I rode out the other day wearing an open face helmet, my old leather jacket with no armour, jeans and Bullson Manx boots along with Hein Gericke summer gloves.Taking things easy of course but what a revelation. The wind in your face makes you realise how fast you are going and also I felt much more relaxed in the hot weather than wearing a full face helmet and leathers.
You know when I was a lad, before compulsory helmet legislation I would have considered myself adequately attired to enter the Isle of Man TT!
