WHAT DO Y'All THINK?

[Jefo246]

Saw a biker, not a kid, pass by me today (Colorado) 77 degrees, 14% humidity, wind wsw 19mph. No helmet, no shirt, no gloves, no boots, cut off jeans. Had monkey bars with throttle hand on them, the other resting on his hip traveling about 60mph on double lane road, medium traffic.
I ride with armored leathers, full face helmet, boots, gauntlet armored gloves, both hands on the bars. Quite a contrast. To each his own. If I knew how to do one of those polls I would, but for now, Which style do you go for or somewhere in between?

I've ridden with and without helmets and PPE. To each his own, but I personally can't stand wearing a helmet.

 

[Bucket99]

do you have one of these mounted on your bike? I'm impressed with all your observations.
as for the squid, he'll figure it out

 

[Jefo246]

Too funny, no it's on my phone

When I was in Colorado I wore shorts and a t shirt and a baseball cap while riding a Honda CBR.

I've hit the tarmac seriously 3 times, and have the scars to prove it, (ended up 1/2" shorter from one of them). boots, trousers, jacket, gloves, helmet; that's me.

Yes it does. All these years of moisturizing and skin care, I'll be damned if some pavement is gonna ruin it.

Have been riding for 46 years no road rash.
