I was in Paris last week and noticed how many bikes there are ridden over there.

Interesting point, hardly anyone wears riding gear, with the exception of helmets

I'm sure it feels great riding without the gear, I've done it myself. If you come off though you know what a bad idea it is.

Heard of riders being killed from gravel rash...had they been wearing leathers they would otherwise have been fine.

Mr is a biker. If he ever rode without his gear, I'd kill him. And he knows it! Too much shit happens to careful bikers. It's not worth the risk.

All grown up now so do what you enjoy!!!

I came back from a short ride the other day wearing shorts and tee shirt and a neighbour walked over to me with a fag hanging out of his gob a and said you'll regret that if you come off !

Bikes might kill you, smoking Will...

It’s kind of an obvious statement, crashing is painful expensive and massively inconvenient. We all bloody well know that.

Personally, I think that if you're only going at town speeds (30 or less) then casual clothing is ok. I regularly ride my pushbike at speeds over 30mph (down hill) wearing very thin lycra and nobody thinks that there's an issue with that.

In practice, I do always gear up when I ride the motorbike too, but you see my point?

The point I was making was that those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

Mr here. My local BMW garage told me the story of one of their clients. AGATT always except for the last time, when he'd tweaked the bike and did a quick check, riding down his home road. Fell off, hit his head, dead.

You know it's windy along the coast when it takes you 47 minutes to get somewhere and then 26 minutes to get back

A helmet is different. Apart from being illegal, it's bloody daft to ride without a helmet. But that's a different thing to what wearing leathers "all of the time"

i do a lot of town riding and will often just got out in jacket helmet and gloves. Also I have some casual motorbike boots that look a bit like converse but have padding they are alpinestars but you wouldn’t know it to look at them. If I know I’m going out of town or for a blast I have a number of motorbike trousers.

Everything from motorbike jeans to full on leathers.

I never wore full protective gear when I had bikes.

Just an armoured jacket, summer gloves and my lid. I'd probably be the rider everyone else says gives riders a bad name.

Filter too quick, ride way too fast, over take everything, wheelies etc.

But I always had fun, except for that one time in North Wales

Good username for that syle of riding. Saw too many people like you in the operating theatre and on the orthopaedic wards to want to ride with that attitude.

Watching Swarfega being used to clean the gear oil out of a broken femur was probably the defining moment.

Not to someone who isn't bright enough to get it.

Back on the road this Friday, just bought a Triumph Sprint 955i, latter half of the summer but looking to get a few miles in and hopefully a rally or two.

And as I have read the thread, always wear protective gear but must admit when commuting to work occasionally worn trainers.
