I would rather sweat than bleed. Summer riding I wear a mesh jacket, jeans, gloves, ff helmet and boots. Winter I swap out the mesh jacket for a leather. I've been real glad I wear gear more than once. Forgot to put the kick stand down and fell over at a gas station slamming my helmet off the pump on the way down. It didn't hurt anything except for my ego but without the skid lid I would of gotten a real good egg or a nice cut. Been down enough times so I wear gear all the time.

I also am guilty of wearing jogging shoes or leather sneakers though.

I am an ATGATT rider. I just got a very nice three season jacket that goes down to mesh and all the armour for summer riding. It would be nice if summer got here now.

I also wear at least jeans and boots but for highway riding I have kevlar and armoured pants. Always gloves and glasses too, and usually full face helmet instead of my half helmet.

Is it something that could melt if it should come into contact with the exhaust? Curious as the material looks to be of a plastic type. kim
