    May be its because you look SEXY in it and your irresistible to touch! Why take it in a negative way guys? We are after all the trend setters and doing what is correct! Just enjoy the celebrity status at the crossing and signals!

    Still if you feel need to do some thing then next time someone gives you a cold stare just ask him does he needs autograph or is he just a gay ogler?

    People in pune think their head are of steel and their body is made of titanium so they dont need any of the protective gears, i have come across many idiots asking me why i wear a full denim jacket and wear a ninja helmet to drive a splendor, all i say is ITS MY STYLE and i dont care a damn about others.

    How true! I ride my R15 wearing a full face helmet (helmets are compulsory here), & a Probiker riding glove.. The helmet doesn't make people stare at me, but the combination of a riding glove & the R15 does. Initially, the stares people gave used to make me concious, but nowadays I don't even look around. People do keep passing comments, especially discussions between bike riders & their pillions.
    But at the end of the day, we don't wear the riding gear for other road users, but for ourselves & because we understand & try to prepare ourselves for the kind of unforseen situations we as bike riders are prone to. So why bother about their stares or what they have to comment (in hush tones)..

    they used to stare because many people don't take elbow guard,bikers jacket,gloves etc as safety gears ...

    Very well put. I totally agree, dcs.

    Very True said Aryan. What I have seen is that people in cages and out of them, feel offended in God-knows-what ways when they see a rider in a good riding gear. Weird questions are bombarded at traffic intersections, railways crossings but lets not forget that these questions and queries are nothing in comparison to the wounds and damages we might suffer without them.

    We at times spend around 50% of the cost of our steed on our riding gear because we know bruises are not ornaments, nor are they Decoration.

    People do stare, but I would also confess to the fact that a few people do appreciate the fact that we, as motorcyclists take full care of our safety; especially a few car drivers have actually said this, which is really good to hear.

    They think we wear all that for racing, which is obviously not true.
    The worst comment I received was (translated to English): Why is he showing off wearing all that when he is just riding an R15-by wearing all that it won't look like an R1!

    LOL !!
    They touch you

    The day i bought my helmet, office colleagues asked me the price. On hearing it they said "Itne mei toh ek puraana scooter aajaaega "
    Also, get those disapproving stares from people who think i am some kind of freak with lots of money to waste. Now thats true, i would love to waste some money on Joe Rockets
