Lorelai comes home (new 2018 NC750x)

Thanks for that. I've got Oxfords sitting in the big box, waiting to be installed. They should certainly help.

I saw Hippo Hands just came out with some new designs. Nice to see progress Hippo Hands

If I need more than the Alpinestars Corozal gloves, I'll give these a look!

Gloves. Ugh.

Stopped at the Honda dealer for chain lube. They had Scorpion EXO gloves. Tried on a few pair of 2XLs, and the thumbs felt tight. My wife suggested thumb reduction surgery.

In an act of purist optimism, I went to order another pair of Reax Superfly, this time in a 2XL. Out of stock on Revzilla. I didn't bother looking anywhere else, just ordered the Dianese Carbon 3 Short in XL, because sizing chart.

In other news, wore the Joe Rocket Honda jacket today, temp in the 60s, with just a fleece vest underneath (besides the shirts). Worked well. I'm beginning to wonder if I need separate gear for each 10* difference. Kidding! Just a matter of figuring out the layering.

Not sure you can get away with it for every 10 degrees. But if you start talking to her now you might be able to convince your wife you need a new jacket for every 15 degree swing

I've been pulling the safety card, but she knows my penchant for jackets...

I have 3. And I'm always looking for another!
