I wear long johns, jeans, chaps, couple pairs of socks, boots, a few shirts, sweater, vest, heavy leather jacket, couple do rags and two pair of gloves. Its still cold up here eh!

 

My favorite weather is overcast so no sun in my eyes and less solar heating on dark clothes, and low 60's so I can wear leather and gloves and be comfortable. Never slid on pavement since I was a kid on a bicycle, but don't have to do it to know it would really smart. Gone down playing in the dirt with synthetic fabric riding gear and know you can walk away from a good slide if you have the right gear on. But summers almost anywhere are too hot for leather, so then I take my chances like most of us.

 

No jock strap even?? For true liberation you'll want to lose the helmet and goggles.

 

Jeans, boots, tshirt, and sun glasses here as weather permits. Maybe a rag on the head if I feel like it. More as it gets colder. To each their own. Ride how you want to ride, not how anybody else says. All the threads about PPE need to just worry about themselves and enjoy the ride. I don't dog them for riding with it and don't want to be dogged for not. Around here (SC) what I wear is the norm. Ride long, often, and enjoy it.

 

Jeans, thirst, helmet, sunglasses. Jacket and gloves if weather necessitates. Been down once before. Maybe I'm hard headed, or maybe I believe when it's your time, not much you can do about it.

 

I have ridden a couple of times without a helmet, and did not like it. I Usually wear a jacket but do own a vest for those 85+ days.

 

I dress for weather. Summer riding usually finds me in jeans and t-shirt. Shorts if it is what I'm wearing when I decide to get on the scoot. If I'm planning on riding when I get dressed in the morning, I'll usually put on jeans, but not religious about it. When I started riding in Oregon back in 87/88, there was no helmet law.....man I miss those days.

When my wife is asked if it bothers her they way I dress and how small my novelty helmet is, she responds with....."I figure he's a big boy, and can make his own decisions".

Yes I've been down a small handful of times in my 25ish years of riding.

 

"What" No boots..

Sounds like the normal wear for me and around here.
One thing won't do is flip-flops.

The wife wasn't pleased.

So what? They're never pleased. That's why I ain't got a wife!

 

I daren't ride without the gear - I suspect it would feel way too good!

Although frankly I'm a very ATGATT-type of rider. FF helmet, leather jacket, kevlar-lined jeans and I never ride at more than 15mph.
