...currently working on getting better gear but usually text. jacket, gloves, boots..sometimes text pants...

[KevinB]

Assless chaps!


2 piece leathers for track and fast rides. Jeans and jacket for cruising.

[GMAN226]

If you are planning on racing definitly get a one piece. If not get a 2 piece that zips togher all the way around. Just my 2 cents

G-man

I coulda swore i saw you up at Thayer St with shorts and a T-shirt last year

[R7]

Yeah, shoulda been multi question

I had to vote hoodie, shorts and flip flops (though i don't ride with flipflops) for my beach rides
Leather jacket and regular pants for the commutes to work.
Full leather for the rare day long sport rides i go on

[Degsy]

Sorry, I can't change it to multi-question at this point.

[By-Tor]

[Ducrappy]

[OreoGaborio]

A* GPU 2-piece suit
A* GP Plus gloves
A* SMX Race boots
Shoei RF1000 helmet

on track i wear it all obviously.... just need to add a back protector

on the street i wear all of that but the bottom 1/2 of the suit & i just throw on jeans

[EvilTwinCBR600]

leather armored jacket, jeans.work boots steel toe or alpine star stunt shoes gloves

[tiltedworld]

Leisure rides or track - 1-piece suit, back protector, boots, gloves and lid.

Commuting or running a quick errand - Leather jacket, back protector, boots, gloves and lid. Wish I had a 'Stich for commuting, maybe next year.

Learned the hard way about a year ago to wear my damn boots, even for a 5 mile slow ride to run an errand. First time down in 6 years for riding, luckily wasn't more injured and learned a valuable gear lesson.

I never leave the house without a back protector either. I've seen enough crashes where it has helped save further trauma.

[Awesome]

leather jacket, gauntlet gloves, jeans, and above the ankle boots.

[LuvDog]

Before I moved up here I was a total squid.

Shorts, t-shirt, sneakers.

Now that I'm up here... I'm trying to get better about gear.

Now I have my helmet, leather jacket and riding boots.

I'm trying to get used to gloves too.

Now I just need to get a good pair of riding pants.

[ancosta]

JR Alter Ego Jacket, Ballistic pants
A* GPS Waterproof boots
Olympia gauntlet gloves

I do jeans when cruising but really don't like to.

How are the armored Draggin jeans in a crash?

From the squid POV, I can say it wasn't confidence inspiring to break 100 on my way to the office while wearing chinos!

I was thinking of a 1 piece Aerostich suit for work/commute. Or maybe I'll wear it on my late night Thayer Street food/pose runs. A blaze orange one would go well with my "beginner's cruiser".

[joberly]

For the street usually I'm wearing a leather jacket, Vanson gloves, A* boots, and jeans. If I'm going on a serious street ride, I'll wear a full tex suit.... but if I'm going to the track I'll wear the new Vanson custom 1-piece that I just recieved word that it's done, just gotta go pick 'er up!

[RedRider]

#1 JEDI FORCEFIELD
#2 Helmet

I am a gear whore.

Currently: Leather jacket, leather pants, textile one piece, deerskin zcustom gloves, teknic violator gloves, teknic suit, gaerne boots, draggin jeans, A* back protector. I love them all dearly, each is appropriate for different situations.

Hopefully with the addition of a pair of a* supertech boots in a few hours if I win the auction, not a big fan of the gaerne boots on the track, they're a bit sloppy and prevent me from getting my toes up on the pegs like I'd like to.
