Atgatt?

On the way to lunch today I was passed by a kid on an R1. He was wearing a T-shirt, shorts, sneakers and sunglasses. No helmet, gloves, jacket etc. However, he was wearing a back protector. I thought it was an interesting choice of gear. It got me thinking; if I had to pick just one piece of gear, what would it be?
Any nominatons?

Choose one piece of gear !

Well If I was that squid it would have to be a parachute. You're right, a back-protector is a strange choice unless it is the in-fad.

A helmet, preferably one with attached leathers.

A lawn chair. Without a helmet, gloves, and armored jacket at a minimum, I'm not even going to ride.
