Unventor Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 1 hour ago, JerryR said: Let's shoot Marty for not going to the doctor after his faceplant with an injury where he can barely raise his arm. Other than that, can we move off of the gun topic? Thanks @Unventor for getting back to EUC talk. You are welcome. As a small note, my last comment on the side topic, I really don't see the point in guns...at all. That is a tool for police and army. Anyone else should not have them period imho. It worked things so much easier for all. If you hold a gun the police should be able to shoot you no questions asked...that is the consequences of holding something you shouldn't have in the first place. So back on topic again. I comming helmet Ruroc on Thursday and maybe above freezing weather day afyer Christmas day...test ride here i wusszzzh about 😀😁😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple of local people who ride with similar gear and they are always telling me that it's not hot because of all the mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those mesh-based tops look a lot hotter than they turn out to be once you are moving and you get some air circulation. Just don't wear anything underneath and you'll be fine.

The body armor will probably not be too hot, the helmet though will probably be hot as the surface of Venus in summer. I fully expect to buy a second "summer helmet" myself. Something airy like the Bell Mips 3 or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it turns out that it's been comfortable all year. So I think this should be the same. Time will tell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously @Rehab1, a weapon as a fashion statement... I'm still trying to find my eyebrows, they travelled up high enough to be mistaken for bushy and flimsy horns or something.

I think it is better for people to have a better understanding of friends that you completely disagree with. In today’s world can we still disagree and be friends? I hope so. example: I know @Scatcat is a great person. How can he feel that way about ______ ? He must have a reason. I think I will have to accept that for now until I understand his culture and situation. I think most people would absolutely be amazed at the very different lives of the people on this forum. People usually have a reason. Of coarse none of this is the responsibility of this forum to wich I am very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my sorrow, I seldom find some place where such a discussion doesn't go bonkers within the first five to ten posts. The Ad Hominem posts usually come pretty darn fast, and before you know it Godwin's law comes into effect. Start discussing guns, crime and punishment, Trump/MAGA, God/religion, birth control, taxes and welfare and you'll find the subjects combustible bordering on volatile explosives. But sure, move the gun discussion to an off topic, opt in thread, and I'm game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girth Brooks Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 @Marty Backe I am loving the new gear!! Especially that helmet! Also, not sure why so many are concerned with who's off-put by one's appearance on a wheel versus being injured themselves. You obviously made the right choice for yourself which is the only person who really counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyTop Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 That gear looks great. I hope to at least get a report if not a review on it. I tend to use EUCs on and off all day. Usually for less than 5 minutes at a time. This makes gearing up every time less convenient. When I go out for a long trip the extra gear is no problem at all. So..... I am more likely to get hurt doing mundane chores on my EUC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
