Jacket,Pants,boots?

Just woundering ... I wanna be safe .. but I like the feel of rideing in a pair of dicky work shorts and a t-shirt with some vans ..lol ..

but i know its not too safe .. what do you suggest ?

 

well i always wore shorts, tshirt, tennis shoes, my lid and some dirtbike gloves. well i just took a spill at 100 mph doing a 3rd gear standup on my 929. thankfully i had on my leather jacket and jeans this time. the jeans ripped through my right knee and i got pretty bad road rash but if i had on tshirt and shorts and i would probably have not walked away. so i suggest atleast jeans and and a leather jacket and gloves and helmet. and i live on the gulf of mexico and know how hot it can get but your skin is worth alot more

 

I always wear my helmet and jacket when I stunt, jeans and gloves included. Jeans are ok protection wise in a slide, not really an impact on a smooth surface.......rougher roads eat them away pretty quick(Yes, experience on a smooth one thankfully). Nothing is 100%, but the more you wear, the better it gets.

 

I wear Leather jacket, Speedrag Tech. pants, gloves , work boots and my lid.

I took a 80-90mph spill in jeans, tank top, and sneakers. Learned my lesson.
Road rash on both knees, Right arm, shoulder, and back. Fractured elbow and wrist.

 

I couldn't agree more with the previous opinions. After over a decade on a bike, and unfortunately after as many spills. I have never, and will never ride w/o my gear: 1.4mm double-stitched leather jacket, full-length gloves, helmet and at least jeans. I live in Florida and it is ridiculously hot, but I don't even consider it an option to go w/o. Once you get hurt enough you will most probably never ride again w/o protection (if that's what you call leather), but why learn the hard way? I honestly feel naked w/o my gear.

 

i normally wear shoes or my racing boots, jeans, sweatshirt on warmer days jacket on cold ones, my lid, and teknic racing gloves.

Riding in shorts is pretty retarded imo

buck naked is the only way

 

you don't want roadrash on your ****.

 

I cant top some of the other stories but ill try.
Took a pavement ride in shorts, shirt, tennis shoes, and a lid,55or65mph. When the ride was over Ive got 3 pins in my foot, roadrash all over and rash so bad on my right hand, I left the ligaments to my thumb on the road, and i have no function in it. When im able to ride again, full leather gear no matter if its 100 degrees. I suggest u do the same. Im FUC@!#& serious dipshit.

 

helmit, gloves, jeans and jacket or a t-shirt

On an added note, I would prefer to have actual leathers over the ballistic jacket, but it's what was in my budget at the time(and I got a great price).

 

I always wear my gear.

 

i was 12vn with jeans t shirt and steel toed boots and droped it smashed my foot and rashed my *** and i was only going 15 or so... now i wear gloves all the time and jeans and sweatshirt...its getting cold out

although i wish i had some leathers

 

depends on where i'm ridin. gloves always.. lid's are optional here, an i got all side streets to the j-o-b.. so if it's nice i don't wear it. anywhere near the highway i got it on.. an some solid shoes. (dont' like the racin boots)

if ur askin bout wearin ridin pants bein dorky, personally, i like some racing pants or plain leathers.

Arai helmet, Icon gloves or joe rockets cuz theyre cheap. Usually just wear lugs or sometimes if im really serious, my Super Techs. I wear a armored jacket when its cold or when I'm doing faster rides. Otherwise, for slow stuff, or just cruising, I wear a hooded sweatshirt.

 

Leather Jacket, Gloves, Helmet, Jeans

 

No matter what else I wear, I always wear gloves.

 

same as most.. jeans, lid,(at least) gloves and my sneaks.. i need to get some pimp boots.. my bike trashed my T-macs..
