I did something really really bad today.
I went up to the supermarket on the bike (don't call it a scooter )(less than a mile) in the village with no gloves and no jacket, pants, shirt, shoes and helmet was all i had on.
I should be thrown in jail.
At my age one just does not give a monkeys.
Have got an open face helmet in Spain, but feel more vulnerable in it.
If i wear a t-shirt, i have to make sure i tuck it in, so it doesn't ride right up my back
I've been wearing mostly full kit this time, but not on shorter trips. (Moraira to Javea)
I did buy an armoured hoodie. Bloody brilliant. Excellent for hot weather.
I always wear everything, but I had a crash on the first day I ever had a full face lid and completely wiped the front off it and the leather jacket I was wearing. Never quite forgotten standing up afterwards and realising I was wearing rags. My boots were good though
I've had a really nice Heine Gerike mesh jacket for the last 13 years and it's heaven on a hot day. This year it no longer fits, (although the trousers are strangely fitting nicely). I have been very hot, waiting at traffic lights. Mesh gloves are still good though
