So I have a motorcyle now. I've had it for a little over a month. I bought the armored jacket and motorcycle gloves and even some motorcycle pants. When wearing all the gear I feel a bit like a dork. Sure on some level I think it feels cool but over all I feel like some bike racer wannabe who's just trying to look cool. The fact is that I'm not trying to look cool. I'm just scared. I wear the gear to keep my skin on my body should I happen to go skidding across the pavement. That and it keeps me warm. My reasons for wearing the stuff isn't to look cool, but for very practical reasons. If you think I look cool in the stuff, that's your problem, not mine.

[sorry, I have no picture to show you what I'm talking about right now]
