Dear Friends
What inexpensive suit or jacket and pants should I wear this summer in the hot and humid state of Georgia? It's a real sweatbox down here from June through August, and from May through September during midday. Keep in mind that I can't wear standard sizes. I'm six feet tall, weigh 260 pounds, have a thirty-one-inch inseam, and a big ass and thighs.
I strongly prefer something that isn't leather. I hate to think that an innocent animal had to die for me to enjoy my toys. (I don't want to start a debate. If you like leather, more power to you for not being a wuss!)
Without your recommendation, I'd probably ride (carefully) in a T-shirt and shorts.
Some say they'd rather sweat than bleed. Good for some, but if my hobby requires me to sweat or bleed, it's not going to be my hobby for long. I'm looking for a reasonable compromise.
I don't own a single pair of jeans. My father-in-law says I should get some. I don't own jeans because I never found a pair that'd fit my huge thighs.
I plan on getting some Icon Super Duty 3 boots, some Fieldsheer Mach 6 mesh gloves, and a cheap rainsuit (for emergencies). I'd keep on riding in my New Balance walking shoes, but rocks and other debris keep finding their way in there, forcing me to empty both shoes every time I stop. I'm presently using US$0.99 Wal-Mart cotton gloves.
My neighbor, who's a certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructor, heartily recommends Aerostich motorcycle apparel. I believe the cheapest jacket-and-pant combo I could get from Aerostich would cost around US$750, and that's way, way out of my price range.
It's a good thing that I went ahead and bought the 'Busa on impulse. If I'd figured these additional expenses, I would have backed off.
Thanks for any suggestions you may offer.
