I'm usually pretty good at figuring out acronyms, but I'm stumped on this one: ATGATT. I've seen it referenced in numerous threads. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

Refers to the wearing of safety jacket, pants, boots, gloves and helmet.
:agree:
:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflb lack::roflblack:
don't forget "eye protection" too. Lol
How about this one- WWYW?
The help has already arrived. Helpful folks on the site. :firstplace::firstplace::bowdown::bowdown:
Don't feel bad. I had to Google WTF a Farkle was or meant. GDamit use your words already.
I had....whatever, whenever you want...:dontknow:
ATGATT means different things to different people.
To some it means body armor like they are prepping for war.
To others it means gloves and a full face helmet.
To me it means wearing my AMA, SNELL and DOT certified T-shirt, shorts and sneakers with a novelty half helmet.:yikes:
I am not sure if you have what we call sub-nets (or digi-nets) in Canada. These are usually digital sub-stations which tend to carry old classics, movies, shopping channels etc. The one carrying "Laugh-In" in my market is called "Decades". Chances are if you weren't a TV watcher in the late 60's you would not have heard of this show and are likely not to understand much of the humor as it was related to social mores and the political atmosphere at the time. I think it originally aired on NBC in the States.
:agree: with your premise. It is all about risks and tradeoffs. Some dress "safer" than others. Not "safer" is a choice, and I respect that too. I dress in my form of ATGATT and am happy with that. I don't criticize others for what they wear or the lack of it. We are all big boys and girls here.
The very best gear and lots of it is not going to protect completely in a full out T-bone, rear ender, or head on. If an ejection results and you fly into a tree or rocks--it is probably not going to end well anyway. It is a risk that most of us know, will try to avoid, and will continue to ride because we like to ride--in spite of the what if's.
Like they used to say on Hill Street Blues--"Be safe out there." :yes:
