#398364 nasomi (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   So last weekend a buddy of mine and I are out riding, and go to lunch. I wear jeans/shorts, tshirt, sneakers, and a half-shell. He, on the other hand, has a full pant and jacket that goes over his pants and tshirt, gloves like you'd wear in the dead of winter shoveling snow, boots that come half way up his calf, and this insane helmet that clicks on to the suit's jacket. And it's all silver. So we pull up to the restaurant and I'm walking up looking normal, he's got his full getup on, and a little kid walking by says "Look mommy, an astronaut!" I was on the ground laughing, and now he's known as the space cadet.   Logged     Jay 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600 2004 Ford Excursion Diesel   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398366 zoom1056 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 606 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'd say you both on opposite ends of the spectrum, he was dressed for the crash and you.....well shorts on a bike, thats cadet also IMHO, (no offense)   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #398369 mkayx (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1125 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   i have never worn shorts on a bike but do not wear a helmat so like you i dress for the ride my wife dresses for the crash much like your buddy. in hind sight you and i are the ones that may not be smart but every dies sooner or later   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #398375 nasomi (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'll admit, wearing shorts isn't the greatest idea, and I seldom do, but sometimes it's just to hot to ride in jeans. However the chance of me wearing a full getup like that, just ain't happening.   Logged     Jay 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600 2004 Ford Excursion Diesel   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398386 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Safety issues and judgements aside. That reminds me of some of my own experiences: ...I've ridden all kinds of bikes over the past 30 years, including sport bikes. When I road one, I'd wear my jeans, riding boots, gloves, ballistic jacket and full face, but I always felt I never looked quite as cool as the guys with the full on racing, one piece leathers, and matching carbon fiber boots, gloves etc., all done up with wild graphics to match the bike. That is until they step off the bike and walked into a diner/coffee shop/watering hole etc. Unless you're standing in the pit/paddock of a race track, off the bike, it's impossible to look cool wearing full race leathers.   Logged     “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398388 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 2972 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   personally im very fond of my skin however i dont dress in either get up,for me it's boots jeans jacket and half helmet but ride however you want just dont expect much sympathy from me if you lose the skin off your legs   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/07/11 15:30 By Tug.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #398435 DRABHorse (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 240 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Old adage..

(User) I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley Platinum Boarder Posts: 1300 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I've yet to see a temp too hot for jeans and boots on the bike. A little ball sweat sure beats sun burn/pipe burn/road burn!   Logged     guns are meant to be shot Harley, not thrown   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398455 roadstar16002000 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 68 Re:Space Cadet 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I agree with the last few comments! Only the last couple days have I rode with just shirt on top but usually always wear leather jacket(old fashioned type -NO removable lining--NO armor NO VENTS) really hot on warm days BUT like they say Protect what you want to keep.! I burn easy ! Always wear long pants--either blue jeans or work pants! Have Modular full face--bike too loud to wear half helmet!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
