If you rode in full gear today...

[ATTS]

I just came back from getting my chain tightened. Rode in full gear...Harley man pulls up beside me at a stop, tshirt and beanie helmet, points at me and asks "aren't you hot in that?".

you sure he wasn't saying you are hot? maybe he liked you.

You are funny.

[omnivore]

Didnt ride today, but rode over 1000 kms Sat night and all day Sunday. Full leather, boots, gloves, full face helmet.

I don't ride ever without gear. Not even to the corner store.

I went for a short ride today, but still wore my leather jacket and long leather gloves. I was really tempted not to, but i still wore my gear. I guess im still scared cause im a newb

Same here...
If it is too hot for gear, it is too hot to ride. So far it has never been to hot for gear.

Gave me a funny look like i was nuts.
I always dress for the slide not the ride.
Each to their own.

Full gear for me...

[toastywaffles]

holy hell is it hot out. Still do full gear though. I guess it's become a force of habit that I don't think twice.

Kinda wish I had one of those cooling fans that those big mascots at amusement parks have in their suits.... going 70k and the moving air still felt like it was coming out of an oven!

[erok60]

lucky for me i dont work till midnight so il wear my mesh jacket and my pants for work. during the day il still wear jeans and my boots but maybe a just a t shirt with out the jacket

[Nyx13]

Textiles....FTW!!!!!

[MotoStark]

ATTGATT for me.

Just got back. Bike displayed up to 35deg c at some points.

Full leathers, and thank goodness for extra venitlation holes and the awesome ventilation of the RF1100.

No sweat ride.

[Kokla]

lmao, that must suck. Do what teenagers do and stash your clothes somewhere and change. Just make sure you remember to put your gear back on before you get home. You wouldn't want to get grounded.

LOL, I can't believe I did that once, AND DEF tomorrow. God I almost died today, and that was with a mesh jacket.

^and this At +80 the air just felt cooling. Put one friggen stoplight in the way...

[carito]

yup to full gear today

lol am I the only one that tries to arch their back to get wind into the jacket?
Note to everyone: Dixie road at 4:00 in bumper to bumper was a bit suicidal

[RetroGrouch]

You ATGATT people are insane.

[Red Zeder]

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!

[speedster]

I've done a few short rides without gear and I just felt strangely vulnerable compared to normal fully-suited mode, even if like today the temp is ridiculously hot. Heat is not too big a concern, if you keep yourself properly hydrated with a CamelBack or similar.

[adri]

You ATGATT people are insane.

I was in ATGATT today for over 400 km. Toronto to Belleville to go buy a bike, and back. It was ok on the 401. I actually noticed around Brock Rd the temperature just freakishly dipped to quite cool for a while, that was nice.

The 200 km ride back home from Belleville was fine as well, up until all lanes of the 401 Westbound were blocked after the DVP, when things slowed down to a crawl is the only time I was really sweating... and by that point I was so close to home anyway *shrugs* I also ride all winter... I prefer this to -20. I'm not crazy, I'm just short on options.

[Brewer264]

Rode with full gear on, and I'll be doing it again tomorrow.

[NealT]

Full gear as well and today too. It actually helps acclimate my body to these temps, now the office is downright cold
