I’m not ATGATT but close. Rev-it makes some really good options for everything from superhero costumes to gear you could wear to court.

Helmet, gloves, textile jacket with light armor for arms and back. I’m new to riding and should probably be doing better. I’ve been taking it easy though. Will likely get riding boots and armored pants on rides where I’m more confident and low slides are more likely

I am ATGATT because I have 3 kids who need me. To each their own though

Ugly bros for pants, some solid work boots for feet, and a textile armored jacket for top is all u need. If I’m touring or hitting the twisties I have a two piece revit adv suit and sidi boots. Don’t skimp on feet protection for street, even shifting hurts with the wrong shoes.

Edit: gloves and helmet obviously

I wear a helmet, leather jacket, armoured Kevlar jeans, gloves and riding shoes. Might skip on the shoes on occassion but otherwise ATGATT

I wear full face helmet, full mesh suit, full gauntlet gloves, and sport boots for everyday commuting and leather suit for full day rides/track days —> AlpineStars (Gloves, mesh suit), Dainese (Leather suit), Arai (helmet), TCX (boots), Icon (under jacket armor). Good quality with each of these names and tons of other good brands.

I’m going to buy my first bike. Just finished the MSS and was licensed. Many of my friends have been riding for years and have much more experience than me. They all ride street glides except one who has a vtx1800. I’m considering a street bob as my first bike... any other suggestions? Is it a bad idea?

Damn! Had no idea this bowl existed till 1 minute ago! Most likely the best bowl on the app and I feel like the last several months of reading through pointless posts finally paid off! 😄
