Motorcycling Cosplay.

categories:

As I was suiting up in about 10lbs of gear on a 90 degree day, it occurred to me that some of the motorcycling game must be the cosplay. I don’t mean that in the fetishy way of the furries, merely that practitioners of MOTGATT must have some wiring that motivates one to wear more stuff than -20°F would warrant.

I tried to express this to M, and pretty much proved my inability to speak & think at the same time, even though like all of us, I actually do my thinking out loud. (A painfully learned lesson, let me tell you.) So let’s me ramble on this theme, see where we get. My approach to gear has been experience is the only thing that protects a rider, and until that’s learned, one can buy a tiny fraction of that with investing in the gear and actually wearing it. And that last part is the continual thing, like payments. Inspiration doesn’t hit me here, it’s probably a continual process of realization and not an epiphany.
