The Motorcycle - she grows on me

trystinnI've finally figured out the correct combination of layering to remain warm & toasty on the back of the motorcycle. In April. In the Pacific Northwest. During the late afternoon.
This involves:
Halter with built in bra (underwires + armor = ow, Ow, OWIE!)
Polar undershirt
Long johns
Thick jeans
100% cotton or wool sweater
Fleece or down vest
Polar gloves
Armored riding jacket
Ear muffs
Helmet (now sporting spiffy new Valkyrie/Bald Eagle wings)
Fleece hiking socks
Leather boots
1/2 face ski mask (I feel like a bank robber in it, though)
And no, I'm not particularly flexible in all that nor am I quick to suit up. But I am warm & toasty, which is the absolute priority. Those and tunes, since I'm not driving. Speaking of priorities, I've finally ordered a bunch of stickers and patches for my get up. Picy goodness to come once the aforementioned is assembled.
