i ask this because of the silly suit!! where are you supposed to go with all that gear? you cant go out for a drink or dinner or something.
or you war jeans and put yourself in more danger than you actually are..
i love motorcycles, but knowing me, i would be dead in a month on one.. so i avoid them..

There's 2 classes of riders. The ones who use it to commute, and the ones who only take it out only on really nice days/weekends/days off, etc for a small jaunt or tour.
I'm the first, I use it as a commuter/method of transportation.
For the suit question, generally speaking people who wear FULL suits are only going to the track. If they're not, they're the ones using it for a method of transportation and they'll just take it off when they get to the destination and stow it.
There's tons of gear out there that looks completely appropriate to wear out in public but still provides some good protection. Kevlar jeans (one of my favorites). Riding pants that don't look ridiculous, etc etc.
