Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

Motorcycle Riders Only - Really, Don't Click if you Don't Ride
Motorcycle Riders Only - Really, Don't Click if you Don't Ride (just kidding )

I'm looking for personal experiences with Open or Concealed carry while riding a motorcycle. I've read lots of articles/watched a lot of videos so I got the "book learning" part down, now I would appreciate real life recommendations from those actually carrying on a bike (hence the title) in these hot summer months in PA. My AIWB carry is just not going to cut it even with the fairly upright riding position of my Kawasaki EX500 A4. Also I don't think I would fare well in a crash with that hunk of metal in that position.

I'm interested in:

What are you riding/carrying?
Why did you end up with that method of carry?
What compromises did you end up making to carry?

Extra credit for anyone who tells me if they have practiced drawing and firing with their motorcycle gloves on. It takes a LOOOONG time for me to take my riding gloves off, it does not make sense to incorporate "remove glove from shooting hand" into my emergency draw.
