I'm ordering a Mesh jacket soon, and my Scorpion full face helmet, CanAm riding boots and Diamond Gusset Defender jeans.

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.
What Do You Wear?

The very least I wear in summer is Kevlar lined armoured denim jeans, Kevlar lined armoured denim jacket.
I use TCX X-Street boots which despite looking very casual are waterproof and give a reasonable level of protection.
In colder weather I stick with one of my textile armoured jackets and either matching pants or the jeans mentioned above.
Oh.......and motorcycle boots!

I'm considering some TCX X-street sneakers. How do you like them?

I like the looks of those. But, is that pair considered a sneaker? I guess I need to go to their website.

I called it a sneaker because that's what they look like. They're leather and the women's come only in black, but with purple piping. I'll probably get the non-waterproof ones since I have boot gaiters. The men's have more colors available, and have a denim option in the non-waterproof version.

Why do you say armor is overrated? What are the reasons for your claim? I want to know the details that support your conclusion. That way I can make my own conclusion which could agree with yours.
i don't fall in the fear factor thing
and that is what armor is about,, especially if you are in the 170mph range as I have been on 2 wheels.. when I younger... I have a good feel about myself.. with over 50 + years of riding... if one wants to wear armor , expecting to fall then wear it.. I have never expected to fall although I knew and have fallen.. and slid.. sideways.. I saw no reason then and on 3 wheels , I most certainly don't see the added expense..

I want to make sure I understand what you are saying. So, please correct me if I get this wrong. What I think I hear you saying is that you personally believe that you are a excellent motorcycle rider. As such, you know from your own experience that you are able to foresee threats, and take evasive actions...so, based on that you just plain do not need the extra protection. Did I get this correct? If not, please correct my misunderstandings.
Yes Dan You are Coorect
I have always been aware and Have seen more than some.. I also apply this to my auto driving.. I trust no one except myself and I have done everything in my power to avoid pain over the years.. however i did lose a leg to someone else foopa 33 years ago

I am sorry about losing your leg. After dislocating my shoulder and cracking a few ribs when I wrecked my bike, I truly have empathy. My experience resulted in a different outcome for me. I am ATGATT. I credit ATGATT for me being above ground (not dead) today. So, I will continue doing that. However, after I saw a biker in the ER at the hospital Where I used to work, who had his toes severed by steel toe boots in a wreck, I don't wear steel toe boots anymore--just boots.

I timed it perfectly and ran over it when it was flat on the highway... yea i know how to ride.. and i am not afraid of anything
