Same ideas it seems. Let's cover our head and upper body, lower body? Who needs protection?
95% of the time
I'm geared from head to toe (helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, shoes)
The other 5% i'll have everything minus the pants. Say if i go for lunch downtown, or ride to the drug store or grocery store that's 1km away...
I know the risk is there 100% of the time but that's the risk i'm willing to take. SO much so that if i don't have my gear on, i feel weird and naked on the bike.

Resurgence jeans.
Expensive but worth it.
I'm gonna have to do a whole bunch of overtime before i can get myself a pair of those!
I've seen them at GP and at Rider's choice
That's actually not bad at all. My brother paid an outrageous amount for his riding jeans, like $750 after taxes and shipping. I still mock him for that.
I buy whole bikes for way less.
$750????
These are it: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rokker-revolution-jeans
Would cost you even more today.

Same, but I can probably count the amount of times I haven't ridden with full gear on 1 hand in the past 5+ years. I even wear race boots into work. An hour to hour and a half commute in traffic 80% of the time can open up a lot of opportunities for an accident to occur..
My rationale behind it is: If a much more skilled/experienced rider can get into a collision/make a mistake, I sure as hell can too.
That being said, it makes no sense to start shaming everyone that doesn't wear full gear - it's their own choice. Same can be said for all bicyclists that don't even wear a helmet.
In many other places, it's actually seen as weird to be in full gear for street riding and people will start seeing you as a try-hard street racer/poser.
Back on topic: Yesterday parked at work (in a lot) near King & Spadina, came back to see some Moto Guzzi sharing a spot with me (Grey Ninja 300). Hello and nice bike!

I protect everything. Hell, I even wear a jock when I ride.
Saw a white/blue /red cbr 125 filling up at the Shell at Goreway and Queen about an hour ago. Damn that bike was loud for a 125!

This anyone on the forum?
Guy cut me off and gave me the finger and said something about ice cream as he was driving by.
