Jackets aren't cool

[OTB]

I'm a gray, fat and fairly ugly kinda guy; if I was dressing for comfort or image I'd be doin' the robe and bag routine; robe for comfort, bag over my head to maintain my "image".

I have a JR mesh suit with armor for the really hot. disgusting days with my wet sweatshirt underneath.

For the rest of the time I have a zip together two piece.

None of my gear is new 'cept helmet. Most of it is 10+ yrs old. I just take care of it.

Nobody says ya gotta go drop three grand today on gear: I bought my suit (A*)second hand on CL for $175....

I just don't ride without jacket, gloves, helmet, boots 'round town, full suit any other time.

But it's a PERSONAL CHOICE.

I know what works, I know my odds of roadrash are better on a bike than in a humvee. If I CHOOSE not to wear gear; well; foo on me. I guess the boys at the shop are gonna laugh at my debradement stories and call me dipsh*t 'cause I know better.

'Cause we ALL know better...
