So I was going to try to make a video today for the cosplay stuff but maintenance is here so that will probably not happen.
I am working up a chart to see how expensive the cosplay will be so I can set goals of what I need to earn though!
Biggest thing though is if I put motorcycle armor into the cosplay I may only be able to do a female Lloyd. I'm just looking at men's armor and it will not fit safely or comfortably because I am a woman with boobs 😅

I need new motorcycle armor!
I have a favorite motorcycle jacket, a Harley Davidson “Switchback” that is now ten years old. When I put it on to ride Howard’s Twisted Tongue, I noticed the elbow armor was broken into several pieces.

Bilt Iron Works Kevlar Motorcycle Riding Pants
I reviewed an earlier version of the Bilt Iron Workers Kevlar motorcycle pants way back in 2013. The older version received a 4-star rating, but these pants have been improved over the years.

Designed a combat exoskeleton and an... "armed" motorcycle for a story.
The exoskeleton is designed for ultra-high mobility, which means heavy armor is limited to the helmet and torso, while the rest just gets some light kevlar. A high-volume low-pressure hydraulic system give it speed at the expense of strength, and a hydropneumatic drum allows the limbs to be backdriven slighly to act as shock absorbers. Smoke grenades, electronic warfare countermeasures, and a automatic-dodging function on the jetpack improve its survivability.
The motorcycle is heavily armored from the front, with heavy armor and a pair of redundant wheels. Its AI allows it to drive and fight independently of the rider, and it has a pair of retractable arms to help with manual tasks.
All weapons on suit and motorcycle have aim-assist using a pair of gyroscopes, which is how the suit is able to mount weapons on the back of the arm, where hardsights would be less effective. When the rider is not on the cycle, its weapons are controlled solely with the gyroscopes.
The story takes place on Earth, chronologically earlier than my other stories, so the technology is appropriately slightly more primitive.
Inspirations and influences below cut
Hulc Exoskelteon from real life, Combat Jacket from Edge of Tomorrow (specifically the hands)
Harrier Jump jet thrust nozzles from real life, various cool suits from the work of Tsutomu Nihei
Bubblegum Crisis Hardsuits and motorslaves
The Batcycle, and whatever this thing is
