@Krazer2100 My Aerostich Combat Touring boots are big, and can't fit through the leg. They are easy to get on and off, and best of all, have prevented my ankle from being crushed in multple accidents.
@1shadowfang8 Check out a "Python" cable lock. I have a 15 foot length cable lock by Python and I use it to lock my bike, and loop it through my suit and helmet when I am in areas where theft is likely.
@AtlasRider thanks bro still thinking of buying a bike... might ride without boots unless there is a way to lock boots onto the bike somehow.. you should invent something like that man.... boots lock on your bike.... you could just tie shoes on there?hmm I know I can phyton the pants helmet and jacket but boots....
@1shadowfang8 There also is a steel mesh net bag by PacSafe. I used a rainproof Sealine bag (intended for kayaking) and would put the PacSafe net over the Sealine bag. You could put a pair of boots in there.
@1shadowfang8 ok if you get the right boots they are comfortable to walk in and not just ride in so that eliminates shoes. get a decent mid/summer weight jacket and just layer up and you wont have to have a bunch of gear. pants are up to you, i wear jeans but they suck if you lay the bike down and yes i have wrecked in the before.
Totally agree with you... ATGATT, but that looks like a major hassle. But I don't ride my bike to the store or friend's houses anyway. I just take it on long beautiful blasts around my favorite roads. In 5 years I can probably count on both of my hands the number of trips I've made under 100miles. Kinda crazy to think about it. lol. Guess that's why my bank called me 2 years ago for spending a crap ton of money in $9 increments at random gas stations.
Good video. I high ended 3 yrs ago. The only part of me without armor was my legs, and those were the bones broken, and badly. If I'd had a jacket without armor, sneakers instead of boots, and an open- instead of full-face helmet, I'd have died instantly. Back to riding, & always put on knee guards. Ride safe & God bless!
Great vid! Im a scooter rider and get laughed at for wearing protection. But if you've seen the streets in Las Vegas, you'd probably understand too. I know a 150 scoot doesnt go as fast as a motorcycle, but the same damage can be done at 35mph. One ass sitting at a bus bench had the nerve to laugh at me. I hollared at him, "At least IM moving!!!" LOL
you shouldn't have to remove your boots to get into and out of the aerostich.... I never do :) A long cable to loop through the sleeves and lock to a disc u-lock is easier than rolling the suit up. If you're inside for a while, get their little gear bag (or an equivalent size) and put the rolled up suit in that.
I am down to just the aerostich year round. You get where you're going, take off the suit, and you're ready! (I stuff the suit in a locked top box). Great vid
@GPz84 Took the words right out of my mouth. Most people would say what is the point, then quit riding after one crash in a T-Shirt. When they are sitting in a hospital bed, the gear does not seem so much of a hassle, unfortunately it does seem like a big hassle everywhere else but in the hospital. Even worst...some still don't get it after a crash. I know humans are supposed to be intelligent creatures but we sometimes like moths to a flame. Some intelligence.
the gear your using shouldn't be able to roll up like that if its any good, you must have little/no protection in the shoulders, back, elbows, knees, shins, and thighs.... get a proper set of leathers and a decent back+chest protector and then get a leatt street neck brace. But at least you have the right idea. Safe riding buddy.
Why the jumpsuit? Just throw on a leather jacket and some riding pants, then you wont have to look like a knob taking off a shit ton of clothes just to get off the bike
@rustyeffect A one piece is better protection...hence why they wear it on the track. Depends on your priority. Convenience for TODAY or for the rest of your LIFE. Not saying you HAVE to wear one piece, just saying it's nothing to question. It's like "Why you wear a racing harness in your car?". The answer is obvious.
This video is one of my favorites. I have 2 Motoport suits. My 3 season suit (good for riding in all conditions except 90+ degree weather) is one piece, and I can get it on and off in about 20-25 seconds without pulling off my boots. Having crashed in my gear at 35 mph (Corvette pulled in front of me then slammed on brakes) and suffering only a minor abrasion on my left knee, I am a believer in ATGATT.
@bartmaniv So a video about how much of a hassle putting gear on is should be required at DMV? Oh...I get it. You hate bikers and are hoping for maximum casualties. Got ya. Makes sense. They should add some dangerous stunts too. lol
I agree with wearing gear all the time but never leave anything with your bike. Don't forget gear is expensive and people will steal it just so they can sell it.
bro thats a cool way to do it but NOT if you`r in Romania. If you would let ya stuff hanging like you did there... in 5 minutes its gone and maybe they would take the bike to.... just for fun... there`s no use to steal the gear if they cant ride somethin`.
Good job and i hope nowbody dares to steal ur stuff
I can't believe that you need to take your boots off to remove or put on your Aerostich Roadcrafter suit!!! You are making a hassle out of something that isn't.
@ironmedic I use a steel braided cable combination lock to secure my suit to the bike. I lock my helmet and gloves in one of the saddlebags. If my Shad top case isn't in use, I stuff my suit in there. I have a 2009 Yamaha FJR. Best commuting bike ever! Power and handling of a sport bike, comfort and storage of a touring bike.
spending 2:29 to put on or take off the gear is better than having ass graphs placed on your chest n back. think about it. PS. i notice everything on a bike and everything in between. you havent got jacked for your suit yet !!!
good safety related video. i ride a 600cc, and i dont really wear all the gear sometimes. but accidents happen. in this texas horrible hot weather. trust me, its a pita have all your gear on.
@tomtx06 same here, I ride in California and it's just too hot to wear a thick jacket all the time; I always where close toed shoes, thick denim jeans, and obviously a helmet
Curious question about your boots... I noticed they are outside your jeans when you are riding and inside when you are not. Would it not be easier to just leave them inside your jeans and not have to take them off? Or is there a more practical reason? I guess they must be pretty comfortable, I can hardly wear my boots on a hot humid day here in STL.
Hey man in the next week I'll be getting a red ninja and I think this would be cool to have with it, where'd you get that riding suit and who makes it?
i dont use that kind of gear but stashing there would be impossible on my current bike, its a gsr and the exhaust is kind of under the rear seat. can you say 'oven baked safety suit'? nice vid though, and it doesnt take you that long :)
ATGATT..only way to ride even though there have been so many times it seems way more convenient to only use helmet + jacket + gloves. What suit is that?
@pch0mey Yo, it's an Aerostich, out of Duluth, Minnesota. About eight bills... This guy has a window facing that bike. And a fast way to the street... No doubt...
cool video-great message---we ride through a lot of weather conditions---and sometimes in areas where many other riders have no protective gear/helmet but I always say I'd rather sweat to death than bleed to death.
What's a bigger hassle that taking the time to put it on and off is having to carry it around. I can't leave my helmet and jacket on my bike. I'm pretty sure it won't be there when I come back. :)
@AnotherCopierOfM13 It's not secure, but I stopped worrying about security a while ago. Haven't had a problem. I don't think most people even notice it there.
@2010MGRV It took some getting used to when I first started (5 years ago), but now my attention automatically focuses on the road when it needs more of my concentration. Sometimes I'll be focusing on the road for so long a whole song goes by without me noticing it. So, it hasn't be a problem for me personally.
It is worth it! You are correct. I do not leave my helmet. The gloves go in my saddle bag. So far so good. Then again, my bike is either parked at home behind a locked fence or in front of the bank windows in front of my workplace. If someone takes something, there will be security cameras.
I had someone steal my gloves out of my helmet. Helmet was locked to the bike so they couldn't take that. They must've watched me put my gloves in there since I had a dark smoke shield on it and you couldn't tell they were there.
I've learned thieves are opportunists, and if they can steal something they will. Now all my gear is on me, or locked up. IMO, you've been lucky so far.
@DarkNinja75 I decided a long time ago the the anxiety of worrying about theft, coupled with the hassle of carrying around gear when you are getting on and off the bike is a greater mental and physical effort cost that is greater than the cost of the gear itself.
If someone takes it, they take it. It's just stuff.
You never hear about all the gear out there that hasn't been stolen.
@AtlasRider You should buy a cable lock and run it through a sleeve and lock it around the subframe when you leave your gear in between the tail and wheel. You could even fit it under the seat so you have it with you at all times.
im doing that same thing. carring your gear around is a bitch ( going out, work ) etc. cable under the seat, through the helmet and jacket sleeve is the best option.
very good viedo i think every body needs to wear gear all. the time in my area i see far too many squids riding in shrits ad no helmet o protective gear at all and they thik it looks cool depedig on what kind of rideing im goig to depeds whitch gear i wear
Well done Atlas, but I wouldn't let my gear off my eyesight :) Coincidentally I just shot a vlog today where i mention that I use some gear all the time (except the pants and boots). But def good advice!
The 'Stich is easy to put on and take off for sure. There's no way I'd leave mine tucked under the seat like that leaving the bike. However, I realize you probably just did that for the video. I paid far too much for my 'Stich to leave it for someone to jack. I run a cable lock through if if I don't carry it with me for whatever reason. Definitely agree, all the gear, all the time!
@BusasaurusRex I just always may sure to park in more public spots (sidewalks) so the chances of someone taking stuff with lots of people around are lessened. After two years of doing this, haven't had a problem. If it's a sketchy area, I take it with me. I just play it by ear, but most the time my stich goes above the rear tire.
Yes indeed bro, I can't preach that enough myself. Crashing will make one a believer really quick, and it's better to think yes I have everything on, vs no I wish I would of got some pants or whatever because you are now f***ed.
@MobileReign Yea it's a 'stich, and I've been doing it for two years now. No problem. I just always may sure to park in more public spots (sidewalks) so the chances of someone taking stuff with lots of people around are lessened.
His helmet looks kinda like a pokeball.

