. Since leaving Missouri (where helmets are required by law), I have been appalled at the number of riders I see without proper gear. I would say at least 80% of riders I’ve seen here in the Chicago area do not have helmets, or any protective gear for that matter. What continues to surprise me is how many of these guys think they actually look good when they ride in just a t-shirt and jeans. Or no shirt. Or a helmet, with no shirt, and shorts. Why bother with the helmet? ANYway, I’m truly …

    i think the whole purpose in riding is to be free feeling so i dont think i need a “unifrom” to look attractive. If the ladies want you to have a full faced helmet on and a onepiece tracksuite to look attractive they are probably 14-19 and have never riden a motorcycle before which are all qualities that i dont want. I’m all for saftey if you want to feel safe but i’m all for riding how you want also. Helmet laws suck ass…

    i agree entirely, i actually just bought a joe rocket mesh jacket for upcoming summer because my leathers were unbearably hot.

    Sounds like you got your head on straight though, ride safe so you can continue to enjoy riding!

    what kinda bike you ride by the way? judging by the cockpit, looks like a kawasaki, but those mirrors are throwin me off.

    I can honestly can I’ve never gone out without a jacket, no matter how hot it is. I was a squid a couple times, but that was as a passenger in a “third world” country. There were no helmets or jackets available.

    I have a Fieldsheer mesh jacket for the summer, and it’s amazing!

    You can always get a back protector/core saver type of armor to wear as a bare minimum. Wearing that under a t-shirt would at least protect your vital organs… but road rash scars for life.

    A big one i get is “how are you going to wear a full suit of leathers, its 90 degrees out”

    Sometimes if its extremely hot i’ll go out in a t-shirt, but helmet, boots, gloves, and glasses bare minimum for summers.

    You can’t say you never went out in a t-shirt :) Sometimes it is just too damned hot, but i feel ya. To say vice versa, girls decked out in gear have that same sex appeal you were talking about.

    I know! The only more priceless part is the look on his face.

    Fuji FinePix. It’s an older model, but it works well enough. Got it refurbished for cheap.

    Yeah, that is a classic. I had fun collecting pictures for this video.

    Very true, but i live in south FL and though i love my leather jacket and it saved me when i had my accident, most of the year it is near impossible to wear more than helmet, gloves, jeans, and anything more than a shirt. Still, i love my leathers. ;)

    TOO FUNNY! So you thought I was hot in my full-face Arai, A-Star boots, Held gloves and AeroStitch jacket, eh? Glad to hear it.

    Next time I’ll wear the pants, or the A-Star race leathers! ;)

    I loved, loved, loved this video. I totally agree that gear is hot and smart. Also gear is so much cheaper then a skin graft.
    Great Video!

    You would absolutely hate it in PA then. I’ve only seen ONE other person with a jacket/pants, and a helmet this whole season. Most people I see are just in a shirt/helmet.
