for those that dont think they need gear if just cruising the strip or going to the store, or if you'll only be doing 20 or 30mph, try this: set on your buddies truck tailgate in your t shirt and jeans, have him maintain a constant 30mph and then, jump off.... this will give you a good idea as to how well your jeans and skin hold up to the pavement

"Full Gear" means race level boots,1piece/2piece leathers, gauntlet gloves, full face helmet, back protector, and maybe even a chest protector. "Acceptable Gear" means leather work boots, riding jeans, armored jacket (preferably leather), gloves (always leather- no mesh or mechanics or fingerless), and a helmet (3/4, modular or full face- no beanie BS). Basically, if you don't wear this level of protection, I won't ride with you. I don't need to deal with extra gore because of your laziness/stupidity.

I used to rollerblade back in my early teens... I actually would grab on to cars and sketch... well got pulled along and a buddy decided to gun it... I let go at what he said was 35 or so... felt like 120... ate shit and had some nice rash... still have a scar on my leg from it... and I had long shorts two shirts a hoody and gloves on... wore a few holes in my hoody and one all the way down to the 2nd shirt. lucky I didn't hit my mellon though... |

Wow, 9 pages on this and still going?
Personally (and anyone that disagrees is just being stubborn ![]() Had Curb (the inspiration for this thread) been riding at the track or canyon carving when he had his accident and said he was in "full gear", I would assume he meant a 1 or 2 piece leather suit, gloves, boots, helmet, and maybe a back protector. Since he was riding to or from dinner when he had the accident, I would assume he meant helmet, jacket, gloves, and riding boots/shoes. |

I know what you are saying...I just like picking with the "gear nazis" that purpose that I'm an "idiot" if I don't wear full leathers to run to the post office.
