The Protective Gear Poll

[Biff]

Better to have $2000 worth of gear on a $2000 motorbike, than no gear on a $4000 bike, methinks!

Well said.
I know it's a choice thing, but I honestly think you're playing with fire by choosing not to wear at least an armoured jacket & trousers and a good pair of gloves and boots.

Too many people blow their budgets on a bike and worry about protective clothing later. Sorry if I offend, but that's plain dumb.

My communting wear - Cordura armoured jacket and trousers. Proper boots and gloves

Play wear - leather & armoured pants or Draggin armoured cargo pants (for touring and leisurely rides). Leather/cordura Hein Geicke armoured jacket & Knox back protector. Oh, and a Browning 9mm just for those dick head cage drivers.

Jandals, shorts, no gloves? - You need a brain transplant ( no apology if I offend this time).

was over there a month ago when it was 16-20 deg and no-one wore protective clothing then either. dont think its a heat thing. dont think anyone owns leathers over there!

Aaaah - Browning 9mm - bit bulky but very nice to play with.....I had several situations this week where it would have come in handy . . . .

Curious to know how good kevlar jeans are.

I know Alarumba has got some Draggins.

Welcome to the site, dude. BTW, you have someone's old username, I think. Wear it with pride.
