well lets, see, it was night, probably -5 degrees, and I'm out in my new perforated leathers! you bet it was worth it. I've got to say it does feel quite a bit different, the first 5-10 minutes my feet felt like flippers as I was trying to shift, and the gloves felt a little clumsy at first. The suits a little tight, a little less mobility than I'm used to and almost restricts breathing in a tuck but I think it will pack out. Anyway great feeling but definatly will take a little getting used to. Bring on the warm weather baby!

I tried cramming some long underwear under the leather, but I dont have rain gear yet so that was it. The worst part was my hands. At one point I had to actaully pull over and warm them up. I thought my fingers were gonna just snap off I've got about 360km now. And the next moderatly warm spell I'll put a couple hundred more I'm sure. I'm still considering that little strip to make the suit a little longer, but I'll wait and see how it stretches out. Thanks for the leather tip, I'll go find some protectorent this weekend.

yeah, IF I did it I would have to find some way to make it super tough. Its all a little stiff which is to be expected but when I'm on the bike it pulls down and puts a little pressure on my upper chest, making a little hard to breath almost. Though I was wearing some warm clothes under. I'm sure it will be fine, I'm just thinking of ways to fix it should it still bother me in a month or so, because the jacket and pants fit perfect, its just when there together that makes them tight.
