RE: what do you wear riding?
Uhm, usually OP shorts, tank top and Nike tennis shoes. Yeah, almost 48 years old, rode dirt since I was 10, street since I was 17, and have been down more than once.

I don`t ride like I used to, but have some good experience to draw from. It`s too hot here in So. Cal to wear jeans and a jacket for a day putt.
 \\;
Of course, it also depends on where I`m headed and how far. Long freeway rides usually merit more clothes and protection.
 \\;
That`s just me though... I've been living on borrowed time for 28 years or so, and I thank the good Lord for that!

Besides - I`ve seen fools killed wearing more, and survive without a scratch with less... it`s all up to the good Lord and His plan in the long run.

In a nutshell- \\; wore shorts to the HD dealership the other day. \\; Took highway bypass loop around town. \\; Bee up shorts- stung me three times right next to the boys, 70 MPH to 0 in 4 seconds. \\; Riding buddy stopped/watched/laughed. \\; Lesson learned.

Jeans boots and shirt tails flappin in the wind. \\;\\\\\\; Add a jacket when its cold. \\;\\\\\\;
 \\;\\\\\\;
When I'm on the ZX-10R behind me, I'll wear a padded jacket and gloves regardless of temperature.
