No, Helmet isn't illegal. I even asked a local police officer 
As far as pants/boots..
I wear regular jeans and Ariat over the ankle leather boots.

Uh, yeah, what agent86 says, what about the other half of you?
The boots are great, but honestly, jeans are worthless in a crash. I've seen too many people loose too much skin, sorry. You should really consider getting some riding pants.
I work in the emergency room a lot, trust me even riding pants can result in losing skin. Not defending my jeans, just saying. Realize I just got my bike in November, i'm sure ill end up with some pants eventually but for now it's still better than being a squid who rides around with no gearThe boots are great, but honestly, jeans are worthless in a crash.

I've been eyeing these jeans: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-d1-kevlar-armor-ready-jeans

The previous D1s have padded knee protection, but nothing substantial. These new ones can have real knee protection for the maximum safety you could get from a jean. Unlike other jeans that are simply a heaver denim with a kevlar patch sewn into the high abrasion areas, these have kevlar woven throughout the fabric + the patches. I also like the length. I'm skinny and tall and always have problems finding jeans that fit me.
With the styling, and woven kevlar, they are really pricey, but I'm probably gonna save up for a pair with the added armor.

I've been looking at these since they came out. I'm skinny as well and like my jeans a little fitted (typically wear Levi's 511's). These look really nice and clean, and come with knee armor too. I've heard nothing but good things about draggin jeans as well.
I just don't think I'd ever be able to convince myself to buy them for $315 USD
That's getting close to some track pants available.
