I bought an 05' HD 1200C. I love the bike and got a good deal. My question is what do you all suggest a new HD rider wear while riding? I live in Mass. and I do wear a DOT helmet all the time. But what clothing should I wear at a minimum?
I do have to disclose I went on a 150 mile ride today through Vermont and New Hampshire and wore shorts and a tee-shirt. I did feel free but as I pass alot of HD's people seem to gear up. Thanks for helping me out.
What you ware is your deicsion and based on the risk you are willing to take. If you are dressing for saftey you want boots above the ankle at least Jeans and a good riding jacket.

We're all supposed to be adults here, you and you alone can decide what you will. or will not wear.
I wear what I'm comfortable in and when it's hot out that would be shorts and a t-shirt. Wear what you like and know the consequences of what may happen if you go down.
