steve i was debating doing that as i rarely ride too fast, risky nowadays becuase of mobile police cameras, and yes wideboy smoking is what the cool kids do but nasty habit so i'll give it a miss :)

Seven hours in full leathers on Sunday saw me arrive home on the crest of a wave of my own bodily fluid.

I was riding across the Brecon beacons on the same day in the same heat that sadly saw two army reservists lose their lives. T'was effin' hot.

Man up.

Having said that, I haven't been out in the midday heat.

Full leathers with Under Armour compression suit (helps get leathers off) if going for a long fast. Short/medium journies, Dainese summer jacket zipped to RST kevlar keans. Vented gloves and boots and wick away top and bottoms
