But do you remember to clip in? I seem to have a big problem with that! (despite a number of zip tie reminders)

Generally I remember to clip in but I do forget. Luckily my K1600 is rock solid stable so I just put it in cruise and then I can use both hands to clip in!

don't tempt me lolBe careful here. If you buy one you'll never want to go back to anything else. I've got a 48R, gray with red ballistics for sale if you want one with instant "street cred".I've only ever used one-piece suits so as not to tempt myself to leave the pants behind and ride with the top and jeans for instance. Also, there's no way a one-piece will open around the waste (jacket riding up or pants riding down) in the event of an incident. The two-piece suits are just as good as long as you make sure to keep them zipped together, but a little more involved to don and doff. I figured, might as well get the one-piece.
Yes you need a Stitch.... I purchased a R3 at the beginning of spring and I absolutely am in love with it. I put it on over my work cloths, zip it up and head down the road. I have wore it at 33 degrees and at 107 degrees. jeans and a sweat shirt under it when cold and just shorts and a tee shirt when hot. I find myself putting it on and ATGATT. before the suit it was a coat and boots and gloves. I did not like pulling over pants on all the time. The Stitch is so easy on and off I have no hesitancy to put it on. It works well in the rain, hot temps are bearable while moving as it vents very well. Stop and go traffic in the heat above 85-90 isn't a pleasure but doable. Little kids will ask if your a space man, Grocery clerks will ask if your a fighter pilot and your friends will... well, just make fun of you in general.
