If you are an older rider, what do you wear riding your 1100?

For accessories, a string or bow tie, a silver belt, and a full goatee are always appropriate. Socks are optional, underdrawers are NOT. Avoid gold trimmings. They are, quite simply, tacky.

Are you the one with the KFC delivery box on the back? Smile

38 here and living in FL so gear is a constant struggle for me. Most days I wear Black Shoei 1100 full face with tinted screen, black revit airwave jacket, black revit monster gloves, dark jeans, black revit boots.

Instead of ATGATT he is NBAJS (nothing but a jock strap.) Cool.

Wow, I would think that black outfit would be hot in Florida. Have you considered a white helmet, silver air mesh ventilated/ armored jacket and pants, and silver gloves to reflect some of that sun away, and vented boots.... unless the heat doesn't bother you.

I have a variety of jackets and riding trousers, all black, and all of which have armor. I tend to wear a layer more than the average guy, as I get cold quick. I also have Bonn armor undergarments to wear with jeans. I rarely go anywhere without gear, save for a test- ride around the neighborhood or, in the summer, the one mile to the beach, with a beach chair strapped to my back.

Yeah, my next set of gear will definitely be light colored and probably hi-viz. Money is a bit tight to buy another full set of good gear though so it's going to be a hot summer.

dancinkozmo just wait, when you are in your 60s you won't look like thatConfused
I always wear a Shoei Qwest Full face helmet, (I don't like flip up or
open face anymore).I have a lot of jackets, mostly First Gear,
but also tourmaster and two mesh jackets First Gear and one Alpinestar. . I tend to where only jeans but when I am out for a
whole day I have two overpants with armor . And Alpinestar boots.
(another customer return)
Being in the biss. you see and hear about way to many bad crashs
not to wear gear all the time.
I always have at least 2-3 pairs of gloves with me, I have a nice pair
of Held gloves but tend to wear Olympia even though they don't protect you as well.
