    I'm just wondering if anyone has taken the winter lining out of their jackets/ pants yet? I haven't dared because I haven't felt too warm on the bike at all this year. I stopped using my winter gloves last week and changed to my standard pair, considering changing back already, my fingers are numb(ish) by the time I get to work.

    Anyone braved it yet?

    Only got back on the bike about 2 months ago after a couple of months break! The lining was already out of my leathers and I never bothered putting it in. Driving to work every day 80km round trip and never really felt the cold.I just throw a t shirt and another top on under the leathers and thats usually enough. Having said that I do always wear a balaclava and I think this helps alot. I wear the same gloves all year round ( Goretex) for the reason Wonda stated about the for seasons in one day.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I do go around with standard leathers on all the time with the rain gear in the Kriega pack, only stop and stick the rain gear on if its hammering down and the sky is totally grey so I knew it wont stop.

    Not with all this rain. Proper leathers and anti-mist spray for the visor and away you go.

    Lining out this week, and some new normal gloves for the last 3 weeks.

    Although to be fair my jacket is a 3 season jacket so is warm and waterproof even without the lining, so perfect for Irish weather almost all year around apart from the 2.5 days of summer.

    I have the vented summer jacket and gloves on standby! :P
