Even if you wear something like draggin' jeans, its better than regular ol' pants. If you wear regular ass jeans, wear some armored underpants and knee protectors beneath them.

There's lots of options for gear that don't look like you are going straight to the track. I've got a pair of khaki colored AlpineStars, built to be "baggy" looking, has knee protection, removable down liner to keep potatoes baked during chilly weather.

Looks like I'll be getting the pants next.  I already have a leather jacket, leather gloves, and a full face helmet... not to mention the giant orange reflective vest that the military makes me wear.  I was planning on the pants next anyways, this just solidifies it.  Thanks for all of the input.

There's no fun like that of removing gravel from underneath belt line, in the skin with needle-nose pliers to remind you to always put on the gear. Even on the short trip - that same short trip where your tires don't get up to temp and you are less cautious...because, afterall, you are only going a short distance...

I cant figure the military out at all....... they spend multi-gazzilions of $$$ making fighterplanes "invisible" and then they overlook the basics by making you wear a fluro vest.  If Iwas the enemy I'd carry a flashlight. 

I guess if you wear the high-vis vest whilst inside a stealthfighter that'd be alright......

As a side benefit...
I find my butt is less sore at the end of a long ride when I wear leather pants instead of cordura...
you may not need the seat after you get the pants

Pants, then seat. 

You'll need the seat unless you never plan to have more kids...
The boys will thank you. [thumbsup]

The reflective vest is only while riding the motorcycle.  They want me to be visible to cagers who wouldn't see me even if I was riding naked.

Totally gruesome - I just scratched retro half helmet off my want list

996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken
