It's amazing to see how many people out there actually ride without any proctective gear on. During the last heat wave we had , people in cars were looking at me in disbelief because I was in full leathers. I lost track of how many times somebody asked my I was wearing full leathers in such heat. Yes I was a little hot in leathers during that time, but I had my Camel pack filled with powerade to help me stay hydrated. I can't even say how many bikes I have gone by during this summer where the rider was in a tee shirt and shorts. Having went down last season without any protective gear on, I made a vow that I'd never leave the house not suited up if I was riding. I have kept that vow especially when I am on the sport bike. Every now and then when I am on the the cruiser I am so tempted to saddle up in jeans and Tee shirt, so I can look like Billy Bad Ass cruising the streets with my 10in gunz ripping out of my T-Shirt. Anyway on the note, guys take each day of riding as the day that the worst could happen and dress accordingly.
