    What kind of riding gear do you wear (A Mystery Squid/Bemused Tribute Poll)

    To commemorate a changing of the guards, and usher in a new era in NESR history, it is only appropriate that we honor the poll that started it all.

    Since the original poll was lost to the ravages of time (and controversial topics flaming), we dedicate this tribute poll to the men who started it all, Bemused and Mystery Squid. May their memories live forever in our hearts, minds, and of course, Mystery Squid's pants.

    Jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, no gloves and when in NH no helmet in MA a skull cap. If its cold I will wear the leather and gloves and maybe a full face helmet.

    Rev'it Replica leather jacket
    Rev'it GT leather pants
    Rev'it GT corse leather gloves

    and some wally world leather work boots because between buying a bike and all this gear I ran out of money, and needing new tires/sprockets/chain didn't help. I really only wear the pants on long/spirited rides because they are friggin hot so I'm just waiting to scrounge up some cash for some cooler pants and some sick boots.

    Re: What kind of riding gear do you wear (A Mystery Squid/Bemused Tribute Poll)

    Lately it has been t-shirt, shorts, sneakers, gloves, full face helmet. Of course I ride a cruiser. If I am going riding with my friends on their sport bikes, I will wear jeans instead of shorts.

    Depends on what I am doing. Short trip to work, less than 3 miles, just the helmet unless it's cold out. A little longer but nothing hard core helmet and gloves. If I'm out to beat the living shit out of the bike helmet, gloves and textile jacket w/armor.
