Joe Rocket Cleo 2.0:
The Cleo looks particularly good since it comes in white. I imagine that must be helpful if you live in a hot and humid climate.

Open House! Sat. April 21st!

If you're in San Francisco, come on by to Scuderia West located at Duboce between Valencia and Mission. Today was the lady's open house where we had some crazy markdowns on Dainese leather jackets (less than $300!!!) and some great Cortech textile jackets for less than $150!!!

Crazy. A new jacket that's selling like hotcakes is the R'evit Angel, part of the Engineered Skin line. oooo. It's tailored perfectly to a woman's body. If you have hips and a waist, or if you're petite (size 2-4), this is the jacket for you! Totally waterproof, with a zip out liner.

And the sizing runs big. So if you're a 42 Dainese, you'll be a 38 R'evit Angel. It also comes in a cute version with red accents (where the light gray is on the shoulder of this pic). I am secretly coveting this jacket. *drool*

Busy Busy Busy

Sadly, that's me. My 'real' job of office slave is getting ridiculously busy. We're having an event in Spain in 3 weeks and my time is getting sucked up quicker than I can exhale. I'm hoping to work on my site this weekend and hopefully have something substantial to have ready by then. Why must I have a real job? Why can't I just blog all day long and get paid for it or something? Thank goodness I haven't been teaching any MSF classes this month, otherwise I'd be wiped out. I've been working the last few weekends at Scuderia, studying up as much as I can to further enrich myself about women's motorcycle gear.

Speaking of gear, this Friday and Saturday is a massive open house at my 3rd part time/seasonal job, Scuderia West in San Francisco. I'm learning lots about Rev'it, Olympia and Dainese women's gear while working there. Okay, I'm learning a ton about the men's stuff too, but that's besides the point! I just discovered that Cortech has a textile jacket called the LRX that comes in 5 colors, has a zip out liner and retails for only $129.99 and even comes in a plus size small, medium and large! (It looks like it could be leather, but it really is textile).
