Bad Blogger, Bad and Tshirts!

It's been a slow 2 weeks. I haven't been motivated to write and wanted to make sure that I posted a little something before leaving for Orlando this weekend. (Yep, Mickey, Minnie, the whole deal).

NewEnough has Oxtar Sunray boots on sale for $129! That's a fantastic deal, as the average price in stores is about ~$160-$170. I've had a couple pairs of these boots and they're very warm, durable and super super comfortable to walk in. I easily worked 8 hours in these with no problem. They also have a Gore-Tex liner and are waterproof and will keep your feet toasty and warm. If you're looking for boots to give you an extra lift, these will help ~0.5" or so. If you need more, Daytonas are the way to go.

I'm also working on an idea to design women's moto tshirts. Not the cutesy, cheesy 'biker bitch' type of shirts with bikini clad cartoon women on the back of a motorcycle. But, something that even a woman who doesn't ride would wear. Not overtly sexual, but simple, classy and stylish. I'm working with a very talented graphic designer to come up with a couple of designs and hope to have some available by next month to purchase. My goal is to come up with a line of shirts that are going to really be representative of the sophisticated female motorcyclist. She's a modern rider, takes the sport seriously and wants to wear something that represents this kind of attitude.

But of course, is also really cute and cool to wear! I hope to post some mockups when my designer gets back to me this weekend with ideas.

Amen!!

Found this lovely prayer that someone wrote in the BARF forum recently. I don't ride a motard, but now I want to!

Motard prayer:

Our motard, who art in the twisties
Hallowed by thy name,
Thy roads will come
Thy will be done,
on dirt as it is on asphalt.

Give us this day, our daily wheelie
And forgive us our passes,
As we forgive those sportbiles who try to pass us

And lead us not into getting busted
but deliver us from citation

Amen.

Open House - October 20th!

Once again, it's time for Scuderia West's Fall open house on Saturday, October 20th at 10am-6pm. Come and check out the sales and specials that they'll have in store for you including fall clothing and accessories for cold weather riding.

As always, reps will be on hand to answer questions about their products. Scuderia is known for having extremely knowledgeable and friendly employees (myself included) to help you find the right jacket/pants/boots/helmets/gloves for you. If you've never been to a Scuderia open house, you know you don't want to miss this one.

See you there!

Updates!

I've added a new review in the Jackets section of my website, from Joanna L. in ???. I forgot to ask her where she's from. Thanks so much for adding this!
I've also added a few links to some general fit articles including what to look for in a helmet, how to fit leathers and measuring / sizing charts. I plan to write some articles myself, but I'm thinking that writing a few paragraphs on the subject is great and all, but wouldn't it be awesome if I had a couple videos showing you how leathers should fit once you try them on and what kind of things to look for when you're out there shopping for gear? You may be lucky enough to find a very knowledgeable saleswoman / salesperson who knows women's gear, but I imagine those are few and far between!

Keep checking back for updates, as I hope to shoot some short videos over the next month or two on the subject. :)
