Always try for long pants, boots, gloves, full face, long sleeve t-shirt and usually mesh or leather jacket.
Having said that, have you ever been in Memphis in August at a stop light? CHIT!!! In August, for short rides I'll sometimes go to a half helmet, drop the jacket, forget the gloves and wear a ss t-shirt. Am comfortable but feel stupid, [highlight]I knows what be smerter[/highlight].
In fact, leaving Wednesday for the state HOG rally in Bristol, TN, about 500 miles away. Temps are to be around 100 so I just decided to put Bessy and Girty in the trailer and I'll cruise along in the air conditioned cage. In fact, my trailer holds 4 bikes and I'll bet by the time I get there, a couple of friends will have whimped out and joined me.

I always ride with gloves, but did not wear them as a passenger unless cold!

Jeans and boots.  No exceptions.  just wouldn't be right.  However, I'll ride in a t-shirt with only lifting gloves, or (god forbid).........   I did pick my daughter up at school one day with no shirt on!  she was 14...  and horrified....   and she still ran to get on the bike! ::)  

I don't know why, but the bottom half HAS GOT to be covered right.  The rest of it is optional...  dunno why i feel that way....

I hope to be at the AHDRA Thunder in the Valley Nationals this Sunday.  Would love to ride up to the party tonight and if all goes well the rest of the day will do just that!  If not, Saturday is a possibility and Sunday is definite!  Look for the V GRL (sideplate)!

Always, always....jeans, riding boots, and deerskin gloves.  If I can stand it, at least a mesh jacket, but if it's hot enough, I'll go sleeveless.  Won't let the GF get on the bike without at least the same thing on.  Me, I could get over, but scraping her up would kill me.

Yep, when I see people riding in flip-flops or sandels of any kind, I shudder.  Just remembering the times I've been down and the abuse the boots took makes me know that you're gonna sustain a lot of damage to toes/ankles/ and esp. heels w/o good protection.  jmho. :o  spyder

I believe riders should be permitted to ride with whatever modesty will allow.  The government should have nothing to say about it, helmets included, period.

With that said I never ride without jeans or leathers, boots and at least a mesh jacket. I do cheat and use a half helmet in the heat of summer, a FF when it cools down.  But that is MY CHOICE.

Every rider has to make the choice for him(her)self. [smiley=soapbox.gif]
