Do not get one piece suit, it'äs a pain in the ass to get on your wet gear. (you know, you never stop early enogh to get your raingear on before you get wet.)

Two piece suit is fine as you can ditch the jacket if it's just wet road…

Rev'it are one of my favourite motorcycle gear companies, and have just launched the Yates. It's an armoured sweatshirt knitted from the abrasion resistant fabric that they use to line their riding jeans.

There's a blog entry and product page on their website. More details can be gleaned from Revzilla's product video.

With the exception of the tubes, this is all cast from aluminium. Electric motor, and breaks down to fit into your checked luggage. 1400 hours to create.

Amazing work Alex!

Just wanted to share pics of my baby, that I am sadly selling since I don't have time to ride it anymore

[Alex]

Not my work, I am afraid. Just one of many I spotted at the 1Moto show. Here are a few others (i didn't get much time off the stand, there were hundreds and hundreds of bikes there):

was in Gruene, TX today and stopped by the HD shop. this sweetness caught my eye (and a 58 panhead bobber, but was asked not to photo it. ????)

Great post Sam, thanks.

Decided to get my old 1983 Honda XL 250 R back in working order after an 11-year freeze.

This pic is just before delivering it to the mechanic's shop. Paintwise it looks better than expected because all the red parts (tank and frame) were painted one year before I stopped using it.

I expect to begin riding offroad once again and I thought this option would be the cheapest way to find out if I'll actually do it and stick to it. If I find I enjoy those trips again, I'll then consider upgrading to a new , modern and reliable bike. I'm hoping to keep the overall expense of getting my old Honda roadworthy at less than 1000 dollars. I'll report back in a few weeks.

Keeping is hard work…... 

Next time some riders pics please @motojobobo

Sold my  modified KTM 450 EXC last year to a very good friend.
But unfortunately, his son arrived this year. I have fully access to the bike again  :o. This could come worth….

"Keeping a dirt bike is hard work and costs hours of mechanic time.
In my memories it was only 15:1. But in realtime it was 2 hours of riding dirt and 1 hour of mechanical work.
Not even to think about, when you've a new born.

Memories from 2007

Stopped by my wife’s office the other day

The Panigale….so happy I don’t need one of these 

[motojobobo]

Is that the new 4 cylinder Panigale?

Cool office to visit!

[Haddtoo 555]

It is! Lots of goodies on that one.

We're on our fourth travel day of a 2000 km drive to reach Termas de Rio Hondo in Argentina to watch the motogp race this weekend.

This is my 1991 R100 taking me there as part of a 9-rider group. The pannier supports started breaking and I had to get them welded in Tilkara.

Today our final interim stop is Cafayate, one of Argentina's wine regions. The red-colored canyon provides a magnificent preamble to the green valley awash with vineyards.

Great travel pictures of your BMW @motojobobo.
