    My polar fleece neck warmer
    It dosen't wick water inside my jacket like the oxford one does used it on two Cold Kiwi's now with an open face. The rain just sits on the fleece. Brought a new fang dangled oxford chill out neck warmer great in the dry but in the wet the water just runs down the material and pools on the top of my fat gut. Not a nice feeling.

    Sorry. Only 1 issued to every bloke (well OK most blokes).

    I see a nice set of curves and it just inflates. Not sure how or even why but it sure is a nice bit of kit!

    Ummmm try prying little bits of plastic and metal out of your hand, after an off at 100ks. But a good set of gloves with decent snow seal etc keeps my hands nice an dry

    So you STAY with your bike on the way down???

    I get as far away from the thing as I can. I reckon a good set of "barkbusters" is a great idea. They wouldn't be that hard to engineer and style, they'd only have to be a couple of inches wide to avoid most of the rain.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I went all out when I bought my new gear, Sidi Race Vert boots, Alpinestar 2 pce GPU II suit, Alpstar GP Plus gloves and Arai helmet. All up replacement value of just over $4k but worth every cent for comfort, protection, and yeah definately style.

    Got to agree with you there. And I reckon they could be made to look good. Fallen off twice- both low sides, both times I had let go and was seperated from the bike before it hit the ground (got mowed down once- that was more of a 'forced ejection' )

    Forgot to add sunlight liquid- smear a small drop on inside of visor to stop it fogging. I had a fog city, but it was too easily scratched, plus it caused ghosting with car headlights.

    Arrow My Spyke jacket.

    Scored it during winter for $340 after the lady at the MC shop stuffed up the quote as it was supposed to be half price on promotion. Now I see the same jackets for sale now at around the $800 mark.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    I just got this suit in black and silver since friday and have been out for 1 ride today. Now I know why its like a monkey suit...

    But its great, very nice soft leather. Fits well and fits even better in riding position. I also find that I feel closer to the bike than wearing textiles.

    The other good point is also I can now side to either side of the bike to position for cornering, where as previously condura's don't slide that well over the tank.

    Dunno Dave, but I figure he came after the sexaider that designed bungies.
