You need to wear your back protector on the outside of your hoodie to really fit in. 

That's cool. It is colder in SF than here.

I typically just wear my back protector outside of my Affliction t-shirt.

I hope you show up.


I'd love to take your M900 with the 944 kit around the block.

I want to swap my 750 motor with a 900 with the 944 kit added.

If you weigh more than 73 lbs, her suspension is gonna feel soft.  Actually, 'belle's bike is pretty well sorted, particularly for a vehicle produced the same year as "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base.

I went for a ride tonight, it was 56 degrees.


Is that what I should be expecting Sunday morning? I have seen the weather report and it is around there, however, from what I have read and talked to people, it drastically changes upon area.


Therefore, how do you guys dress for rides?

Full leathers, with layers underneath is the usual for me.

But seriously: bring whatever you're comfortable with. The more vents the better, because it does warm up. And if you're under-equipped we can usually find something for ya.

For the first bit of Sunday morning, yes.  It does change drastically from the City to Marin and from the hills to the coast.  

I generally wear a perforated leather one piece for this time of year.  If it's cold in the morning leaving SF, I either wear a windproof vest underneath or a rainjacket over or just tough it out for the first bit.  This time of year, I tend to shed that extra layer by the time we're across the Golden Gate and before we even begin our ride.

I've got plenty of midget-sized gear (38-40 chest).  I can throw an under-jacket fleece from my Aerostich in my backpack and bring that along for if you get cold.

I will be bringing my Alpinestars Stunt jacket. I can wear enough underneath that to keep my upper warm.

Alpinestars textile pants. Can't think of the model, they are upstairs, so I can look later and post tomorrow.

I will carry a small backpack with some additional warm gear.

Tried to procure some Alpinestars leather pants this weekend, but I guess everyone in Ohio is fat and they don't sell size 32 (US) two piece pants......

damn you guys for having a Dianese store.

however......

I am loyal to to Alpinestars

Well, I was thinking of flaking, but perhaps I can come out for an abbreviated version of the ride and ditch you guys a bit early.  I'll let you girls go back to the city and drink foofie umbrella beverages and try on each others leathers without me.  You can take my bike out while we're on the ride if you want.  If we're doing the normal N. Bay route then we can switch up at Pt. Reyes or there-abouts.  Or you can just cruise it up and down the street at Tam-bux.  I enforce a strict you broke it you bought it policy...so make sure you have an extra Jackson in your pocket before we strafe the canyons.
