I had a thick leather jacket (before I got the full body protective gear), and I remember at around 90mph and above, grasshoppers felt like bricks 😣. Don't want to imagine what they would have felt like without the heavy leather on..

I wore an Aerostitch Roadcrafter suit. Pricey but fantastic. My co-workers called me “Right Stuff” because I looked like an astronaut walking across the parking lot with my helmet under my arm.

I eventually quit riding when I felt like the bike was getting ahead of me (Ducati Monster). Bought a Honda S2000, about the same amount of fun but a lot more comfy.

Riding through the orchards in the San Joaquin during pollinating season was always fun. At least a hundred honey bee strikes an one our two in your helmet for good measure.
