You can’t go to the store and buy skin…so you might as well buy a jacket!
Jacket/Jeans/Helmet/Gloves/Boots

Leather jacket, Jeans when riding around town (Textile on really hot days)
Full Leathers when strictly riding backroads and not making any stops
I will say i have gone tshirt and shorts once but i felt too vulnerable and will never do it again

Always full gear. I have gear for the cold and hot. No matter how hot I still wear full mesh gear.
That's on my F4i or my ST1300.
hwnf4i......Why would you ride your sport bike with full gear but when you ride the cruiser you don't wear a helmet. Cars do pull out in front of cruisers you know.

RE: Are You a Squid?
Well I'm a squid because I want to learn how to do wheelies and I should DIE and give my bike to someone else because I dont deserve it and I'm a squid. Well thats according to some of the people on this forum. Anyway I wear helmet, cortech textile jacket, and jeans/khaki shorts/dress pants (when I take the bike to work). My next investment will be gloves I will hopefully have enough money to get a nice pair when I take my bike in for the 600mile maintenance (at 525 right now and I dont even have the $250 for the maintenance =( o well). Just a question for you guys though. Whats wrong with wearing tennis shoes like a pair of kswiss? I dont race. /shrug

I wear my Jacket, Helmet, and Gloves everywhere I go. Unless I take long trips I dont wear my pants and i dont have any boots yet. I'd like to invest in a full set of leathers with matching gloves and boots. Probably all in Black and Grey.
I have slid down the road doin about 70 so I have kinda learned my lesson

Hey Jim I geuss that would make me a SQUID 
.. Do I know the dangers of riding without gear.. YES!! At any given moment something can happen... I am very open to the gear or no gear debate and support "both" . In no way do I think I am Mr. super rider but I do enjoy riding and the different types of riding prefferences along with the great people that ride whatever it is they ride. Here is one thing I will not do no matter what... pack someone without them having at least longsleeve shirt, helmet, gloves, jeans, boots. As an American it is a choice I make to ride without gear but it is also a choice I make that if you ride with me that you "have to have it".
