The root is a bit of a story, but no doubt one day we will meet and you can ask, though you may already know someone who knows the story.

I think thats probably right. but its still a pain in the arse. wearing one piece leathers road riding is a pain in the arse in my experience. Fine when you're actually riding but horrible pretty much everywhere else. horrible to walk in, horrible to sit in a cafe in, usually no place to put a freakin' wallet even. Plus whenever I wear my one piece road riding, it encourages me to ride like a fuckwit.
Two piece leather suit, and two piece light rain over suit is the answer I reckon, but the essence of the gear question is compromise: how much safety or perceived safety are you prepared to compromise for convenience?
getting back to the OP's original point, whatever she buys will likely be better than what she's wearing now.
How many times have we seen (or been) fuckwits riding with full kit on, proper boots and gloves and stuff, and perched on the pillion pad is some poor girl in an ill fitting helmet (probably his "spare" one) a ski jacket, skintight jeans, no gloves and high fucking heels?
That to me is appalling.

"channellling the Pleideans"
the only one I've ever seen that looks reasonable is http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-suits/roadcrafter/roadcrafter-one-piece-suit.html[/url] one. step one leg in, zip from ankle to shoulder, done.
not cheap but.
Ive still got in the cupboard of "stuff I may never use but dont want to throw away because it cost good money and isnt that what your dad fought in the war for" one of those Line 7 suits from the early 80's. a one piece PVC overall, with zips up the back of the shoulders. Idea was no cold front because the zip is out of the windblast.
except you have to be a freakin' contortionist to get the zips done up, and the velcro flaps in place.
and you sweat like a sweaty person in it.

My two piece wet weather stuff is not good on my cruiser because of the way the air is deflected around the windshield. Last time it rained, I put the overpants on, bike jacket over the top and then overjacket over that. Two hours later I had a toilet stop and found the rainwater had been forced up the outside of my overpants and under my bike jacket - my t shirt and the inside of my jacket was sopping wet. I would have been drier if I'd not bothered with the wet weather gear!
Not interested in a one piece suit, would take too long to get off if the need to pee was urgent! I'll just suck it up and get wet
Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield

It is actually surprising how quickly you can get one of those suits on and off.Not interested in a one piece suit, would take too long to get off if the need to pee was urgent! I'll just suck it up and get wet
Especially if you get one that zips quite a long way down diagonally.
