    I have actually ridden to church wearing a 2 piece leather race suit, gauntlets, race boots etc. Might as well go straight for ride afterwards instead of going home to change first. The Lord does not judge, although Susan from the parish council sure did.

    I wear an evs compression shirt in the Texas heat. The hard armor isn’t “made for abrasion resistance” but... it works. I put a shirt over it so I don’t look full insane. End up kinda looking like a hockey player. But it keeps me from having a heat stroke. Also the back protector holds a drinking pack!

    Ryan I have an idea for a new video series: A series where you test an old-school motorcycle vs its modern counterpart. Examples could be:
    Old dual sport vs new dual sport (like the old DRZ and KLR 650 vs the most trending modern bikes in those categories). It could also be old Supersports vs new ones, or old Naked bikes vs new etc.
    I am personally very reserved when it comes to buying new bikes, since purchase is sky high like an expensive night out, and then depreciation hits you like a bad hangover. Furthermore, I often find myself struggling with finding the increasing appeal of many modern bikes, relative to what they offer over older generations in regards to pure bike-for-money factor. I'd never get a new 600 over a bike from 2-3 generations ago. Prices are ever increasing, but is technology and development following suit? I'd love to see your take on this topic!

      I have the A-stars airbag vest that zips into your jacket. It kills the airflow because it's basically a plastic bubble around you, but I do feel safer in it having read people's experiences online. I don't wear it when riding locally at inner-city speeds on hot days, but if the temperature is low, it's a nice safety + insulation layer.

      While black soaks heat worse than lighter colors, it also radiates it better. Hence, Lockheed painted the SR71 black and a lot of people keep painting their car radiators - although the second doesn't really have that great of an effect, as car coolers cool through convection, not radiation.

It let's you unzip the bottom half of the leg, so when you arrive, you're basically just wearing normal cargo shorts. It's comfy on the bike too, and it has Kevlar on knees and bottom, as well as armor pockets, which I filled with Seesmart.

    Thanks for your work. And, please don‘t stop! I am always hooked in your channel when I have enough of all the other clips about bikes on YT.

    Hey hey! great and informative video as always Ryan. Will check those Scorpion jeans, they look awesome and you convinced me with the kevlar point.
    That said I would add something to your open helmet advice... if anyone wants to ride an open helmet with no visor, chances are that you can collect bees and hornets in your rides...and from my own experiences, it makes the ride quite interesting in the wrong way :P I have suffered this issue (and the collateral stings) 3 times (2 in Spain, 1 in Australia). One of them inside my jacket when the bee got in through the space between my neck and the jacket all the way to my clavicle, the other two inside my helmet which, in both cases, the bee managed to crawl all the way to my ear using my sunnies. I love to ride with the visor up but...even with glasses, take into account that it brings some risks.
    Ride safe!

    That Icon riding shirt is crap. It doesn’t matter if there is Kevlar in spots that matter.

Wearing an outside layer is a must with that shirt and you better make sure that outside layer isn’t just a jersey

    • @vicwiseman6038
      @vicwiseman6038 4 роки тому

      Armor tops are only as good as the material and stitch work holding the armor together. The issue is that on the street, pavement tends to pull and tear the layer in the opposite direction that you are going. Armor is only good for initial impact and even then it can move and expose your body to unwanted forces. The best solution is a well fitted jacket that uses mesh in specific areas to keep you cool but doesn’t compromise in areas that take the most tearing force and keeps the armor in position on initial impact.
