agree with that statement... I just gave my buddy a set of ear plugs... he's never ridden with plugs WTF

Yep I feel weird without gear too. Even just leaving out my earplugs for a short trip doesn't feel right.

i always ride with lid, jacket and gloves. even when i first got and took it two blocks to the park to use the parking lot i geared up. my buddy looked at me when i was gearing up and said " ur just going to the park" to which i replyed " im not planning to go down...." rode with no jacket once, never again. iv hit bugs, rocks, ect, that crap hurts through the jacket!!! and no lid??!!! one night comin home, i ran through lake flies for around 15 miles, could barly see by the time i got home. cant imagine doin that with no helmet..
