*sniffle, pout* if we had some twisties, I'd probably share that mindset.

All gear most of the time... Used to be AGATT, but I won't wear boots sometimes when riding to work...

It's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.

If im going to be agressive, full gear, leathers and all...if commuting, not so much, typically pants and shoes are non riding gear...

I really dont care for street riding anymore, its just not worth my life if I get froggy and take out a guardrail or tree...commuting and bike nights I will do, just to get my bike fix and the Sunday stroll out to play, but not nearly as hard as i used to ride on the streets...and the only non riding gear i wear when playing is jeans...

Always a lid (unless just moving around the garage)
99% of the time jacket and gloves.
