Basketball shorts, tank top and flip flops. . Oh and aviator glasses

I see a hayabusa in your future.

And take a selfie to compare the before and after condition of your body after the crash. :tup:

Selfies while i ride instead. X)

2 weeks ago I got a Fieldsheer armored mesh jacket and waiting on the delivery this coming Tuesday of xtreemgear armored mesh pants. Love the jacket and super excited to get the pants. I feel much more confident wearing proper gear.
Again, GREAT thread.

Finally had to get new riding pants. Seems the old ones shrunk at the waist line. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Bought some Alpinestar riding pants. They are waterproof and breathable material. Very comfy and a relaxed fit with a larger waist size. I did try just regular jeans and shin/knee protection but was not all that enamored with the thought of an oops with denim covering my butt. Had a very pleasant and safe ride earlier tonight. I was wondering if there would be too much of a breeze blowing up the legs but it was not noticeable.

One thing I will be doing in the future is having the old rear zipper from the JR pants sown to the new pants so I can zip my JR jacket to the pants at the rear. This is a feature to prevent the jacket from sliding up and uncovering my back in case of a serious slide.

Price wise the new Alpinestar pants are bit much after not having seen any prices for a few years but I feel they are a good product and I really can't live in the past and expect prices from the past.

I am all about dressing for the slide and enjoying the ride. At times I tend to preach safety but usually shy away from it after an initial comment. For the folks who wear little to no safety gear please be careful. It boils down to how much risk a rider is willing to accept when it comes to an oops and possible injury. Even with all the gear you can still be hurt but hopefully a lot less. Just the other day I talked to a coffee bud who hadn't been around since last year. Seems he was healing up and doing rehab to get mobile again. He said a cell phone zombie took him out broadside. His bike was destroyed, his other bike is for sale and he will never be able to ride again due to lack of any strength in his right arm. He is finally walking after reconstructive surgery on his leg and ankle.

Luckily he was on home ground for the oops and had good health care facilities rather than one of the 20 odd other countries he has ridden where health care is near non-existent.

$15 later and the zipper is done. A bit more peace of mind and security.
Had a nice ride last night until I rode through a few clouds of insects. Yuck!! :tdown:

Tis the season.
