It's hot out there to be wearing a black leather jacket, black helmet and black leather gloves all while moving at less than 20MPH through rush hour.

I prefer textile in summer.

I have a mesh jacket, padded etc. It's only hot at a dead stop. Heavy gloves light gloves and a mostly black (hot) helmet. Still better to be protected, long as your not passing out.

I forget that you can't lane split in CO. I can't stand to be stuck sitting in that kind of heat. I'd rather cage it. That's not riding, that's stopping.

I used to wear textile/mesh but watched a friend go down once in full leathers. He stood, brushed himself off and kept riding. I only wear leather now. And jeans.

Pretty much the same, Kevin​.

I wear a white helmet and grey jacket. Really cuts down on heat build up over my flat black helmet and black jacket.

Ever since I've gotten what I (wrongly) believe is a "slow" bike I've gotten wicked lax with the gear. Especially when it's hot out.

Much cooler in Alpine, AZ. At lunch, we took our dirtbikes up over 9500' ASL. Good times.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
