I have already had many short sleeve rides but today I decided to wear the jacket and was lucky I did after I took a direct hit in the chest at 65 mph by a bumble bee. Hopefully the jacket took some of the impact cause man did it hurt like hell!!!!!!!
Yea! riding in short sleeves is great. I used to do that.
Ever been stung multiple times in the armpit by a hornet??
Had a bee fly up my pants leg once. AIN'T LIFE GRAND!
Pulled over - after being stung - dropped my pants by the side of the road - let the bee out - found out I had allergies the hard way!!
we were riding up the interstate at 70 mph one time when a bee flew up my wife's pants leg. she started going crazy and the bike is going all over the road. i dont know how i kept from wrecking, but she wasnt the only one that almost had a heart attack. but short sleeve shirt riding is great.

Got my first short sleeve ride yesterday also. Got a little too much sun on the arms though.
I was packing the SPF 50 this w/e and still got burned. Although it wasn't my first w/e in a tee. I feel for you yankees w/ all that white stuff. Glad it's turning around for you boys up North.
I've had several days in the past month that started in jacket and sweatshirt, and ended in a tshirt, but this week I've been able to wear short sleeves all day. I am loving it.
