I'm on the horns of indecision here. I can't decide on an Aerostich one piece suit and heated grips for winter riding or a Porsche Boxster with heated seats. Would I be drummed out of the Bad Weather Bikers if I bought the Porsche? |

Get the `stich and wear it year round. No reason to skimp on gear just because its not cold. May I recommend the 2 piece Roadcrafter with a bib conversion on the pants. I have a 1 piece suit (not a stich). I couldn't afford the stitch so I got the Fieldsheer knockoff. Anyway, It's great, but two days after I bought it, I knew I should have gotten a two-piece set-up. Its a pain to get in and out of, especially at a resturant. WIth a two piece, you could take off the jacket and leave the pants on. But with the one piece, you have to take the whole production off and then figure out something to do with it while you eat, shop, etc. It's a pain. The 2 piece Stitch with the bib conversion is just as weather proof as the one piece, and I believe the two halves even zip together if you so choose. Nick |

PS) It snowed 9.5 inches here today, and its still snowing. Snowmobiles are driving past my office window. They're technically not street legal, but generally allowed during blizzards here in small town Minnesota. LOL. It was 76 degrees two days ago. Now its 32 with 9 inches of snow. DOH. |

Go for both of them. You'd look sweet driving the Boxster in your Areostich. Be sure to get complimentary colors. |

It's silver with black top and interior, and coincidentally, the colors I picked out for the suit are gray with black. Maybe your handle should be "mindreader" instead of "mainstreamer". |

Bummer-could not strike a deal on the Boxster. But I really want a black S model to better match the Uly. Oh well, shopping is almost as much fun as driving... |
