So first and foremost let me say i always wear my bike stuff when going to work an that. So today i get home from work get all my gear off and then think shit i need to go the shop. So i thought fuck will just go in me trackies get to to the shop only to get a big speech of some power ranger about gear and shit while he is tut tutting away i just thought to myself i do more miles in a week than your toy does all year fuck off. Where do these people get the idea they can act all superior cuz they got alpine fucking stars on rant over.

I personally wouldn't ride in trackies, would probably put some jeans on...

BUT

I wouldn't have a go at someone for doing it. Let's be honest, nobody, even the most retarded ped boi, rides a bike with trackies/tshirt/no gloves etc thinking "everything will be just fine if I come off wearing this, it won't hurt at all"

I've done shorts, tshirt, flip flops and a pair of sunglasses. I'd love to hear his reaction to that!

I don't care really, what people wear is their business. I don't even think it should be a legal obligation to have a helmet.

I think we as bikers should take some responsibility for our own safety, every pull out or SMIDSY is apparently the cars fault.

We make a choice to ride a bike which is dangerous we should also make the choice to protect ourselves as much as possible.

Yes I do have a high vis vest, and no I have never ridden in "trackies" what ever they are.

You were a tit, sounds like the other guy was a bit too. But you need to get over yourself!

I have rode in shorts, army boots, t shirt and no helmet or gloves. Then again I hit a wall and ripped my arm open to the bone in leathers 10 yards from my front door.

A few years ago the local plod sat in a lay-by on a main road and pulled every biker to have a 'chat' about the importance of riding kit - regardless of if they were wearing it at the time.

Personally I always wear my kit.

Lid
Jacket
Trousers
Gloves
Boots

Even if I'm popping to the shop. Partly because if I don't I think it looks stupid and like I either don't belong on the bike or it looks like I've just nicked it. Partly because I'm shit scared of coming off and full gear makes me feel invincible. And mostly because it's warm and dry and our unpredictable, bullshit excuse for a weather forecast is never right so I'm well and truly prepared.

Lid and gloves with an airflow is minimum for me.
