Mmm, I didn't mean to imply that it's inevitable that riders make the choice I'm making, just that eventually one makes that particular judgement call one way or the other.
Certainly if one was in one's first year on a bike, etc, it'd be foolhardy to go out without full gear, simply because bins do seem to happen at a greater frequency when one starts riding.
Edit: And I should note that the choice between jeans and full leathers is the only compromise I ever make. Armoured jacket, gloves, helmet and boots are non-negotiable when I get on a bike.
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.
