I ride naked cause I'm silly like that, SILLY... Actually I wear a Johnny Rocket mesh type jacket w/armor, a Bilt FF helmet, steel toe boots, and Alpine riding gloves. Haven't really given any thought what anyone else thinks to be honest. Just know that the only real thing that's going to keep you safe is your noodle in how you ride. Take less risks = less chance you're going to get hurt. Take more then your chances of getting hurt go up exponentially. But, you still can't control all the idiot driver's out there. But you can think ahead. Be safe.

ff sparx helmet, s/s or l/s shirt depending on weather. switchback jacket unless really cold, then leather jacket, jeans and my military boots. by the way, my understanding on the sparx helmets are if you have accident and damage the helmet, with a copy of a police report, they will replace it. not sure if they're still doing that or not
