BLING!!

I wear a couple of different armored leather jackets. I've got two: A leather Yamaha racing jacket put out by Joe Rocket, that's light enough to wear in summer, and a thicker black leather jacket.

Harley Davidson gauntlet gloves.

Half-helmet, boots, and I have a set of Ray-Bans for daylight riding, and an amber set of sunglasses that are more like goggles for night riding.

If the weather is cool out I will put away my flip flops and wear shoes.

If it's cold, I'll wear my chaps. Most definitely! I've ridden in 25F weather with only my fingers and toes getting a bit frosty, but otherwise, more or less impervious to the temperatures. If I look like I should be singing, "YMCA," well... That's the way it goes.

Maybe I'll pick up a pair for next Winter, take a few photos and let you guys have at it. I just need to find the ones where the butt hangs out naked...

EDIT: When I say "have at it" I don't mean "have at it". Glad I went back and read this one. I don't need anybody offering to share a tent again...

Re:riding gear 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
I added a airbag vest and a airbag jacket with armour that converts to a vest. Pants boots chaps if it's freezing or kevlar over-pants. Helmet sometimes I'm going carbon fiber maybe wear it more often. Gloves sometimes mostly at night baby steps I guess. Never shorts or flip flops Panoptic or willey x day /night or Maui jims had 4 lasik surgeries so limited in what I can wear in the sun. River road hi dri for rain or kevlar pants and coat. For my seat shaggy sheep skin great to stay warm in the cold and cool in the heat Merino from oz.

Do have a amour coat also but I think it will sit out this year.

Chico,
I think I saw those in a Mad Max movie or maybe it was the Planet of the Apes!
