IMHO jeans at least.&amp\\;nbsp\\; If not for the fact of road rash if you dump it, you dont wanna fry your calf on a 400 deg. pipe,&amp\\;nbsp\\;or even a primary (they can get pretty hot in the summer!)&amp\\;nbsp\\; A jacket isnt the most comfortable in the heat ( ive been guilty of ridint shirtless a few times, not the smartest thing) and boost almost always unless its a quick jump sor something not planned then the sneakers might stay on. I feel you should try to stay as safe as possible, not because of your own actions, but the any of about 3 million stupid things someone in a cage can do!

RE: what do you wear riding?

I don't care if it's 120 degrees outside you'll see me in chaps. Had road rash too many times over the last 30 plus years and don't care about the cool factor or what other riders think. Don't always wear a shirt, but my experience has taught me that on a big twin the 1st thing to hit the ground is your legs.

Until you've been down the road or stuck under a 350Kg bike by your ankle I guess you'll have to go with what feels right!
