BTW......discuss. no judging :)
I atleast wear running shorts and flip flops.
JK, when I had my bike I always wore gloves because I didn't like the feel without them. I normally wore a helmet unless I was just on small street or around the hood. Not wearing a helmet going fast was annoying anyways.
I always wore a jacket if I was going for a ride or going on the highway. If I was going to the store then sometimes no.
I saw a dude without a shirt the other day, he looked hardcore.

All the gear. All the time. Helmet. Jacket. Boots. Gloves.
The only time I won't wear my leathers though is if I'm not going to be hanging off the bike in a canyon somewhere. They're a little unnecessary for everyday riding since you can't wear pants underneath them.

I always were gloves, i as well dont like the feel of riding without them. I always have to wear a helmet because its state law in Nebraska, but even if it wasnt, id wear one no matter what. I'll wear my jacket if im going riding with people, but around town if its nice i wont. Same with shorts, but i prefer not wearing them period because i know that its stupid of me.

I sometimes ride w/o the jacket but I always have a helmet and gloves on. I dont ride in shorts anymore like I've done in the past.

My minimum is jacket, helmet, gloves, jeans and some type of boots. But most of the time you will see me with full leathers on unless I'm commuting to work or something very local and being strict on speed limit paced.

I always have gear on, I don't feel comfortable with no jacket, helmet on.
I don't always wear boots though...

I sweat like a motherfucker in my leather jacket, but I refuse to wear textile.

Wear gloves, jacket and helmet. This few days haven't been wearing a jacket because I'm suppose to receive a package from the awesome UPS guy...

Still not quite sure what I want. I loved the powerband on the F4i, but the R6 was a little more comfortable. My friend with the Ninja is leaving for London in September so I'll have access to his bike for whenever pretty much. My guess is I'll prolly wait until winter to buy since they'll be cheaper and that way I'm not hopping straight to a 600 either and give myself a good 6 months riding on a smaller bike.