@imlkrsfn yes, this...I can't see where the boots/street shoes go, for starters.

Well done Atlas, but I wouldn't let my gear off my eyesight :) Coincidentally I just shot a vlog today where i mention that I use some gear all the time (except the pants and boots). But def good advice!

The 'Stich is easy to put on and take off for sure. There's no way I'd leave mine tucked under the seat like that leaving the bike. However, I realize you probably just did that for the video. I paid far too much for my 'Stich to leave it for someone to jack. I run a cable lock through if if I don't carry it with me for whatever reason. Definitely agree, all the gear, all the time!

@BusasaurusRex I just always may sure to park in more public spots (sidewalks) so the chances of someone taking stuff with lots of people around are lessened. After two years of doing this, haven't had a problem. If it's a sketchy area, I take it with me. I just play it by ear, but most the time my stich goes above the rear tire.

@AtlasRider But you miss out on the funny looks people give you when you start taking your trousers off in work!
Always interesting to see who looks disappointed and who looks relieved :)
Yet another agree on all the gear, all the time.

Yes indeed bro, I can't preach that enough myself. Crashing will make one a believer really quick, and it's better to think yes I have everything on, vs no I wish I would of got some pants or whatever because you are now f***ed.

Is that a 'stich? Why would you put it under your seat? You know thieves and the like.

@MobileReign Yea it's a 'stich, and I've been doing it for two years now. No problem. I just always may sure to park in more public spots (sidewalks) so the chances of someone taking stuff with lots of people around are lessened.
