Exposed, leg, knee, whatever his gear should fit properly really.

But to be fair, he most probably rides a pushbike quicker in shorts and a t shirt, like we all did when growing up. Will have more chance of hurting himself doing that than mini moto racing in controlled conditions.

Fair play to the lad!
 
Try finding leathers that are ok lengthwise, but are not baggy. Its nearly impossible, unless you're a midget... :(

He has a full face helmet, racing gloves, leathers and protective boots that go just over the ankle. That little bike isn't a speed demon, what he's wearing is plenty protection.
 
Those are comically small and the visor is up. I’m guessing he’s an aspiring pirate ;)
 
Bit chilly on the hands this morning, might have to buy the heated gloves soon... I have no heated grips on the VFR.

Also my VFR has recently started resetting the dash (clock/trips) when starting it, it never fails to start but it's annoying having to reset the clock every few days. It did it this morning just as I turned it on before starting it! Sign of a dying battery? I'll start putting it on the optimiser overnight and see if it still does it.

There's a common problem on that model vfr with the LCD part of the clocks, if I remember correctly it's a dry joint on one of the circuit boards. Might not be the same fault you're having but worth a look.

I have my heated gloves which I’ve never even used, discount going if you want them.

I think they are Large, I’ll have to check.

They are the Gerbing xrs-12 heated gloves.

I think that's a different issue, mine don't actually turn off but lose power for a split second. A lot of people saying it's the sign of a dying battery looking on VFR forums.

Cheers - they're the short cuff version aren't they? I'll pass, don't see much point in short cuff winter gloves, sort of defeats the purpose :p

I actually work half a mile from the main Gerbing base so I'm tempted to arrange to go in there and buy direct, will be able to try them on too.

I have the short cuff version and they're not short cuff like you imagine summer gloves are, I'd say "normal" cuff. I was quite surprised how massive there were when I got them, the normal ones must come half way down your arm! :p But I prefer wearing gloves under my sleeves.

I'll try and get a picture of them on.

They really are awesome too. Got mine last year for £100 off Sportsbikeshop after a pricing error :D
 
I've got the "short" version as well and the cuffs come up as far as my gauntlet summer gloves pretty much
 
An answer to Triumphs 765 Daytona concept?
