It will never happen to me attitude

Ride carefully and you won't need any gear.

[MSTRS:Me]

Why is it that you see motorcyclists?

Thank goodness that there is at least ONE person who does.
Think about it...

[nodrog:Me]

OMG, WTF, Dey Wil DYE!

[nzmikey]

None of this gear is what you would call "Safe" then .......

Due to a cock up on the "remembering to take some jeans with me" front I rode the scotter home from the gym a couple of weeks ago (jeans leather jacket helmet shorts and running shoes. Far out it felt like the most dangerous thing Ive done in years. Felt SO exposed it wasnt funny.

Why is it that some motorcyclists wave at each other and some don't. Is there a KB Wave??

Sorry wrong thread, just realised its an ATGATT thread!!!

[spinergy]

Why is it that you see motorcyclists riding their bikes in leather boots, leather gloves, leather jackets, making them look like a stormtrooper or something when they only need to get from A to B and statistically they are going to get to point B without falling off?

Statistically you're even more likely to get to point B in a car without crashing, but when you're in one you still wear your seatbelt don't you...

...most of the things that were never going to happen to me, happened years ago...when are the fucking things I want to happen to me going to happen...

It has happened to me, but I still shoot to the shop in a t-shirt and runners on the bike no worries. It's more likely I won't get hurt, and I can't usually be bothered suiting up for a longer period of time than the ride would take.

[Haggis2]

Where's the fun in that?

Even helmets. Most states in the United States of America -- the most litigious country on this planet -- allow motorcycles to be ridden by helmetless riders and pillions.

More chance of being shot than having a whoopsy off the bike

dear god man....ATGATT!....ATGATT!!!

My worst off happened 200m from my flat when I was just shooting 5min down the road to get something. Luckily I had all my gear on or it would have been a hell of a lot worse than it was. Even with all the gear I was hurting for a good 9 months...
My two cents, it could happen to you and wearing all the gear is part and parcel of riding the bike.

It's the law, of course I do. But not a five point harness jobbie combined with a flame retardant suit, helmet and neck support.

Part and parcel for you. I can't even list the accidents I've had whilst not wearing the gear and walked and ridden away from. My bad accidents it didn't make any difference what I was wearing, bones crush between cars and bikes nomatter what you wrap it with.
