ATGATT here as well. I would feel absolutely nekkid out there if I didn't put on a part of the gear. All or nothing.

Z1R helmet, FirstGear Tex/Leather jacket and a FirstGear Mesh Tex II for hot days, FirstGear Mesh HT Air overpants, Alpinestars Ridge waterproof boots, Held "Steve" gloves and Maui Jim sunglasses. Looking into a new helmet... a lot of research to do though....

I wear helmet, gloves, jacket but no boots.

My roomate dumped his R6 on our driveway the other day because he was wearing tennis shoes. The laces got caught on one of the pegs, and down he went. Fortunately, he was all right, but his new sneakers ripped and the bike got dinged a bit. I wish I was there to see that "Hall of Shame moment." Anyway, lesson learned. Thats why I always wear boots, and make sure those laces are not exposed.

Since we have had a whole batch of new member on this forum, I thought I would bring this thread out of the archives and see what how much gear they wear.

Opps didn't realize the poll was closed.
