Verm, how hot is the 1-pc? Not that I'm planning on getting one, because I sweat when I look out a window (Florida humidity, after all), but I'm just wondering what kind of pain it is to wear those for an extended period of time.. If it isn't below 60 degrees, I wear my mesh Joe Rocket jacket... heh
i dunno, but i do know it's not enough to protect you from cold in the snow.
but i'll find out this spring and summer how hot it is.
for a start, why would you bother puttin your knee down, you

life's too short wrote:I agree. Are you trying to look "too cool" riding with your outfit or are you about riding your machine?
both? i guess.
that's why im trying to improve my skills. as i improve, my looks will improve too.
and regarding tinted at night, i do switch it sometimes.
but like i said before...
night riding + tinted + my bike's awesome lights = GOOD visibility
night riding + clear + my bike's awesome lights = BETTER visibility
my point is, tinted at night for me isn't bad. clear is just better. maybe it has to do w/ my bike's great headlights.
sev always ride tinted, my riding buddy always ride tinted, and im sure many others ride w/ tinted at night as well.

there's a checkpoint where we stopped... check the topic "it's so cold" i made in total moto forum.
anyway... i wanna go back there when it's sunny. that canyon road is so much more fun than mulholland viewpoint.

ok... and

i forgot you were the 1st one to reply in that post.
yeah, i bet there'll be a lot of agressive riders and drivers there this spring and summer.
i actually saw 2 riders (did the complimentary biker wave) coming down from angeles crest... they might have thought... "is this idiot really gonna go there when it's hailing and snowing?"
