I need to loose about 10 lbs so I can fit back into my Draggin Jeans. I feel much better in those then regular jeans.

My policy is currently evolving. My first parking lot sessions were in a t shirt and shorts, but as I begin to buy and collect gear the safer I feel with it on.

Just picked up my jacket, so at this point I am up to jacket, gloves and a helmet. Its about to get hot as hell here in Georgia, but I plan on wearing my (leather) jacket with gloves and a helmet every time I hop on.

Full suit, gloves, boots & lid 85 % of the time....the others % is jacket, gloves, lid & boots. Road rash at 60 mph SUCKS ! I know and have the scars to prove it.

I live in a no Helmet law state in the past 5 years I have had to twice make the decision to go down. ( In both case there was a cages "I didnt see you" involved I wear gear all the time, But I have to confess I use different gear on different bikes

I like your attitude

Come pay day, I'm buying another pair of riding jeans, and a back protector.

I don't think I'll buy any gear...but who knows. I'm always looking. I want a new helmet...but I just bought one last season.
