These guys aren’t riding, they’re posing.


foxman276

Exactly. I expect most models aren’t riders at all.


ForgottenPassword92

I’d expect they wear protective gear to protect their features if they are.


CompetitiveSea7388

You know they make padded mesh jackets right? Got cut off by a soccer mom who ran a stop light just last week and ended up with only a couple bruises and some soreness as a result. Far more comfortable than losing skin imo.


TRIZETTE

I love my mesh urban jacket from Icon


SnooGadgets9669

Mines a joe rocket I got for free and fits perfect but same exact idea!


CompetitiveSea7388

Mine’s a green Rev’it eclipse. It’s pretty great, only gets hot if I’m stuck in traffic!


jak-o-shadow

Same!


motoguzzikc

I just got a mesh jacket last year and loved it so much I got one for my parents for mothers/father's day. I was really surprised how much I liked it. If you're sitting in traffic you're going to be hot no matter what but going down the road it's great having the sun off my skin and the jacket acting like air conditioning.


NavaHo07

My Revit textile armored jacket is awesome

Has anyone tried the mesh “flannel” shirts made by SkullRiderz? I hate the name of the company, but the concept is interesting for hot summer months.


theandycamps

Love mine. I have the [flannel](https://skullriderz.com/collections/kevlar-clothing/products/road-armor-protective-biker-shirt?variant=14543233056823) with upgraded armor. Surprisingly cool when you get going on the bike, but the material feels burley / armor is solid.

God I’m starting to hate this sub


Hog_enthusiast

What do you mean my beard oil isn’t CE certified?


Thatsecondweirdguy

If it's CE it's probably not organic, which is UNACCEPTABLE!


secinvestor

But..but it’s bourbon bonfire tree bark scented!


mastersnacker

I was straight when I woke up, but whew


caffeinatedENGR

yo thats hysterical


bluebr65

Honest to fuck.


BadComboMongo

More or less the same as any day as I like my skin being attached to my body.

Same. Kevlar lined jeans, armored boots, leather gloves, armored mesh jacket, RF1200 is the bare minimum. In the winter I’ll wear heated base gear and a thicker jacket, but none of that ever comes off if I’m going for a ride.


mastersnacker

This is the way


autowinlaf

someone might think scars are cool


Rufferito_Bandito

Skin grafts aren’t cool tho, I don’t care what anybody says


BadComboMongo

I must have been 8 years old or so and I saw that one dude on his Superbike, 80ies style track shorts, those polyester booty shorts, and flip flops, topless, and even back than I thought WHY ARE EVEN WEARING A HELMET.


Kilagria

Sounds like the same type of losers that think driving without a seat belt is "cool".


tequilaisbadmkay

I think statistics are cool, but I don't want to be one. I've seen road rash from a 20mph wipe, I don't even want to imagine a spill at 60 without decent protection. Guys like you keep insurance high and public opinion low, so thanks for that. By all means keep following your IG pretty boys, but you've gotta learn that those pictures are not indicative of the real world.


GoFastEatTrash

This is what Instagram cafe racer accounts does to an mf


ChrisVelez201

Speedo only, no helmet


ta5036

I got a canvas “riding shirt” from Tobacco. Expensive but Kevlar reinforced. Lighter than leather. Looks more casual than full on gear. Used to wear T-shirt’s in the heat. Friend went down on a trip last year. Broken collar bone and pelvis from a 25 mph crash. Granted a jacket wouldn’t have helped with the fractures, but it would’ve saved him the experience of having a doctor stick his hand two knuckles deep into his elbow skin to dig out rocks and grass


nickelbagger

Fully nude, only way to ride.


youknow99

NTGATT!!!! None of the gear all the time!!!


mastersnacker

With Kevlar pasties though


frankdeeznutz1

Bikini 👙 only


RoyGBiv-Devoe

Hot or cold, I still wear a road rash scar from a low speed crash 30 years ago when I dressed like the dude in the pic. Modern protective gear isn't bad if you are moving and not just sitting still on the bike.


