3 points but my boots are 30 years old.
I rode today with shorts, t-shirt, sunglasses (a must), sneakers and gym gloves. I was going to the gym. I'm just hoping I make it alive, until I die. I can always borrow my kids stuff when I need it.

44 points for me, but I will be getting another shoei helmet shortly. God I hope I figure out how helmets should properly fit (mines is too small).

Shoei fit some people, arai fit others, AGV, HJC, Caberg, Schuberth... may all have different fits. Shark fits me, Arai doesn't. A good fit in a 'worse' brand beats a badly fitting shoei/arai any day |

I know HJC's definitely don't fit me puts a crap ton of pressure on my forehead so it must be a really round shaped helmet. Scorpions fit pretty good might try those out as well. I'll be going to shop next weekend, going to try the bell star, a larger shoei, and possibly AGV or Scorpion. It'll be my little birthday present to myself haha

25, but I haven't shopped for extra summer gear yet. But my fiancé doesn't have any work travel scheduled any time soon, so I don't know when I'm going to be able to sneak any new gear home.

27 ... but I kinda cheated by giving myself extra points for owning a Cortech motorcycle backpack and a hydration bladder . With our humid summers here, I consider staying hydrated apart of the safety regiment.

23 points. Prepared, but feeling inadequate after seeing a few of your numbers. I really need a good pair of boots this season.

Updated Op to include member rankings and emphasize ridiculous competition where none should exist. Seriously, Revzilla, I want a cut of profits. Current leader ManyCavies, or as I like to call her, ManyJackets. (Unless Nemesis wants to count or Ken wants to include his glove tally. )

65. Also, you mentioned Aerostich but I think First Gear should be in there as well, especially for riding suits.
Also again, no special category for MC specific undergarments like wicking skull caps, cold weather socks, cold/warm undergarments like Under Armour (not recommended) or LD Comfort (highly recommended - designed and sold by a Long Distance Rider). No mention of heated gear like Warm and Safe, Gerbing, etc... and specific components like heated vest, heated jacket liner, heated pant liner, heated gloves and heated boot inserts/socks. All of these are also part of my riding gear. I am probably a big whore.

All of that type of gear isn't safety gear though. Floyd is a bit of a safety nazi

Quote:
All that other stuff is safety gear: A two-twice Kathmandu Riding Suit with CE armour from First Gear is definitely in the safety list. Cold weather gear is most definitely safety gear if you are out riding in the cold. By the same token, a hydration pack is safety gear if you are out riding in the extreme heat. Undergarments under your clothes provide you with another layer of protection between skin and tarmac. if they are helping to keep you warm that is being safe. If they are wicking sweat to help with evaporative cooling, well, more safety. So, yes, IMHO they are all part of the gear that should be used to keep one safe for the environment they are riding in. YMMV
