on the gear. i just got a full moto gp one peice suit, some sidi vertigo, and a shiny new soumy bostrom rep helmet. the comfort factor while riding has increased so much since i now get to worry just a lil less on the aftermath of chrashing and can focus that much more on the actual riding. it was a large purchase but well worth it IMO

I'd like to hear from the guys that don't wear full gear. There were a few on the last ride I was on. what's the deal? There's plenty of guys that SAY they wear full gear but I don't see it on the rides too much.
I'm just trying to get a discussion going. I don't want anyone to start flaming each other.

When and if I ride on the street, I wear a jacket, helmet, gloves, and maybe some boots if it's not too hot otherwise an old pair of sneakers so I don't get the black shift mark on the good ones. Yes, I'm serious. I've been down on the street, the track, and everything in between. I know the risks and I will choose to take the ones I deem worthwhile.
The only time I would wear full gear on the street is if I wanted to go drag my knee for some reason which I probably wouldn't so I really dont' wear full gear on the street.

Praise be to Ant.
Full Gear != Invincibility -- it just allows the coroner to pick up all your bodyparts at once when you crash trying to be Rossi on the public roads.

I have to admit that I'm guilty of not being geared up at times (lid, gloves, boots...and a vest number) but I've since become more conscious of it after hearing/reading other's stories about it. My excuse has always been the heat so I kinda force myself to take rides early in the day and late afternoon (wear my jacket also then). Hey, it's a start...or a concept at least!
