I always wear full leathers - everytime - no excuses.

Icon Alliance Helmet (black - kicks ASS)
Joe Rocket Blaster Jacket (red, white, black)
Joe Rocket Speedmaster Boots (black)
Joe Rocket Highside Gloves (yes, I dig the Joe Rocket stuff)
Takei leather pants
First Gear leather pants

I'm probably going to get one of the Icon spine guards. I'm also looking for a 2pc. Joe Rocket Highside Suit (2002 - 2003) model. If you have one to sell, PM me. Thanks!

Allways wear full gear everytime I'm out, I did 8k miles last year and no spills, then taking a little trip around to my local shop to get a newspaper I had some woman t-bone me and write the bike off, wearing full gear I hit a lampost at about 25mph. Got up, brushed myself off and walked over to my bike which was a mess..

So after my insurance payout I bought the exact same gear again..

Arai RX7 Corsair
Dainese Scud Jacket
Dainese Keep Pants
Dainese Back Protector Vest
Alpinestars GP Tech Glove
Alpinestars SMX Plus Boots

I'll wear all that even if the sun is melting the road.

It depends really, but I have two basic setups based on what kind of riding I will be doing.

(1) For blasts through the city and maybe a short highway jaunt in the summer I wear:
- Helmet (either the Arai RX7 or Shoei RF1000)
- Triumph fully perforated and CE armored black leather jacket
- Jeans (usually my thick and cheap 501's but lately some $150 AG jeans, which is stupid)
- Alpinestars SMX boots
- Teknic Violator gloves

(2) For winter rides or summer highway rides I wear:
- Spidi Hook 2 piece suit
- Same helmets
- same gloves
- same boots

I will probably sell the Hook suit soon since I want a suit that fits my narrow frame better like an Alpinestars, or Dainese, etc. I also wouldn't mind another leather jacket that's black and non-perforated (probably a Dainese, they fit really well for people that aren't overweight). And now that I think of it, I would love to ditch my SMX boots and get a pair of Sidis finally. Damn, that's going to be one hefty friggin bill to pay. Oh well, decided against getting a 42" flat screen TV this year. Motorcycles are more important, though the TV would turn my house into one pimp babe lair.
