• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

ATGATT?

My current gear:

Just one helmet (Hi-viz Shoei Qwest) and pair of boots (TCX X-Five) right now. A bunch of different gloves from Rev'it, Fly, Dainese, etc.

Hot weather: Olympia Switchback mesh jacket, Olympia Airglide pants, Chill-It towels and evap vest as needed.

Cool weather: Firstgear Jaunt textile jacket, Kevlar Draggin' Jeans or AGV Kevlar Cargo Pants.

Cold weather: need to pick up new gear, but I *was* using a Firstgear Kilimanjaro with a Gerbing heated jacket and Firstgear HT Overpants Shell over my Draggin' Jeans. None of that stuff fits me this season, so I'll be investing in new stuff (I might splurge for a Rev'it Defender jacket, tried one of those on at the Revzilla showroom and it made me giggle like a nineteen-year old girl in H&M :joke:)

For commuting, I have a new pair of HT Overpants that I wear over my slacks (I'll trade off my Switchback and Jaunt as needed).

Anyway, as you can see, I'm about as ATGATT as a Spyder rider gets. :doorag:
 
I gravitate more to the NOTGNOTT side of this equation.

Before all of you helmet worshippers go off the rail let me say that I always wear a helmet.

I know from experience that skin is pretty resilient. Brain matter on the other hand, not so much.

This is what I do too. Always a helmet and whatever the weather dictates that I wear to stay comfortable.
 
When I rode my Boulevard, I always wore all the gear. Always a helmet, usually mesh armored jacket, gloves, jeans, and boots. With the Spyder, I have become more lax. Hi-Viz AFX helmet, Hi-Viz Fly Racing vest, jeans, sometimes shorts, and tennis shoes. My fear on the bike was laying it down, with the Spyder, I guess I have this false sense of security. This is for my commute, which is less than 5 miles. Anything longer, and I wear everything.
