+1 for full helmet -- feet are expendable. You can get 6" platform prosthetics on Amazon.

Like those leather vests? Really don't know what good that would do...

A Harley owner I know suggested some bar end weights for my K75's vibration issue  :falldown:

I've just ridden 30 miles home in some of the best weather Northern Ireland has seen for a long time. On the way I met 3 other bikers. One was on a custom bike in a singlet vest and open face helmet and another was on a sports bike with a full face helmet but in jeans and a singlet vest. The third biker, like myself, was in full protective gear and, if he's anything like me, the sweat was probably running out of him!! I know it's nice to feel cool on a bike and I suppose it's nice to look cool too but no harm to the guys, there won't be a chance to get anything between your skin and the road when the time comes!

This is what folk in the UK think of when you mention a "tank top"

Someone on here once quoted: Ride for the wreck not the weather. My buddy gave me a summer jacket with armor that has removable sleeves, took them off once this hot summer and my brain made me add 2 minutes to my favorite 17 miles of twisties

It's all ok - I found one of these JTS summer mesh jackets in superb condition going for a song on EBay so I bought it! It's superb and I've had no excessive sweat problems since, despite some great weather.

My commute is 2 miles. It was 70f this morning 89f on the ride home with bazillion percent humidity Ware shorts, mesh jacket and full face helmet. Lol.

If I was going to get on the hwy or drive much farther I'd put my riding pants on. They as well as proper boots are in my saddle bag.
