Summer Base Layer
Been hunting a good summer base layer shirt for years. Prefering one of the long sleeve variety, to limit sticky arms and random arm hair pulling 😦 , it really narrowed down the choices. Had to breathe exceptionally well, wick away sweat, dry quickly, resist stinking and look n fit half decent even after several washes. Oh yeah, and not require special treatment at cleaning time which should be rarely 😉

The Honda Motorcycle School in Saitama runs a good show with excellent instructors and a large fleet of modern hondas to play on.

A few days ride around the Western Australian city of Perth, my home town.
It was summer and hot, so what better bike to have than a matt black 160hp powerhouse? … At least it was naked so as long as you are moving, it’s cool.
