the law says you 'must' wear a helmet, for me full face all the way. I always wear gloves and boots too whatever the weather. It's weather specific for me whether I wear the leather or textile jacket. I'm afraid I'm guilty of wearing regular jeans on odd occasions, my bad. All the gear all the time.

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
