Well, I chose #2.  In reality, I wear full gear 98% of the time and on very rare occasions wear jeans instead of armored leather or tex.

I like my tattoos, plus it hurt enough when they were put on. Must be extremely painfull to have them riped off.

Damn, never thought of it that way before..... excellent example.

No matter, always wear full gear and glad to see that its leading the voting but would expect it to with a sport-touring group.

Being from North GA I ride year round with decent comfort (Widder vest + layers). In the dog days of summer I used to ride sans pants. However after a very low speed get off 3 weeks ago due to pine straw and gravel I now ride with the pants regardless. For nothing else, the zipper attachment keeps my jacket in place instead of riding up like it did.
