If i commute then goretex pants, leather riding jacket, backprotector, riding boots and gauntlet gloves are the LEAST amount of gear I´ve ever ridden in.....

...and there is the difference between the USA and Europe. When I was visiting Germany many years ago, I noted that difference (everyone had major gear) and it kept me off a bike for a long time here in the States as I got older. That reason combined with the general lack of respect decent street riders get here from drivers but that is another part of the story.
The real question is...why was a guy FROM CHICAGO at the Dragon in street clothes? I understand the lack of gear for the small run down the street and such but this seems strange.
In the end its his right but it is strange...
