Everyone responded only about boots, but there are other riding gear, some obscure items such as arm warmers. Mr. WeCVO got pulled over on post yesterday in Alabama, for not wearing long sleeves.

Thanks for thinking of me, Mrs.WeCVO.  But with my scrawny body, it's gonna take more than sleeves to keep me warm.  Har! [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Might only apply to Gov't. Employees, such as the active duty GI punishment for sunburn which might hamper duty activities.  Have to ask at the gate? [smiley=shifty.gif]

Every post is different, and different can be as current as the current First Seargeant's interpretation of saftey gear.  I guess right now in Montgomery, AL, it is long sleeves. We have been to posts that want refelctive vests, reflective orange vests, reflective strip (useless when riding), a motorcycle saftey course certificate, on and on.  After 911 and the hit on the Pentagon, we lived in quarters on Fort Myer, which is between Arlington National Cemetary and the Pentagon, and there was a rule to throughly search all bags on bikes..... a motorcycle for one weekend qualified as a bike.   On Monday, my husband was able to educate the appropriate people to understand that to get base stickers for our motor cycles that we were riding from and to our residence, we had to prove all safety qualifications for us and the cycles. We did not get searched so much after that.

So in Montgomery, AL as we e-speak, they are having a tornado fly throug, golf ball size hail and three motorcycles are all vying for the protective cover of an entrance into barracks.  Ought to be interesting how they pull it off. I will ask MrWeCVO, once his bike is safe to take pictues, before I get the dreaded "ttiwwp"smiley-------

Wow Mrs.We, hope he doesn't lose out on the barracks entranceway.  I'm sure he'll improvise w/ tying a bed mattress or something from the barracks over the MC before taking golfball sized hail.  I think those storms are heading east.....we'll supposed to have 65mph winds here tonight.  You all too, probably.  Batten the hatches!

We've been sort of "neighbors-once-removed."  When I lived and worked back there my place was within spitting distance of one of the Ft. Myer's gates.  Could sit on the front porch and watch some of the 3rd Infantry guys gear up for whatever ceremony might be next upcoming.

Almost the most important gear I ride with is my RayBan's.
I'm on my third pair since 1988.
Can't leave home without them. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

hd2003-se2005, Thanks for that reminder. Both Mr WeCVO and I have the auto transitioning Panoptx goggles - http://www.panoptxstore.com/ and would highly reccomend them. I like that they are as clear or as dark as they need to be automatically. Like when you dive into a tunnel in the mountains, they lighten up quickly so you don't have to remove them, and you only need one set for the entire day and all weather conditions.

Mrs.We, Do you and Mr.WeCVO have the prescription lens in your PANOPIX glasses? Which models did you all go with?  I've considered them, but currently use two pair of RX RayBans.  Have to switch between shades and clear, but they're the best I've been able to find so far.  Thank God for saddlebags to carry all this necessary gear.  Another reason that you have to switch from Choppers to Baggers as you get older!  Har!

Thank you Mrs.We
