You're an idiot. You can get gear that flows well and then stay hydrated. I've had no issues in high heat, high humidity days. I keep a small lunchbox with those reusable ice packs and some gatorades and some waters in it.
If you can't handle the heat don't ride.

how much perforation do your leathers have? I'm not the fittest bloke but had no trouble on a 38 c day wearing the full suit, just had to drink a lot of water.

Wear one of those free-flowing sports shirts underneath it and the wind will come through fine.

Helmets suck.
But they are so comfy. It's so quiet in a helmet. The bugs don't get in face and get destroyed by a screen. It's like a force field against bugs.

Sure, if I don't have leathers on I can't point my knee and lower half out and it messes with your body position.

The moment I got leathers and wasn't afraid of banging my kevlar jeans on road reflectors anymore my body position kind of just snapped into place, still working on fixing it up obviously. (I'm gonna try and get into the elbow connected to knee thing most racers do) but it helps a lot and it immediately makes sense why people started sticking their knees out in the first place.

No leathers are not as comfortable as riding without them, they never will be but for any spirited riding I'd like to have them even if I wasn't scraping because I mean, you don't decide when to crash.

Bikes for short motherfuckers? I have about a 28" inseam. The only bike I've been on is my uncle's Vulcan 1500, and I have difficulty mounting and dismounting it. Looking for a cruiser or standard that I can slap saddlebags on and use for commuting. Some highway use.

oh my bad, the full one piece thing was just because I found 2 pieces in my budgetary range rather uncomfortable and I had been advised by some people in the know that one piece is the way to go.

That suit came up for like 350 dollars off at the local brick and mortar so I just jumped on it.

I will say it's a little bit inconvenient when you're stopping for a drink to do the "one piece dance" and get the top half off while you're sitting but I really didn't like the zipper seams to connect the lowers the uppers on the 2 pieces.

After 5 years of riding in a leather jacket.

I said fuck it, and bought a mesh jacket with armor in it.

If I crash, it's gonna be on gravel in a corner at low speed, or getting rear ended at a stop light. I'll take the risk.

I have body armor and a jersey for dirt riding now.

Just came back from a night ride.

Pretty sure I'm on the terror watch list now. I was exploring the roads near the army base and airport and ended up taking a bunch of roads that led into the base. Pulled a u-turn just before the guard shack each time then got on the road that runs behind the airport.

Sidenote: anyone else psyc themselves out going into a curve by glancing down at the speedometer an suddenly think you are going too fast for the curve? If I don't look down I seem to have a shit-ton more confidence with the curve.

I know. That engine is known as the RFS or Racing Four Stroke and was used up until 2007.

>pigfat, but they have this weird gyroscope thing going for them, easiest bike to balance while sitting still on.
I don't get how though. The crank and gears all still rotate in the same direction. It's just the piston oscillating horizontally instead of vertically. How does that make it easier to balance?

You are both shitlords lets be honest, Alloy framed bikes snap below the fuel tank, steel framed bikes snap the triple clamps because its high speed steel vs alloy, its not rocket science.
as far as snapping bikes goes in the first place it takes a hell of a lot to actually do it,

likely more than just the triple clamps that are going to be fucked if you stacked hard enough to snap the bike.
