my roller is a reusable type and I am finished painting but cannot get the roller cover itself off of the roller frame
I ride in the Chicago area. I wear dedicated riding boots with a hard toe cap under the leather. I can tell you from painful experience the value of these boots. I would not be able to work if I had a foot injury because I just wore work boots. I wear head to toe riding gear when it is 80 to 95 degrees. I wear Joe Rocket brand mesh pants and riding jacket. I always wear a full face helmet and gloves. I keep looking for a pair of armored gloves, but can't find any that fit. If my hands were damaged I would be out of work. Drivers in Chicago are some of the worst drivers I have encountered. Doesn't matter if it is spring, summer, fall, or winter, they are amongst the worst. This is why I always wear my protective gear. It also helps I have a couple of decades of driving and riding experience. As to where to store your gear, you will have to find a place to store your gear during your school days. One of the reasons I don't recommend sport bikes. No room for gear. You have asked a very good question. I hope you find a solution that works well for you and provides you the protection needed in case you encounter one of the thousands of distracted drivers that infest today's roadways. Good Luck
If your car is being refueled with the windows open (or other mistakes) and you ignite the fumes, the car is fully involved in a matter of seconds.
You can buy kevlar-reinforced denim jeans designed for riding – you will also need waterproof overtrousers in case of rain. Specifically designed boots will protect you better than a pair of leather work boots (beware laces can get caught on footpegs, causing slow-motion tips at traffic lights), and work boots will protect you better than a pair of Converse.
Apart from serious winter gear u might want to consider a one piece over suit if your only commuting. Check your local dealers out
You do not need to stick with leather, there are other options. Yes, you need boots. Do some research, even if it's just Google. You've got to try the stuff on when you pick it because stuff that doesn't fit either doesn't get worn or won't protect as designed. Choosing a motorcycle as your transport is a many faceted choice. If you all the time choose not to get cold in winter, or sweat in summer - buy a car. I prefer leather over textiles - my personal choice, does not make it any better or worse than other options. It can be hot in summer and cold in winter. Leather is a poor insulator by itself.
