What are draggin jeans?
I was thinking about one of those synthetic fiber jackets with the dayglo and all those pockets. The salesman at Gearworld tried to dissuade me -- said, something about them being for dual sport riders. I see them on U.K. riders all the time on youtube.
But HikerToo, you fit the bike in the first photo. Maybe I'll just trade my leather pants for Kevlar jeans with built-in knee protection. What brand/model of boots are those?
WHEW!!!!! I'm 54, so I'm excluded. I'll let you know next year.

Carn, David, Guth's fessed up and he's younger than you, surely you can.
I'm 58 and wear a KBC full-face helmet, RST Ventilator II Jacket (which is great in our climate as it has a waterproof layer and a thermal layer that can be taken in and out as necessary), RJays Tour AM boots, jeans or kevlar jeans and DriRider lightweight gloves most of the year. For the cooler winter days I have a pair of DriRider Nordic thermal gloves.
When it's raining, which it does, albeit rarely these days, I wear waterproof jacket and overpants.

Ok, Bell Revolver modular helmet, with Blinc bluetooth system.
Jacket depends on temperature, I either wear a Johnny Rocket leather riding jacket, (below 60 degrees), or a BILT Mesh Jacket,(clearance at Cyclegear shop), both jackets are armored. I have a couple of pairs of riding gloves, don't remember the brand, one is heavy for cold weather, the others are lighter fabric for warmer climes.
I wear blue jeans all of the time, need to get some armor of some type, haven't decided which type. I usually wear my work boots, when riding, they are lace up boots, steel toe, with very good ankle support.
99 out of 100 rides, I am all about gear, and I would never suggest anyone ride without it, but I must admit, on occasion I am known to ride in shirt sleeves, helmet, blue jeans, and boots. It just feels good on a warm day, but these are only short rides, anything more than an hour or so is full battle dress.
Cheers.
