Here is my riding gear I put on most of the time I ride

Alright now, before i start sharing all my exiting rides or even those regular commute to work, let me start with what I slap on most of the time when I turn the engine to my Baby...

Well, call me a Safety freak or whatever, but its not your skin on the line bro..
So from left to right, I have my Alpinestars basic riding jacket and I always have a yellow reflective vest over it.
Over on the top middle there, you can see my basic knee and shin guard.  Eventhough its not the top of the line kind, but I suppose somethin is better than notin at all
And also right beneath them are my gloves. I simply like the color coz its got that black over red design, and I think its pretty sexy tho.
Over on the top right, you can see my full-faced helmet, and what's hanging out from it is actually my Alpinestars balaclava, or helmet spandex. I bought it for hygenic reasons, trust me, you don't want your helmet lining to have that shitty smell after just one year on it. 
Here's a closer look at my helmet. Of all the types of full-faced, I really like this one simply becoz its got that chin cover so that no unwanted debris or worse some bugs come flying into the helmet. Plus its the strap type and not those bucle fasteners type. Somehow those fasteners has a breaking point coz its made out of plastic or poly-whatever material. Anyways, its got a pretty interesting graphic design on it, and it matches my bike's color.

Also a closer look at my riding jacket. Its an Alpinestars with removable paddings on the spine area, shoulders and elbows. Another thing I like about this jacket is that its got a zippered removable insulation lining if I ever decide to ride to the Alps... hahaha...
Well folks, "till next time"...
