What Not To Wear (while riding)

Do people really think that long sleeve t-shirts or even sweatshirts will protect at all? Might as well in in a short sleeve shirt if that's all you're going to wear.

Maybe they don't want to get sunburned... :shakehead:
 
What about those Kevlar hooded sweatshirts? Maybe they have some kind of protection.
 
Just met the US rep for these - coming to the US soon...

Hornee Jeans

Hope to be getting a pair soon to check out. If I do, I'll post a review...

We've had some VERY hot weather the last week. 100ºF+ in the east county. My house was 108º Saturday when I got home from leading a group ride In Full Leathers! :eek: But the heat really flushed out the calamari on the roads we were on. Oddly enough, it doesn't seem like most of them were on Palomar or Highway 94. Not a whole lot to post form this weekend compared to what we saw on other roads. But as usual, there's a handful of those who think they're invincible. :rolleyes:

This one is just confusing.

I've seen this guy out a few times in sweat pants. I'm surprised to see him in jeans.

I won't. If you do that I'll never ride anywhere but behind you :))
 
Wasn't sure if this picture belongs in the "Does The Gear Match The Bike" thread... or this one... but I figured you'd all prefer it here... :p

I added an accessory to my riding gear, and it matches PERFECTLY!! :cheer:

Damn girl, you got the Yamaha love jacket that I want too!!!!!

*Note to self, don't ride down to the windy city... nothin worse than showing up at a party and finding out someone is wearing the same dress*

j/k :):D
 
Not really a whole lot to post about this week. And I must say, I rode a lot this weekend and saw a lot more guys geared up than not. That's good to see.

However, there's always a few ;)

Always sucks to see this guy coming down the hill...

DM_15622.jpg


Especially with this guy coming behind him...

DM_15623.jpg


I wonder if the cops ever come on here to see how they look riding? :D

DM_15797.jpg


These guys are all geared up, just plain dumb. This is the kind of crap that gets the popo's attention.

OK Dude, you've got good leathers on (boots REALLY need upgrading) a nice bike, good helmet... and you're wearing a Helmethawk!!!! :eyebrow: You're killing me! :rof:

Ummmmm..... WOW!!!!

OK I don't have anything against guys draggin' a little knee from time to time. But at least keep some distance between yourselves. Both these guys should know better. They're smart enough to wear the right gear. :shakehead:

I know, it's a cruiser. But really? Is this ever safe on any motorcycle? Are cruisers magically impervious to accidents and road rash?

Ugh!!! They're like an infectious disease! :rof:

Riding formation obviously. I've seen much worse up there too. I know of a couple of people who have been injured when one guy low siding took out his friend behind him who thought it'd be cool to get a picture looking like they're racing for position by riding 3 feet off his rear tire.
 
ah, i c... good points. need to keep properly-spaced, staggered riding formation to be safe. :)
 
So I shouldn't put this on my helmet?

or this?

Staggered formation is for straightaways only... it allows the most people in the smallest space safely (you still have room to move left or right, forward or back by one "rider space") and keeps cages from splitting up a group.

SINGLE, well spaced formation is for twisties and any road narrower than normal.... usually signaled by the leader, but if you've ridden in groups, it becomes very clear when to stagger or single file it
