when I was new to ninjette I didn't know ATGATT too, googled it and found it. But I've also read about MGATT around here, what does that mean?

Most Gear All The Time?

the big mike · September 14th, 2011, 06:20 AM

yeah, I was thinking Medium gear all the time. But I believe both are meaningless

But no seriously, all the gear, all the time.

MTGATT: Most the gear, all the time. Hence, jacket, boots, gloves, helmet. (No safety/leather pants.

Are service boots acceptable?

I normally wear helmet, gloves, armored jacket, and a pair or black leather/textile side-zip service boots... Guess that makes me a MTGATT rider; now that I know what the two stand for. Like the OP, I had seen it mentioned, but never knew what it stood for.

I wouldnt really say so. It's all about ankle protection. I guess they're better then normal everyday shoes, but you may want to look into a pair of shoes with a little more protection. They dont have to be full boots. I own a pair of these. I've only worn them a bit around the house. Pick up the bike next week. But they're comfortable enough.

I think alpine stars came out with something similar but for 150 dollars. Seemed pretty good.

All The Gear You Can Afford

YORCHI · September 15th, 2011, 07:46 AM

So just to clarify for those of us that don't know what ALL the gear is...me included

So we need:

Head - Helmet
Ears - Earplugs
Neck - ?
Torso - Jacket with shoulder, arms, and elbow protection
Hands - Full gauntlet gloves with wrist protection
Chest - Chest Protector
Back - Back Protector
Legs - Kevlar or Leather pants with thigh protection, knee protection, shin protection
Feet/Ankle - Full length boots with ankle protection

Did I miss anything? Is that really what ALL the gear means?

I only have a Helmet, Jacket, Gloves, and Boots and I always wear them. I want some pants and I'll get them soon but for now I ride with what I have and I always wear it. My wife has a helmet, jacket, and gloves but she doesn't have motorcycle boots. The one time I gave her a ride I made sure she did wear whatever boots she did have but she's a chick and mostly has heels and sandals

ATGATT

the big mike · September 15th, 2011, 10:58 AM

As far as I know, ATGATT means:
helmet
jacket
gloves
kevlar/leather pants
boots

This way, every part of your body is being protected against rash. the back protector is a little over the top. So is the knights harness. I like the girls outfit though

n4mwd · September 15th, 2011, 01:13 PM

No matter how much gear you get, there will always be somebody tell you you're going to die if you don't wear [insert expensive item here] all the time. I wear a helmet, jacket and gloves and sometimes racing pants. Only the gloves are leather. My helmet is good enough that I don't need earplugs.

Whatever you decide to get, only get stuff you will actually wear. Don't buy stuff that you find so uncomfortable that it stays in your closet.

As a side note, always remember that ATGATT does not make you invincible. And to point this out, I refer to two recent threads where two bikers got run over by a car. The kid in NY was wearing a helmet and was killed. The kid in Utah was without a helmet and survived. There were other factors, but ATGATT doesn't guarantee anything.

ironglory · September 15th, 2011, 03:03 PM

ATGATT - at least you have something. Road rash is painful and disgusting - imagine having pus all over the affected area. The stench of that amount is just unbelievable. The kid in Utah just got lucky. I'm sure if u asked him what he would different after he had survived an accident in that magnitude is that he'd take MSF Course & MGATT/ATGATT b4 and during each ride and be more aware of the road conditions. My guess.
Wearing the gear is just a no brainer - IMH yet accurate opinion. Its a responsibility we riders carry in our shoudler for the sake of our love ones (mom, dad, bros, sis, friends).
A friend of ours here in the forum's from TX and even in summer he's in full gear. just add more maturity with this sport.

Be safe out there my friends.
