Bikers' Banter

Been out on the bike a few times this week to see customers but have to admit to wearing Tee shirt and Shorts as it's way too hot to Dress up.

Good for you.

Helmet & gloves. Anything else is your choice.

I cringe when Ed doesn’t put his gloves on.

Mind you, motorway speeds in a vest top are very interesting on the arm muscles, as you feel them trying to peel away from your bones!

Ha..... I hate it when my shirt lifts up and flaps around in the Wind...... Most of my trips have been very local, 5 minutes riding and an hour stood in a customers Kitchen so no way I'm dressing in all the Gear..... it would be like riding a Pushbike, just helmet and gloves.

I crashed in the rain at Blackhawk Farms and the only parts of my gear that did not get scuffed up were my gloves and my helmet.

I have ridden several 500+ mile days in full gear when the temperature exceeded 90°F (32°C) and relative humidity above 70%.
