Casper Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Depends what I'm doing. If I'm just cruising (riding to work for instance) I'll wear:a helmet (KBC Reaper or Icon Mainframe)jacket (Joe Rocket textile, A* leather, or Teknic leather)gloves (Joe Rocket textile or Teknic leather gauntlet)jeansbootsIf I'm going for a "spirited" ride, I'll wear the full leathers.

playerpro153 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The thing that killed me was passing some guy on the highway on an F4i wearing flip-flops, cargo shorts, a polo and sunglasses. Same guy again at night with NO glasses. I talked to him at the Lane ave exit (we're both students at OSU) and he's only owned the bike for a week the first time I saw him. I rightfully told him he's an idiot for novice riding with ABSOLUTELY no gear. The bike was intended to add to his fashion statement of "fratty chotch squid".

Give them his description..But only bad thing about that is it would probably save his life and defeat Darwins theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 i think that boots are a must. tennis shoes will most likely fall off, or you will really screw up your ankles in a crash, with race boots there is very little side to side movement, and close to no movement for your foot to be stretched backwards. +100000 for boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 That's my gear. I'm picking up a 56 JR speedmaster jacket this month too though. Vented. Not bad until it reaches the 90's.You know what they say though..."Sweat wipes off, road rash doesn't." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
