I just wanted to see if I was alone as far as my gear? I wear my full face helmet, gloves, boots, vanson perf. leather jacket(for when it's HOT!!

My upper half is well protected, however, it really seems that if I was to go down, that my denim levi's just will not protect me well enough..

Any thoughts on what I should wear? Not sure if I'm the leather chaps kinda guy, (having visions of the village people. :hry: not that there's anything wrong with that!!
 
Scorpion Exo700 helmet.
Icon TiMax2 mesh, add the liner in the fall to keep warmish. Classic leather when colder.
Cheap gloves that need to be upgraded.
Regular pants.
Cat steel toe work boots.

Oh, dang!
I misunderstood the title to this thread.
SORRY!


Seriously:

JOE ROCKET METEOR JACKET, LACE-UP ENGINEERING BOOTS, GEL-PADDED GLOVES BY OLYMPIA, and EITHER A FULL FACE KBC or A HALF-HELMET BY THH.
 
Non-Lubricated? That requires foreplay then:shm:

Meanwhile back on the ranch

Joe-Rocket Gloves
V-Can Fullface Helmet
Oxtar Boots
Vanson Ventmax mesh jacket
Pro-Rider Leather (Heavy cooler weather jacket)
Wiley-X Safety Sunglasses & Clears for under the visor

Also a polyester Ninja mask that keeps my face and neck warm
 
Rockhead,
I've been looking at the Vanson ventmax, how do you like it? and if you don't mind, how much did you pay for it? Did you order from their website? sorry for all of the questions, but I'm looking to replace my Joe Rocket Alter Ego. Thanks.
 
It's awesome in hot weather but dipping below 70 bring your leathers. (Long trips just bungee the jacket on the handlebars)

I paid $139 but I have a link at work for $89 that might still work.

I certainly hope it will help in an incident it feels like it would help from road rash.

Edit/

Sorry I deleted the link from my work computer.
 
Fox Creek Leather - Vented Racing Jacket - when cold
Joe Rocket Jacket - with removable outer - when hot
Scorpion Exo - Full Face helmet
River Road Gel Gloves - When warm
Lined Deer Skin Gauntlets - when cold
Jeans
Chippewa boots
 
I used to wear hockey padding and galoshes but people stared. I gotta get around to upgrading the wardrobe. I do like my knee high doc martins.
 
I am pretty much the worst example to follow: I quit wearing protective gear 20 years ago, and ride in Tony Lama boots, wrangler jeans, a sleeveless denim shirt, and a non DOT beanie in states that make me wear a helmet.
 
Teknic jacket
HJC CL-MAX full-face helmet
TourMaster leather gloves
Levi's
generic boots from K-Mart (not steel-toed; a really hard whack will break your foot AND trap your foot in the boot, will need to be removed at a hospital)
 
Hi everyone
I am new here, own a C90 love it. I wear either a full or 3/4 face helmet by HJC, thin palm padded leather gloves (colder times I wear my Olympia thermal gloves) Leather jacket, take liner out when warmer. Regular Levi's on bottom and Timberland steel toe pro series boots. I have dropped my C90 1 time in 2nd gear, jean protected me for the most part. Still had road rash but no cuts.
