What kind of gear do you wear?

Also what kind of gear were you wearing when you went down (giggidy giggidy goo) and what saved your ass?


Interested in the responses! Post pics or just plain post away!

I've owned many bikes over the years. Sportbikes? Check. Harley's? Check. Foreign V-Twins? Check.

My last bike was a 2004 Honda VTX 1300C. I put about $3000 in performance and appearance mods into that bike. Absolutely LOVED it more than any Harley I had ever ridden. Mostly because in the summer, I wouldn't get my friggin legs cooked! Shaft drive is relatively maintenance free and the sport shocks and forksprings I installed on it made it that much more of a nice ride. Since I have a small depression in my skull that needed protection, I wore a half-lid helmet and used a windscreen at all times. Now a days, that area has rebuilt itself, but back then, I had to be more careful.

Eventually, the doctors made me give up riding motorcycles and I lost my endorsement after I couldn't completely improve my balance to "normal". If you ride and ride a lot, then you know the deal with that what I'm about to say. Even though I *knew* I didn't need to be on two wheels any more, it was something I simply would not give up. I got to the point where I was only riding on my best days and I couldn't plan to ride with a group or with friends. I just had to call them up on those days when I could ride. But I was PISSED when the Doc threatened to take away my license completely if I didn't stop riding. So I grudgingly sold the bike and renewed my license without the MC endorsement.

That was in 2008. My VTX1300 had over 28k on her. It was a good run. But now when I look back, I wonder just what the hell was I thinking.

Here's a video I made when I had it up for sale. Damn I miss that bike. Custom ground cams, custom head work, electric water pump, awesome seats....I miss everything about that bike!

2008 Honda CBR1000RR. Red and silver. I have a matching leather jacket and a grey textile I wear when it's above 95. It has a power commander fuel management, yoshimura exhaust (just the r-77), and a K&N filter. It's pretty zippy. The silver bike next to it is my dad's s1000rr. It's a little bit quicker.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1308441326.883906.jpg

Instead of getting a blower this summer... decided on this instead...

2011 Harley Davidson Forty-Eight - Goes perfectly with my black Bullitt. It has the Screamin' Eagle performance upgrade package with the black exhaust, intake, and ecu reflash

Gear: HD full face helmet, HD Leather Jacket, HD reflective vest, jeans, Sidi boots, and generic leather gloves.

That is a beautiful bike GallopingFord!!! What size motor do they use on it? I have to admit to not being very motorcycle model savvy these days. What is the 48 all about? Looks like a Sporty frame. I'm too tall to even think about owning a Sporty and I've ridden some VERY nice ones that I would have loved to own!

Its a 74cu/1200 engine. It's one of the faster weight-to-power harley davidson bikes. It's basically all motor, and it rides great. It's from the sportster family, but does throw you off a bit with the huge tires. I originally looked at a Iron 883, but the 48 was just so much more beefy and looked better. I am a huge fan of nostalgic bikes and the 48 definitely was the one for me. It is a very comfortable bike to ride around, sounds amazing, and definitely goes. Weighs in at about 550ish.
