do you keep your jacket on

izmail1215 · May 9th, 2010, 12:30 PM

do you keep your jacket on -like going to wal mart or some where inside or use a back pack? where do you keep your gear wile in stores or indoors?

rceezy · May 9th, 2010, 12:39 PM

I never leave my gear on my bike unless I will be outside with it. IE: I'm in the parking lot for a bike night or outside of the house where I'll be getting back on in a few. I wish I didn't have to leave my bike outside some places but I think management would frown upon me riding my bike inside their store, hehe.

Rayme · May 9th, 2010, 12:39 PM

My jacket is too heavy and bulky to put anywhere else than leave it on me ! I attach my helmet on the helmet strap and usually slide my gloves in my back pocket

This. Why make your bike a bigger target for vandals, casual thieves, or the general butt head?

Momaru · May 9th, 2010, 01:38 PM

I keep all my gear with me, jacket, helmet, gloves, backpack. Have gotten the stink eye from department store clerks, but no-one has said a word.

CZroe · May 9th, 2010, 01:58 PM

I wear the jacket because I leave the helmet locked on the bike and I don't want anyone questioning the wild helmet hair or tank bag. "Would you ask a woman to 'check in' her purse at the front?!" "Did you expect me to leave my laptop on the bike?!" "So what if you sell this here too. If I were shopping at a mall I wouldn't have to make a trip back to stash my merchandise in the car after every stop and I CAN'T do that on a motorcycle. I have receipts."

Snake · May 9th, 2010, 03:25 PM

I leave my jacket on, it's all leather but not hot at all. My helmet I lock to the bike and my gloves go in my jacket pockets.

CRXTrek · May 9th, 2010, 03:35 PM

I keep all my gear with me, including my Ohlins

Over 2 thou $ spent , damn right i carry it all with me!

joyinc · May 9th, 2010, 03:37 PM

i take everything with me

once i rode my bike out to this hiking place though to spend the day walking around... so then i emptied my pockets and locked all my gear to my bike with a cable lock, but thats pretty rare.

Sailariel · May 9th, 2010, 04:04 PM

I wear the jacket and riding pants. I carry my helmet in a helmet bag along with my gloves. Never has been a problem.

miks · May 9th, 2010, 04:36 PM

Wear and hold everything.

sofo · May 9th, 2010, 04:41 PM

I wear my gear, carrying my helmet / gloves with me. I don't believe in helmet locks and kinda like walking around in an armor'ed jacket and back protector, if it was good enough for Boba Fett...

Several times I have stopped to use a bank machine and don't bother to take my helmet off, since I wear glasses and it's a hassle. The idea that it may drive the security camera people nuts is a bonus too.

I have been looking at the Icon Squad II back pack and a co-worker got one so I got a user review and hands-on look and I will be getting one this week.

- Helmet bag lets you walk around with your helmet safe and protected and it doesn't bounce off your ass.
- Stowage space for gloves and one of about 20 compartments for earplugs
- Clips to pack a jacket are brilliant.

The only thing it's missing is the previous version's visor pouch but otherwise if it had an airflow back i'd use it for riding, hiking and snowboarding!

What I'm ranting about: here

want1sobad · May 10th, 2010, 03:40 AM

everything always comes with me - not gonna give anyone the opportunity to mess with my gear. seems like everytime i give the "general public" the benefit of the doubt i get screwed......

lockie · May 10th, 2010, 03:47 AM

I usually leave the helmet and gloves on the bike and wear the rest wherever I'm going. If I'm inside a long time and nervous about the helmet I'll try and find somewhere to store it inside.
I have left my jacket with the bike but only in situations where I can see the bike or where I know it's secure.

tabogon · May 10th, 2010, 05:52 AM

It all comes with me, I don't trust anyone.

tjkamper · May 10th, 2010, 06:18 AM

I wear everything and carry my helmet in most places.

Nothing beats the BAD ASS feeling you get when people stair.

demp · May 10th, 2010, 06:52 AM

always comes with me. occasionally I'll leave my helmet on the bike, but only when I'm only parking for a few minutes

rceezy · May 10th, 2010, 07:39 AM

When we go out to eat, I always ask for a larger table than needed. My gear have feelings too!

Gyrene · May 10th, 2010, 02:03 PM

Depends.....

If I am running into a gas station then I leave the jacket on and carry the gloves and helmet. If I am going to be inside a store for a while I will backpack the jacket and gloves and carry the helmet.

If I am meeting my wife somewhere (she in car), then I will put all my gear in the car while we are inside.

I have left my gear on my bike at some outdoor venues I have been to just because I could see it from where I was standing.

