Safety Gear?
Uzi9mm:
When I rode a 125 I wore a T-shirt and tennis shoes sometimes a helmet. But I was 15 and lucky. I started the 500 with Asics running shoes, It hurts, a lot. :-D
Danger4U2 recommended the Asterisk Cell for a knee brace. I was also looking at the EVS Web. The Asterisk brace looks like it provides better support. So I'm going with the Asterisk braces.
MadKaw:
I try to keep it simple. a thong and a hair net! Stupid Hurts!
maddoggy:
a THONG madkaw???? :roll: don't care much about what you do with your hair, but if I ever see you riding you better be wearing riding pants over that thong. :-) :-)
Good:
I wear a thong also, a camo one! Oh, and riding boots.
J/K!
The next thing I want is a good neck brace. I've never broken a bone, well maybe an ankle one time, but I didn't go to the doc and was on crutches for 2 weeks so I don't know about that, but I don't want my first confirmed one to be a neck... :oops:

Depending on how hard, where, and the style you ride can definately dictate your gear. I have had my share of very serious injuries over the years and most have been with a full regiment of safety gear.
Do not skimp on the quality/price of something unless it is to get another item of gear in return and if so, as soon as possible try and upgrade items when you are able. A top quality light helmet is a must with well fitting ergonomic boots being next. Chest protector is always a good idea.
My regiment:
Shoei VFX-DT TC-5 Fonseca Helmet (one of the lightest around)
Utopia Slayer Goggles (nicest goggles)
Alpinestars Tech10 Boots (fits like a glove...uuhhhh boot)
Fox Racing Airframe Chest Protector
LBZ MX pants/long sleeve jerseys/gloves
Fox Racing Mountain Bike Padded Shorts (prevents monkeybutt :roll:)
anddd SAND !!! The best anti rock and rash prevention around :evil: Still can snap bones though if you digger it hard.... :|
