Default dude, in Malaysia, you wear your jacket backwards...

just check out what those Mat Rempits wear for recommended gear.

btw, what bike are you getting?

Default Looking at an Aprilia RS125

but no green light from parents yet. I'm afraid they'd burn it down if I bought one home. Still a mama's boy here.

Btw, the S3 is not out yet, this is taking forever!!

Default I hear you...

the Asian folks will always worry about their children riding motorcycles.
Fortunately, I got my thrills with a Honda F4i for a few years before returning.
Wouldn't think about getting one here cause its pretty expensive.

sorry to hear about your S3 taking ages to clear customs... what mode of transportation do you have now? taxi?

Default Where are you? That bike isn't street legal in the US...but I still really want one : )

It really would be a lot of fun.

Driving the old a4 around. With all the rain recently, it's a much nicer place to be than on a bike.

Default Oh...yikes. You can ride that thing on the street with no problem?

That's seriously awesome if you can.

In the summer, it's hot & humid here. Until you get out in the open, traffic can be tough too.
I ride with a FirstGear mesh jacket, silver to not absorb as much solar heat as black, & their mesh overpants.
Typically, I'll be wearing shorts or a bathing suit & a loose cotton tee shirt underneath.
That way, when I get where I'm going, I can take off the mesh gear & be comfortable.
Hope it helps.
