Sagebrush posted:2. ATGATT is as much about creating a no-thought-required habit and being comfortable in the gear as it is safety. If you make a point that every single time you are on your bike you are wearing all your gear, then you don't feel like you're missing any "freedom" by wearing it, because that's just the way it always is when you're on the bike. Make it a ritual that you go through before you even sit down.

XYLOPAGUS posted:I then mentioned our mutual co-worker who has put hundreds of thousands of miles on giant cruisers who uses the front brake like a normal rider and the response was "well, it wasn't a harley like mine." Well to be fair someone with such a mentality may be the sort to remove said front brake.

Covert Ops Wizard posted:Not to be a dick but the sv650 doesn't exactly scream "speed and sophistication" to the layman and everybody who knows bikes knows they're a dime a dozen. The rocket at least is huge if nothing else. This is all true but I get compliments on mine all the time. It's a relatively stock yellow 2004 naked. I ride with a buddy a lot who's on a newer triumph tiger 800 and I cringe when people comment on my bike over his. But I'm trading it in on a vstrom soon so I guess I won't have to worry about it for long.

1982 gs650e. It was faster than their pigs but I wasn't a good enough rider to prove it for anything but small sprints. And not to be stereotypical but I've come a long way and they're still parking it in corners on poker runs.

I'm not sure what would happen, but he is probably drawing from the fact that on a lot of bikes that have been in accidents a scratch or scrape on the frame can cause an insurance company to total it. The theory being that frame damage of any kind can cause a bike to fail later, and frame repairs are generally more expensive than its worth in their algorithm.
