Never posted on a forum, bike or otherwise!

What I want to know is what riding gear you guys are using? For the road I bought kevlar jeans (draggin) and forcefield armour, the sort that you wear separately and i wear my track back protector. The jacket is a textile summer alpinestar, although it's not great as it would ride up if you were sliding down the road. Using full leathers on the road is too inconvenient unless your going out for a blast, i'm talking about going down the shops or to work.

I still wear leathers in the dry or my waterproof gear (Frank Thomas jacket and Ricca trousers) in the wet when im going to and from work. Nipping up the shops i usually just pull my jacket on with my jeans and cat boots.

Welcome to the forum!
Anything from shorts and a t-shirt through motocross armour with a t-shirt and tracksuit trousers to one piece leathers with tarty boots and gloves.

But, generally:
Riding short distances; jeans or hood kevlar jeans, textile jacket, army boots, HG winter gloves and Caberg flip helmet.

Riding longer distances: textile or hood kevlar jeans, textile jacket, army or bike boots, whatever gloves are lying about and the Caberg helmet.

Riding for 'fun': will generally be in one or two piece leathers with bike boots and probably race gloves.

Track: One piece leathers and appropriate gubbins.

Riding to/from green lanes: Motocross/enduo gear.
