In the rare event the keg goes dry unplanned then the only toher option is bottles cuz cans are nasty. And good beer does not come in anthing bigger then a 12 pack. normally its a sixer of something good, not Budweiser, coors and all that garbage. If its a 6'r its normally Fat Tire or at least Pacifico or something decent. Bad beer is a waste of money.. if u want it to taste bad then drink shots of cheap stuff... faster and cheaper. But a Keg of GOOD beer is cheaper then the equal amounts of Budweiser or Coors. a keg is just about 3.5 cents an ounce... thats 40cents a can... even buttweiser isnt that cheap and it doesnt even taste good.... one 16 gallon keg lasts about 3 weeks or so at my house.. so with my share thats 17.5 a month for all the beer i want..... cant do that on 30 packs. Get a old fridge that works... buy a Kegerator kit, install it with a good thermostat and enjoy REAL beer.

if you want a good protector that u cna wear alone or under your leathers check out 661's stuff they only have 2 suits really that u could use on street, and one would be under only as its short sleeve protector but they have one pressure suit thats NICE, i got to see there stuff at the Reno Motorsports here and the quality is GREAT. Back protector is very sturdy too, yet flexible forward so its comfy still.

I wear full gear. I'm probably going to buy either some draggin jeans or some under armour so I can forego the leather pants while just cruising around town. But I HATE to just cruise around town anyway, I'd rather go RIDE. :lol:
Saw a squid yesterday wearing shorts, t-shirt and tennis shoes. No lid, either.

I have a Joe Rocket jacket and a HJC helmet. Because I used/will be using my bike for to/from work and to/from school I don't really do much as far as protection for my legs. I will wear jeans if I can but a lot of the times its just plain khaki paints. I will not lie, I wear plain tenise shoes and dress shoes for work. I have ridden with only shorts more times than I can count. I guess the way I thought about it was that it's during the summer (humidity is crazy) and the temperature, down here in south florida, can get real extreme in city riding. If I'm wearing khaki's how much more protection could they really offer compared to shorts.. :lol:
Sometimes I've unzipped my jacket all the way or at least partially to let some good air in so I don't sweat to death. I can't get to work and smell like absolute [email protected]
Heat and ability to show up to an office setting (possibly wearing a suit) will become a problem coming into the summer when I graduate and get a "real" job, rather than bartending.
Any recommendations on what I should get? I road like this for almost 4 years, without a car, practically every day (sun, rain, winter, summer)... I actually road within 1/2 mile from a tornado touching down one day, boy talk about riding at a 45 degree angle but still going straight.. By the way I don't mind riding in the rain much at all.. I just need to find something that's easy and will keep my legs and some other areas from getting soaked on my way to work. Florida weather can be deceiving, sunny and then a downpour, but you can usually ride through it within a few minutes. I actually go faster sometimes just to make it through quicker, with the funny tourists pulling off under the bridges and i'm clearing the rain within a few miles.. :lol:
