    Riding gear.. what do you wear?

    Well after 20 odd some years of riding I finally decided to get some gear. But now that I think about it I'm gonna look silly riding around on a utility trike with racks on it. What do you guys think?



    So do any one of you guys ride utes lookin all fancy like I plan on.

    Most of the times helmet gloves and boots. I've got a nice Honda jersey and race pants and a set of Fly, but rarely wear em, cause my riding buddies don't have any.

    You need a back of the leg helmet. Or maybe padded footpegs.

    I usually wear a helmet, goggles, gloves, jersey with just a pair of jeans and foot protection by Nike. I have a pair of riding boots but I just don't like the feel of them. Going on ebay soon.

    red AFX helmet, Thor quadrant boots, answer alpha air gloves, jean shorts for now. I had to have extensions made for my boot straps cuz my calfs are so big the factory buckles would latch shut.

    before I got my boots I thought they wouldnt make a difference in riding and leg fatigue(sp), I was wrong they helped me out more than I can express.

    I ride with flip flops and a thong. Just kidding. I usually just ride with T-Shirt, shorts on and Tennis shoes. Unless its winter. Never had any problems. I guess im abnormal. I like being comfortable. Oh, and a helmet.

    Boots, helmet and gloves at a minimum here. Usually wear knee/shin guards and elbo guards too. Never got into the pants and jerseys yet but I do miss my chest protector for when I get a little extra nuts.

    clay........

    Can we gets some pics of that?!

    I kind of went for the dull look with the grey and black. I was contemplating something a bit flashier but i got an outstanding deal on the shirt and pants. I was also thinkin about gettin a chest protector as well. I guess they are all pretty much the same eh?
