Right, I'm riding all day Sunday 10-4. Weather is up to 7 deg, rain. DAS final day!


Consists of a 60mph stretch for 10 mins. Then mainly around town doing 4 or 5 test routes, so will be doing u turns, and 20-40mph (maybe the occasional 60 for a minute or two). Then at 3:30ish head back, again 10 mins.


On top I have a textile jacket and thermal liner, but just to be sure I'll put a base layer underneath rather than t shirt.

Have neck warmer


My questions are:


1. I have textile trousers which are fcuking hot with liner. Do I remove this or am I likely to get cold

2. I have RST summer gloves, and sliky inner gloves, are these likely to be warm enough or do I use the old winter ones (where I can't use controls properly)


If I was doing a day at 60mph then I'd def go for warm ptions, but as it's only slow speed I wonder if it's needed. Last time it didn't rain and I was sweating!


What would you do?


Cheers

Leave the liners in your trousers and i would have at least jeans on underneath and under jacket layers upon layers mate sat will be well cold gloves winter only and even then you might want some gloves under them as well#

I'm on a 125cc with all the stuff you've said and I'm getting cold. Is there any reason why you can't take a bag with you with extras in or somewhere to stuff layers you don't want on anymore? Are you not able to signal a stop and pull over safely, let them know you need to add a layer and then carry on? I'd rather be too hot than too cold though.