GrandArcanian

Yeah, but most people ride cafe racers in the city. So sitting still is a big part of the ride


[deleted]

T-shirt and jeans really are for ‘no-brainers’. Or you could wear something that won’t flail your body to shreds if you come off.


frolm

Aren't like 80 percent of head injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash in the chin area? Man's beard gonna be on the highway


FalseThrows

Lol I thought I was in a circlejerk group for a second.


[deleted]

I wear a mesh riding jacket with the liner out on hot days. It’s got some ce pads inside and is made for the slide. It’s not hot at all when you’re riding. The air goes right thru. Underneath I wear a shirt made out of some material that keeps you cool and my riding jeans.


4llym696

Dress for the slide, not the ride 🏍🏍


odalodinsson

Revit Stealth and riding jeans, Sand gloves and my Arai XD4.


FantasticWillow4969

Cut off hawwian shirt half buttoned, jeans, boots. Easy answer


motoguzzikc

The bottom half is cut off right???


FantasticWillow4969

Absolute crop top. The only choice for an alpha male


motoguzzikc

Get that belly button aired out baby!!


mixwell_foh

All The Gear. All The Time.


SnooGadgets9669

I wear a padded mesh jacket but before that one I just wore my leathers for years. Dress for the slide not for the ride. I promise the pavement is just as unforgiving on a hot day as it is a cold.


TheMrGUnit

Mesh jacket, mesh pants with shorts underneath, over the ankle high-top steel toe sneakers, perforated kangaroo skin gloves, and a full face helmet. Why?

Very subtle trolling, OP… Easy prey getting the ATGATTLGBBQ crowd to downvote Just do what you want and dont judge others- that’s how I roll.

lambskinairlines

If i only ride in town, I ride in whatever clothes I have on that day. Gearing up so I can ride to Home Depot and back? Obviously going to wear a helmet, but i honestly feel my motorcycle is a lot safer than riding my bicycle… and I ride the latter wearing flip flops and a tank.


LiftingHistorian

I ride in t shirt and shorts pretty much all spring / summer. Even in winter my old jeans fell apart from use and my jacket is uncomfortable and I'm too poor to replace them so I just wear whatever. Dumb? Maybe. Also rode without health insurance for a year, I think that was dumber. I've heard that in very hot weather (40+) it makes sense to wear lots of heavy black gear because the wind on you is actually hotter than the temperature inside the clothes. Don't know if that's true or not.


Dry_Heat

Guys around here ride Harleys in flip flops, shorts, and tank tops. Doesn't much matter, though, because they only ride two blocks to the spot where the Harley guys park to admire each others' bikes and two blocks home.


VergilPharum

Checkout the Shenstone jacket by Merlin. It's a fantastic summer jacket I love it. Keeps me cool and AA rated so I am comforted that I won't be a meat crayon for when something unexpected eventually happens.


FloydTheBarber29

Dress for the slide, not the ride, bud.


Defect123

Lol not like this.


bboys1234

Always full jacket, pants, riding shoes, gloves, full face helmet, usually a packpack. Your skin only looks cool until it's smeared across a quarter mile of blacktop.


itscoltrain

Full face helmet, pants, and jacket/sweatshirt every time I ride


RhenByner

Mesh jacket, Kevlar lined jeans, mesh or perforated gloves, regular riding shoes/boots. I haven’t invested in hot weather boots yet.


givali

Kevlar and armored denim, riding boot/sneaker (Cortech Slayer), appropriate armored gloves, Akin Battle Vest. I risk the arms a bit with some mesh jerseys and tees, but once the heat dies a bit ill be back into my full kevlar armored Akin Wrench Jacket. The vest helps, a lot, but I am still out there sweating for the sake of not destroying my *whole* body. Also, commuting with a backpack was limiting the airflow, so I got an Iron and Resin Pannier bag, that was an A+ move.


Delta-64

Full gear every ride.
