As I was riding, I found that I was getting uncomfortably hot while wearing my thick leather vest over my t-shirt.  I had to ditch the vest or sweat to death.  (I tend to sweat a great deal when even slightly overheated.)<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:verdana;\"><br \/><\/span><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/SESDV8ArCjI\/AAAAAAAAAQo\/DLcyHXuF1hA\/s1600-h\/Tshirt.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 214px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/SESDV8ArCjI\/AAAAAAAAAQo\/DLcyHXuF1hA\/s320\/Tshirt.jpg?w=584\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207431482056575538\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-family:verdana;\">Hmmm&#8230; I wonder&#8230; now that I have this windscreen, I may have to ride &#8220;leather-less&#8221; when it&#8217;s warm out.  I am as comfortable in leather as my own skin.  I have always worn some leather while riding my old bike.  I guess this is another adjustment I will need to make.  Well, perhaps just wear the vest and no shirt.  That would be a hoot.  But for now, I guess I&#8217;ll just be well-booted and wear a t-shirt.  No gloves, either.  They make me sweat like crazy, which is a clammy feeling I detest.  I&#8217;ll just have to be extra careful and be comfortable.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My new Harley Road King comes with a rather large windscreen.
