Do you have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it is to pack a cool/cold riding jacket and hot riding jacket for a commute!?Oh yeah, those days are not very far behind me. Although commuting to downtown LA it would be in the mid 80s by 7:15AM on a good day and you'd have to chew the air. Splitting through gridlock was fun.Jacket switching! Such horrible torture!

I had it with about 6 inches cut out and no baffles and it would harmonize with my buddy 06 with 2 bros on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
