I started out riding in full leathers for safety's sake, but I don't think it is quite the image for the CB1100. So what do YOU wear?

At 66 I wear draggin jeans, similar jacket, some sort of gloves, helmet to match the season and ear plugs. I also wear this on FJR, F6B, CB750 café racer and S40. Never owned leathers. Rode a Goldwing from Texas to Alaska with similar uniform.

Older = 55+ I guess.

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?
