Total Newbie, Picking up my 81 XS400 on Saturday

On gear, When I was young and stupid a 75 Kawasaki H1-500 tried to kill me twice. It threw me twice at a speed in excess of 130 mph.
Regrowing skin is much more uncomfortable than wearing proper gear. Proper gear is only uncomfortable for the few hours you ride, Regrowing skin take months. 35 years later the scars show up fine after a hot shower and broken thumbs still hurt.
A lot of people laugh at me for wearing a leather jacket, chaps and boots when I ride in 90 degree weather.
I laugh at the fools who ride around in basketball shorts, a wife beater shirt and flip flops and a full face helmet.
I think just wait till they fall, they won't laugh then.
