Here in Florida I wear a long sleeve cotton shirt, jeans, boots and gloves
I carry my leathers in the trunk just in case
As I have gotten older I developed into a ATGATT rider on my 2 wheelers. Since I'm transitioning over to the trike I find myself forgetting the ATGATT and riding with a helmet, jeans, t-shirt gloves and boots. Unless its colder then I'll wear a non armored jacket. I leave the armored jacket and pants at home figuring its much harder to end up on the pavement on the trike. I know things happen but my odds seem a lot better on 3 wheels not to eat the pavement. Is this a foolish way of thinking? What gear do you wear? Thanks for your thoughts.

Nuff Said," Were Burnin Daylight, Lets Ride"(Sober 37 years)
Current ride : 2021 FREEWHEELER M8, oldest ride 1960 FL
On two wheels I dressed for the crash 💥 ..And I road like a fighter pilot…
Nowadays on 3 Wheels I dress for the weather not so much the crash…

Now that I'm on 3, I dress for the ride, not the slide. Except I always wear my helmet even though they are optional here in Arizona..... Jim

I ride in jeans, boots, gloves and long sleeved shirt. Lot’s of sun this time of year, and I blister easy. I wear a modular helmet, with blue tooth, cause I like tunes.
Here in west central FL aka Gold Coast, I wear laced hiking boot goretex or Klim Armored boots, just purchased a Daytona MC boot goretex to replace the Klim boots. I have an armored mesh jacket which I wore 95% time prior to going to (3) wheels. Around town I usually wear SPF rated shirts due to the intense sun exposure here in FL. I have BD pants (military cargo pants), Joe Rocket & Cycle Gear Bilt mesh pants, Klim Latitude Jacket when traveling usually go with the with Klim Badlands pants (goretex). Assorted leather MC rated gloves; some have armor some are summer gloves. Always modular helmet or 3/4 one. A Veskimo cooling vest under armored jacket when touring in the summer.
We're a lot more relaxed riding on 3 wheels, jeans, longsleeve T, boots, gloves for me and 1/2 helmets. ATGATT when on 2 wheels including modular helmets and some kind of coat.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
I have never worn all the gear unless at the track.
Boot's, jeans, long sleeve shirt, gloves and helmet are all I have ever worn.
Since going to three I some times wear tennis shoes.

Jeans, boots, gloves, long sleeve UV shirt and always a helmet. When I was on 2 wheels I always wore a leather jacket (regular in the winter and perforated in the summer).

its much harder to end up on the pavement on the trike.
It is??? All the dangers you're exposed to on a two wheeler you're also exposed to on a trike, except it tipping over. If you bought a trike cuz you think it's safer, ya might want to rethink that as I've been on a Triglide for over 10 years.

Beware of liberals posing as Americans.
I’ve been riding Trikes since 2008…. And Triglides from 2011 to present… (About 14 years)…Motorcycles from the 60’s till about 2017…..
Safe is a relative term ….There’s other factors besides not tipping over….The general public has a different attitude towards Trikes vs Motorcycles…..They don’t treat trikes like a target..If you have to make a panic stop there’s hardly any drama…IE; Locking a rear tire and maybe high-siding or low-siding..
Can you get hurt on a Trike’ Sure you can also get hurt going down the stairs to the garage before you even get on the Trike…

Welllllllllll neither. I always wear a helmet and an armored mesh or textile jacket. I hardly ever wear my leathers anymore. I have good gloves and boots too.
