i ride a small scooter and wear almost full gear hahaha
FF helmet - kabuto kamui 3, jacket - komine jk-141, glove - komine gk-197, boots - forma viper dry...but lower parts still lacking, need some riding pants or maybe just hip & knee armour
several times i noticed at traffic lights, some rider took photo of me and probably laugh too but who cares, ive seen plenty of shit on the road and experience some too
years ago, had 1 accident, emergency brake to avoid a carbodo sudden switch from right lane into my lane at left.... fast speed, hard brake without abs, i had to slide the bike, jump out, and roll several times on the road. luckly there was no car behind and i wore gear & FF if not can kiss my face goodbye already...no serius injuries except some bruises, cuts but the worst are my toes coz i only wore hiking shoes (thick sole, heavy type) easily got torn off...that time wear agv k3 FF, rs taichi jacket and glove
also seen right in front of me, twice on separate occasion, on wet road after rain stopped, a hilux spun on middle of a straight highway and a myvi spun on little bend on highway
not counting the various numerous bike accident happen during daily 70km work commute
so thats why even after downgraded from big bike to small scooter i still wear full gear coz u never know when shit gonna happen but usually it's during the daily peak traffic jam time. also no point if getting a cheap or fake gear..wont protect anything, for show only
