So....inline with this thread and somewhat...well...remotely related to motorcycles, at least inspired by some of my gear....
I'm considering making/building carbon kevlar body armor. I can do the articulation so ease of movement will be there. I played football from 2nd grade up thru college, and have several motorcycle market armor sets.
It would have no real0world use what so ever, but would certainly make a good conversation starter when people come over to drink all my booze and hang out. Display it on a rack like old samurai armor.
However...should the horde break loose, I'd want it to be functional.
Think modern combat armor meets Fallout3 + a little madmax for flavor.
I need coffee......
