OK, what the hell do people wear in temperatures like this?
#27
Alpinestars side-vented leather jacket
Alpinestars leather jeans
Sidi waterproof boots
Vented Alpinestars summer gloves (made the mistake of buying a cheap Alpinestars pair with suede/felt type fingers which soon wore through)
Freeby Shoei lid

I bought all this gear with the FZ1 in the hot summer of 2006. I've always found that I'm oblivious to the heat when I'm on the move (apart from my thighs getting toasted by the engine). It's when stopped, or when changing out of the gear at work that it becomes uncomfortable.

I remember that 2006 summer, bimbling around on the FZ1 and getting used to it's character. I got caught in a major traffic jam on narrow roads with absolutely no opportunity for filtering. I was stuck. At that moment, the heavens opened and I was deluged with torrential rain and hailstones.

The novelty of rivers of cold rain flowing down the insides of the vented jacket and to my crotch remain with me to this day lol

Christmas present for me this year will be renewing all my gear.
