If you rode in full gear today...

[Maverickflyer]

I too move myself around to chill....top neck strap is done up but zipper, on jacket, is a little undone.....I open my jacket with my left hand while ridin then, ...I get the parachute effect in my leather jacket...and ohsooo cool!

I do the same thing.

It work while your riding, but at a stop light you're screwed.

Full gear yesterday and today. It wasn't too bad yesterday, but I was killed on the 404 this morning. I woke up late and and got stuck in gridlock. Perf leather jacket and X-11 help at speed but do very little when standing still. I don't think the rad fans shut off once either...

Dipping out early to avoid the traffic tonight...

[baka]

WOW. full leathers in this heat. I personally wear a jacket everywhere everytime.. but this is just insane! I would have a heat stroke and pass out while mid lean LOL

[switchx]

Yup, full gear always. I prefer sweating than bleeding.

[derekz]

Squid On the side of protection I wore sunblock and a condom, so I'm fully covered, just in case

Cheers

[Cat13]

so lets hear some suggestions, where do you guys put your ipod other than a jacket pocket?

Not a guy so I stuff my ipod in my bra.
As for gear if I'm gonna be on the highway or might be then I'd geared up.
Just hopping around town I ditch the coat.

Rode in a textile jacket, jeans, and boots today to work. VERY hot and it was only 7:30 am. Yikes!

[mchatel]

I've still been wearing full gear, each day, since this thread started. I was tempted to forego the leather coat, but my fellow road occupants (cagers) convinced me otherwise.

Two days... two incidents of people deciding they want to share my lane instead of waiting for traffic ahead of them.

It's not bad as long as you're moving.

[Jayv]

Two incidents in two days, maybe sharpen up your blocking positioning.


As for ATGATT debate, we should all try and wear proper protective gear, but at some point you have to draw the line, heat exhaustion can creep up un-noticed.

[mchatel]

Two incidents in two days, maybe sharpen up your blocking positioning.

Agreed. I thought I was blocking pretty good, but apparently not.

[SurRea1]

Mesh jacket, jeans, gloves, helmet is the least amount of gear i'll wear.

[AdReNaLiNe99]

+1

I'll never squid. Even if the Devil himself was controlling the thermostat.

I like my skin way too much to allow another motorist to total my biggest organ.

[mikem]

Full mesh suit over work clothes, boots and gloves.

[scamper]

Mesh jacket, jeans, leather mesh gloves, helmet and Doc's for me feet!

That's the minimum.

I have a really good imagination so when I see riders in tank tops or shorts and flip-flops, my heart sinks and the 'Ouch factor' goes way up!

[saichaitanya88]

Atgatt for me. went out for a 20 min ride just now and sweat buckets. but it's worth it because of safety

ps. once you're covered in sweat it actually gets a lot cooler

[draggone]

And you loose weight too.

[saichaitanya88]

And you loose weight too.

really?

[tommyboytp]

Never be a squid. I was in full gear today. I didn't think I was going down, but I locked the front wheel and hit the ground. Just a broken turn turn signal and a few body scuffs inside my gear. Thank god for ALL protective clothing.

[FZ1Oakville]

I had all my gear on here in Kitchener. Both coming to work...and also took a quick spin, to catch a glimpse of the Queen (she was in town).

As long as I was moving, I was fine.