The situation will always dictate how I handle things.

bdavison · May 10th, 2010, 02:28 PM

I take my gear with me...around here in GA, if you leave the helmet on the bike in the sun, you come back and its like putting a volcano on your head.

ScorpionNinja · May 11th, 2010, 09:20 AM

I usually lock my helmet to the cowl/seat lock, wear my jacket on me and put gloves in jacket pockets. Depends on where i go thou...

ROFL, The other week i went to see a movie. So i lock the helm to the bike and clip my gloves onto my pants belt loop... carrying a helmet along with a Huge pop and popcorn is a PITA!

Anyhow, so while im walking up to the ticket chick, some kid asks me
"Want kinda coat are ya wearing?"

I just reply "I'M KICK ASS"

and walk away to my movie.

I heard afew kids laugh and snicker behind me. I guess they've seen the movie too!

I love going into Wal-mart or Meijer to get afew small things, 20 oz. pop or whatever.... cuz ppl look at you like your a SUPERHERO!

The cutie Pharmacy chick dug my Scorpion gear when i was picking up some meds.

One time i carried my Helm with me, went into a Best Buy. The staff was weary of me. Pleeeease , so i found what CD i was looking for and got to the checkout gal and she asked to look "INTO" my helmet. As if i put a CD in there that i was going to steal, hiding it sort of.
Thats what she thought of and told me. Everything was fine, got my item and left. I just thought the attention was dumb, now i could see em being weary If i WORE the Helmet around in the store for those 30mins.... as if Im gonna rob the place! LOL

Not to mention, if you do this alot of the time during summer, and the helm is under the UV's for long periods of time... the Helm might not hold up to a crash? As if lets say 5 yrs that helm needs to be replaced... but if UV rays beat down on it hardcore alot... say after 2 yrs... maybe the helm is AGED as if it were 5-7yrs?

But yea.... dude It can be like stucking your head in a MICROWAVE!!

2WheelGuy · May 11th, 2010, 09:44 AM

For short stops I generally carry my gear with me. If I'm going to an event and will be walking around I lock my gear to the bike.

I always carry one of these type locks:

Just thread it through the sleeves of your jacket(s) and around your upper triple clamp. It can easily hold two helmets and two jackets.

joyinc · May 11th, 2010, 03:52 PM

dumb question... whats an upper triple clamp?

i havent used my lock on the ninja yet... not sure what i'd lock stuff to

The piece that connects the forks, just under the handlebars. The ignition switch is usually attached to it.

Hadyn · May 11th, 2010, 05:36 PM

I always wear the jacket around if I'm going into a store or something. Depending on what part of town I'm in and how long I'll be out of line of sight with the bike I'll either leave the helmet on the mirror, lock it to the bike (with a cable lock, I can't figure out how the hell the helmet lock is supposed to work), or carry it with me. Gloves and earplugs go in the jacket pockets.

BlueTyke · May 11th, 2010, 09:16 PM

I really don't like to leave my gear at my motorcycle at all. If I can I take it all with me. I usually travel with people who have big saddle bags so if I go with them they let me put my helmet in there... Otherwise my gear is with me. I need it to ride home ^^

kevlarorc · May 11th, 2010, 10:02 PM

I leave my jacket and my gloves on generally. I usually just take off my helmet and that's it but I always take it inside with me.

Flow · May 12th, 2010, 01:37 AM

I wear my gear to bed. Who needs blankets?

I've done this with my jacket, but what are you threading the chain to on the helmet? The d-rings? I usually use the back seat for the helms, but I hear that's easily defeated.

Pants are my problem, The sound of snow pants rubbing together while I walk, and it's 80+ degrees outside makes me feel like a goon. Stripping them off is awkward, and not practical every time I want to walk in to a department store. No ones really said anything...The jacket kind of offsets it, since I rarely take it off while I'm out. But always ATGATT...

JeffM · May 12th, 2010, 05:02 PM

Helmet off, gloves stuffed into helmet, earplugs out, and then the helmet goes into the shopping cart. The rest stays on. For real quick store runs, I sometimes leave my helmet on. On hot days I loiter in the frozen section.

lockie · May 12th, 2010, 06:56 PM

Pants can cause an embarrassment at times. If I've forgotten to switch my wallet to my outer pants then I have to unzip the riding pants in public so that i can get at the pocket of my jeans inside. I haven't been arrested yet but I've gotten some strange looks.

On hot days I loiter in the frozen section.

If I've forgotten to switch my wallet to my outer pants then I have to unzip the riding pants in public so that i can get at the pocket of my jeans inside. I haven't been arrested yet but I've gotten some strange looks.
