Ok. so its a touch subject, some people are full racing leathers, others are shorts and flip flops.. but be honest... what do you really use on day to day riding...
I honestly just wear Helmet, Jeans, Shoes, Gloves, Jacket. No boots or riding pants.
Flame on if you must, but i really dont see the need for boots and pants... (yes i know, the obvious answer, "you will when you crash") but to me... how many people really drive their cars with 5pt harness and roll cage? maybe a fire extinguisher, fire retardant suit, helmet... you know, just to be completely safe? nobody. you throw your seat belt on and roll the dice.. how many people ride their bicycles without a helmet? or knee and elbow pads? its just an odds game...
you wake up, say what are my chances of crashing today.. 1/1000... helmet jacket and gloves should suffice. Now for people twistin up all day... or going WOT, thats a completely different story, but normal, around town riding...
... discuss....
