Agreed! And I think I'm a bit over the top with this, even the slightest wheel turn of a car (on a straight road), I will bleep my horn (not because angry but just to make sure the car knows that I am there).

them also.  Got money but big bike buy cannot afford basic safety riding gears
I do get laughed by some because I wear safety jacket with chest amour, gloff, knee shin protection.... Even steering my daily ride to work.  Some laugh at me asking , go racing ah ?

Another issue with t-shirt and jeans on sportbikes is that the wind tends to lift up the back of the shirt at speed...been exposed to way too many buttcracks this way

WOw,

why don't we discuss this in a TT, not in forum, this is not /k we all riders and brothers/sister.

Let me know if you guys keen to the TT let me organize it.

anyone ride with working clothes and then armor on the outside?

will it become all wrinkle when reach office?

What kind/brand of knee pads? Any photos?

Does it feel uncomfortable or make you feel unnatural when moving around?

How is this knee protector ?
Are the straps good?  Able to hold it in place?

Do these go under or over the jeans? 

haha, agreed. Getting nagged by parents in a pain as well.
We'll see how it goes when I'm back.

how to avoid this?

Anyone have any advice for the type of frame for glasses best suited for full face helmet? Normally I don't wear my glasses for riding.

I saw titanium frames at the stores, definitely out of my budget haha.

Currently using the HJC CS-15 which has the small openings for glasses, but my aluminum frame glasses have those plastic bulging sections at the ends of the arms. Makes it very difficult to get them into the slots.

EDIT: Tried asking about contact lenses also, but the optometrist said the right eye's required power is so high that they don't make contacts like that.

- as a solo night rider, there is moment of "OMGWTF dude turn off your bloody AUX light blyat" when i meet others riders with all AUX light on, like a Christmas tree, rolling on the highway, as if they're riding alone off road.

i understand AUX light is important, if can't turn off, pointing it a bit down or just don't tailgate me, overtake.

why page 1 and 2 got warning? ada attack?

I just stumbled on this thread a few days ago and there is genuine advice mixed with a lot of noise too.

What I would suggest to any newbie (or anyone else) who's ended up here looking for advice, read some books on the subject matter. There are far more experienced and qualified motorcyclists out there than some random poster on the internet. I recommend books also because the topics are usually arranged in better sequence and the knowledge contained is a lot more complete than YouTube videos. Of course, YouTube videos can help by visualising some of the harder concepts in books (e.g. gyroscopic forces and countersteering), but overall the videos aren't arranged sequentially and you can end watching many videos which have a lot of overlap over the same ideas.

To OP, I would strongly suggest that you start a resource list in the first post. My recommended books are:
