I'm hoping the insurance will pay for them.

Oh! They're ice! I've seen things like this.

When I was putting it on I was thinking this is really heavy, but once on I didn't even notice it. It is going to be interesting to explore its potential.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-4516521521942179342011-07-23T08:52:10.538-05:002011-07-23T08:52:10.538-05:00Dar,

Enjoy your great temperatures!

If they do, then a 30 min break very couple of hours and I'd be good for another couple of hours. We'll see. That and the cooling packs aren't that large. One might pack a small cooler with ice to keep a second pair of packs ready to replace. There are lots of possibilities to explore. Of course, I'm hoping for a break in the heat so that I don't have to :)<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-87614556814334271092011-07-23T08:41:32.280-05:002011-07-23T08:41:32.280-05:00Roger,

On the one hand I'm amazed at the folks who ride nearly naked thinking it will keep them cooler, but on the other hand it often appears sanity when it comes to safety is in short supply among the motorcycle community.<br /><br />Oh well, I know one of the big reasons I came out so well in my encounter with the car was the safety gear I was wearing. Riding when it is really hot isn't comfortable, but it can be safe.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words about my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.<br />~keithKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-7887812452794037252011-07-23T01:51:59.502-05:002011-07-23T01:51:59.502-05:00Glad to hear you are already back on the bike.

However I would have loved to have had this handy when traveling Interior Washington and Oregon last year...<br />Not sure I like the additional weight though.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-60088257693932837112011-07-22T21:12:33.233-05:002011-07-22T21:12:33.233-05:00Good to hear you are back to riding and have been ...Good to hear you are back to riding and have been given the ok to get back to activity. Cooling gear is neat, we don't get that hot here. We we in the low 20s celcius today, but lots of sunshine - no complaint here. Nice pictures of the park.

Stayed cool for quite a while. You might have the space on Billie for that when the ice melts. :)<br /><br />Glad to hear you have been cleared. I can't believe you fared so well. But am mightily happy that you did.<br /><br />-LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-79361798067008031262011-07-22T19:55:16.847-05:002011-07-22T19:55:16.847-05:00Interesteing mate, havernt seen these things befor...Interesteing mate, havernt seen these things before, I was gutted to read of your"off", abd the bike falling over, good see you are on the mend. <br /><br />We dont get the sought of tempertures here that you get, but it can still be pretty uncomfortable at times.
