Now all I need is some nice weather. Note: The ZXer stays inside the garage, warm & cozy, during icey weather.

Great to see a forum member that rides in a one piece suite on the street!
The culture here seems to be more "how heavy are those boots?" and "how uncomfortable is this suite?".
Nothing gets to me more than the "jeans and sneakers" riding outfit like the pimpled teenage squids on the gixxer forums. We put frame sliders, swingarm sliders, case savers, axle sliders on these bikes and then head out in a t-shirt for a ride.
I'll post a few pics of my suite after the highside with the gsxr,
I would have sustained serios injuries without it for sure.

Hey, Mass! It was kinda cold that day so I'm wearing a fleece balaclava. Wasn't too bad. I have a heated vest but I haven't quite figured out how to plug in the controller THRU the suit yet.....
Anyway, until I bought the suit, I rode with two-piece leathers (Alpinestars Black Label stuff). I really like the suit (it fits pretty tight)... it's definitely noticeable in traffic. Yea, I look like a Star Wars character, but that's OK. I do ride a bit aggressive on the back roads. I removed the pucks because I'm not THAT aggressive.
