It is just plain hot and uncomfortable. When I only wear a tshirt I don't sweat at all, even at 95+ degrees... I don't give a damn how many holes the mesh has in it, no holes is still more air hitting my body and drawing heat from it while moving. I thought you lived in Philly... if it is anything like NJ with the heat, I still say you are on crack

dude,, you keep missing the point. yes, i live in Philly. yes it is humid there. Yes, it sucks weaing jackets there. I was talking about non humid heat, like i was experiencing in Kansas.

Cool. Then wear it. I consider it a responsibility to my family to not ride a motorcycle, but you can see how that's working out.

That goes for alot all of us...

I'm not about to call anyone irresponsible for not wearing gear, when in reality were all risking it all by the mere fact that we ride motorcycles. When it's your time, it's your time...gear or not. Gear is not going to save you from snaping your neck when you land on the ground because you flew off your bike, or from blunt trauma to your torso.

My motto is: sweat or regret.

I'd rather sweat than not wear my gear.

Did they make out okay?
