...and it's easier to replace sweat than it is skin.
ATGATT (i've had enough crashes to know better) though i do substitute jeans for leather pants sometimes.
"it's too hot for gear!!!" is not an excuse, it's only 95.
new england pussies, try riding in full gear in south FL or south west AZ.
Warm weather = Revit Dakar pants, Revit Ignition jacket, Oxtar Infinity boots. Yes, it's still warm, but vents well when moving. I went for non-black for the colours, both are sort of silver-grey, which seems to help with not baking to death.
My Firstgear kilimanjaro jacket + firsgear overpants cook me alive, but are wearable down to 22F (lowest so far I've braved the ice in)
I could not care less what others choose to do...I had my share of gearless rides.
But I can't say that I don't cringe every time I pull up behind someone with a girl in a tank top shorts and high heals on the back of a sportbike. And again even more when we come to a stop and it is apparent the driver is having some difficulty controlling his bike. Yikes....
i find so long as i can keep moving i am fine in my leather jacket with the vents open.. and since i don't live in the city i can find a way to keep moving most of the time..

I don't give a shit if I get sweaty
I rather save my skin if I go down
You nancies probably wear a condom while jerking off too.

oh nevermind...
"fuckit!"
Hmm... Lets turn this around.
Motorcycling like group sex, (because of others behaviors that have factors on your riding) it is a risky behavior, So is unprotected group sex. It might be fun and exciting but lets look at the risks...
You have chosen a sportbike to do this behavior so lets say you choose a "fast" girl for sex.
This girl may or may not have an STD. Do you use protection?
There are others in the room (on the street), do you take precautions so you don't get "rear ended"
On the other hand you choose to ride a HOG. Is your risk minimized?
How often would you have unprotected group sex if you could?...
Just a different way to think about it.
"I'd rather ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow"
