My new&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n&#8230;SuperSEER helmet arrived the other day.  I installed the in-helmet speakers and microphone connection for my CB radio, and the quick-release chin strap connection, and I was in business.<\/p>\n<p>I also received a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/gear\/revitwhite.html\" target=\"_blank\">Rev&#8217;IT white ATG summer riding jacket<\/a> from the spouse.  How thoughtful.  I am a full supporter of ATGATT (all-the-gear-all-the-time), so having this jacket which is lighter weight and exceptionally well-ventilated is a great choice to wear this time of year when I ride.  The weather has been brutally hot.<\/p>\n<p>I treated myself to a new pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/gear\/foxcreekoverpants.html\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Creek leather overpants<\/a>.  These are better than chaps and are designed like Langlitz Westerns, but for 1\/3 the price (Langlitz gear made in Portland, Oregon, is great, but extremely expensive. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxcreekleather.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Creek Leather<\/a> of Roanoke, Virginia, is a terrific, more affordable, alternative).  These overpants have zippers down the outseam and are designed to wear over pants like one wears chaps.  However, they have a full seat and cover the front (crotch area) and butt.  <\/p>\n<p>These overpants fit and wear much like regular leather jeans, so that is how I wear them.  With plenty of pockets, belt loops, and a zip-fly, they look and feel like the leathers I wear regularly during cool months.<\/p>\n<p>Add the requisite <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/cycle\/lugsole.html\" target=\"_blank\">lug-soled motorcycle boots<\/a> and gloves, and I&#8217;m on the road.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Roadking92.jpg?resize=584%2C451\" alt=\"Roadking92\" width=\"584\" height=\"451\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Roadking92.jpg?w=777&amp;ssl=1 777w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Roadking92.jpg?resize=300%2C232&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Roadking92.jpg?resize=150%2C116&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Roadking92.jpg?resize=768%2C593&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Roadking92.jpg?resize=389%2C300&amp;ssl=1 389w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/>Life is short:  update the gear for a safe ride!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am pleased to present updated riding gear that I received (or purchased for myself) to celebrate having healed my injuries from the motorcycle crash on 31 May and getting back on my Harley.
