I'll admit I squid sometimes and wear just jeans with all the other gear. Nobody likes wearing pants, but wearing two pairs? That gets tiresome. I gotta get some knee armor that straps on instead of slip on. I'll also admit if I go to the gym (<5 minute ride)...I've definitely worn just a t-shirt before. Squidlife

I'll also add now that after riding around the San Fernando Valley for a decent amount of time, assuming your bike doesn't fail mechanically it's very easy to ride safely (grid-like roads, no blind corners, wide roads with lane options, slowing down at intersections, oncoming traffic visibility, etc) I can see why so many riders around here wear little gear. Just gets dicey when traffic builds up and motorcycles become harder to see.
