Old thread.. but I just got myself some armored pants and boots. I always wear helmet, jacket, and gloves..
Just wondering if you all wear ALL the gear just out on the street.. maybe commuting to work?
I wear jeans and boots (not motorcycle boots) now but I'm thinking of wearing everything. Yeah people might think I'm a little paranoid or weird or "wanna be racer" for wearing all that.. but can't be too safe?
I am bad commuting to work. Have the helmet, leather jacket, and good gloves ...but just Dockers and casual shoes. My commute in is about 7 miles and I purposely come through town so my speeds are lower (30-40), though I do get up to speed in the final 2 miles. Still it's not going to be pleasant if I go down.
Any other time I'm covered, weak point being jeans.
