because some people would rather be hot in the summer, instead of cold in the winter with no skin on them.
Jeans typically dissipear in less then 5 feet of skidding on them, that means your skin is dissipearing on the next 100 feet.

if im just gonna cruise i still wear my gloves and helmet but depending on how blistering hot it is here in clearwater i might leave the jacket at home.

Hold up a sec, from reading all these post's i get the impression that a helmet isn't manditory in the states is that true?
I wear a helmet, gloves, jacket and jeans when its cold
I wear a helmet,gloves, shirt and jeans when its warm
and finally i wear helmet, shorts when its really hot.

Not required in certain states, it's not federally mandated. NH does not require one.

Re: What do you wear when you ride?
Casual riding - Lid, boots, gloves, pants, goggles.
Real riding - Lid, neck roll, 661 pressure suit, elbow guards, knee guards, ankle guards, gloves, pants, jersey, kidney belt, goggles.
I never ride without a lid, not even to my nextdoor neighbour. Ive met one of my friends who just "went to the shop quickly" in the road, one daft c(_)nt just backed out of his yard without looking.....nasty. Its only about half a mile from his house to the shop.
