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.

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.

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
