I didn't say I was flying down the highways in that kit; I went in a circle around my neighborhood a few times and parked it. They're only giving you poo poo because you really, really shouldn't tuck jeans into your motorcycle boots. It just looks silly.  Rock whatever gear you want, it's your ride  Everyone's got their squid moments, and I spent my first year of riding without any pants or real boots.

FuzzyWuzzyBear posted:Boy, you guys would hate it here in Connecticut if you saw the average gear a biker wore. You'd be downright LUCKY if they were wearing some kind of pants and a jacket. More often than not, it's flip flops, t-shirt, ridiculous non-motorcycle cold weather parka (if it's below 60 but nobody rides under 40), or optional fringe leather vest. It's like that for me too here in country Australia, this time of year it's nothing but helmet, shirt, shorts and shoes and 1 in 3 might have gloves on. It's pretty ordinary. I get funny looks dressed in full leathers (the chicks love it though  ), yes it's hot when I'm waiting at the lights or something, but hosed if I'm risking gravel rash and broken knees/hands/elbows.On the heat thing though I got an A*'s Dyno leather jacket, and it's loving awesome for it, a small breeze is enough to keep me comfortable, so glad I spent the extra dollars on gear rather than get some cheap textiles.

I just was trying to go fast man...just gotta go fast. It's amazing I survived my first 3 years of riding. Here's the bike I did the honors on...  My 2nd bike...my first one was a bone stock red 01 Ninja 250. When I was done with it it was much crashed and flat black. Poor 93 black and teal ZX6E...I'd love to find one again just for giggles, the color scheme is rare as hell now though. Getting on an E still feels like coming home, amusingly enough...50k on the bike and I think my body is permanently bent into that riding position.

When you only have 1800$ to buy your motorcycle and it has to get you to and from school and pass the parental loan approval process, it's hard to buy a literbike. I traded it + 200$ for that ZX6E. That's the only reason I was able to upgrade.

I see. I actually rode around on my dad's Moto Guzzi monza as my first street bike, but learned on some old yamaha. I wasn't into riding fast yet, and that bike was really slow, and I always wore gear anyways. Granted my helmet was two sizes bigger than it should've been, and I was wearing thick leather roping gloves and redwing work boots with jeans and an oversize leather jacket, but it was on the right track. It's not until now that I ride like an rear end in a top hat.

-Inu- posted:I dunno, I don't think they look bad tucked into the boots. ohwandernearer posted:Call me crazy but I wear "boot cut" jeans with my boots and "straight cut" jeans with my sneakers. The size of the SMX+'s top plate doesn't really translate well over the internet. A pair of jeans that would fit over them would engulf any other footwear. Even my brothers largest pair of normal jeans was a tight squeeze, and at that point, they fit as well as a blanket taped to my waist. Too bad we aren't in the 90's anymore, JNCO would've made a killing on non-protective motorcycling jeans, worn solely to cover your boots.

When Draggin first hit the scene you couldn't leave the house without seeing camo jeans on a bike, usually red or pink.

   Met an old dude at the bike shop riding this thing around, an old Triumph murdered out. His helmet was painted with purple glitter. Ten times cooler than any chromed out overpriced newly made Chopper.

Well, not with the SMX+ anyway. When you walk around they don't tend to fall into the tops like that. But yeah, they can look a little silly. This is why my daytonas are awesome though...I don't have any sneakers at the moment but they're comfortable enough to just walk around in, and they're low profile enough that they're really not noticible.

Ha, I'll get more pictures today And it wasn't 27 hours, it was only a few. I didn't pick the bike up until Wednesday, my bank had a stupid 2-day hold on funds transfers.If it hadn't been ~10F in the garage at the time, the girlfriend would have been happy to . . . pose with it. I'll see about making that happen once it's a little warmer. As for me, I'm going out to sit on the bike and make "Vroom-vroom!" noises.
