RE: Do you wear leather?
About 90% of the time I have full leathers on. Unelss it is outrageously hot, we don't have that to often up here in the northland. If you have ever slid across the tar at 70 mph, you would decide it best to wear something too. Not that I think I'll go down again, but **** happens that you can't control and road rash sucks ***. I would never give someone **** about what they do or don't wear. Once you do that you become a poser. It's not about what you wear when you ride or what you ride it's that you do ride.
Of course if you wear no protective gear and go down, don't expect sympathy from me when your road rash hurts.

RE: Do you wear leather?
Seems most people who joke about chaps live in warm climates. Here in northern Illinois, chaps are more the rule than the exception. You eitherdress warm or you freeze.
