear gear; well; foo on me. I guess the boys at the shop are gonna laugh at my debradement stories and call me dipsh*t 'cause I know better. 'Cause we ALL know better...

I don't think I will laugh at anyone that crashes. Kinda fucked up.
I guess anyone that does'nt ride motorcycles shouldn't feel bad or should laugh at any rider that gets hurt or killed cause they got on a bike to begin with and they're dangerous? I almost always have at least a jacket, gloves, helmet and boots on but i have been known to take a ride to run errands with out a jacket. Would it be on me if I got hurt? yes. But I would sure hope people wouldn't look at it like I deserved to get hurt. Sad.

There is a woman at work that has asked me repeatedly over a period of years, "Ain't you hot in that?" when she sees me in my leathers. Her husband rides a Harley. I decided the next time she asks I am going to ask, "Ain't you tired of asking me the same question over and over and over??"
What I really want to say is... Even with my leathers on I am cooler than you since you're carrying around an extra 100+ pounds!!! Ain't you hot in THAT??? |
