Finally. Tshirt #2.
I wish I could churn these out every week.
These are from the same brand (Alternative Apparel) and style (vintage) as my previous tee. It's soft, stretchy and ridiculously low cut in the front. :) If you're not a low cut tee kind of gal you can always wear a little camisole underneath.
$24.00 (includes free USPS 1st class shipping)
Size: s, m, l, xl (I'm wearing a medium)

Please watch this awesome video with Jay Leno and Bruce Porter regarding proper helmet fit. Bruce Porter has worked with Arai for many years and has extensive knowledge on helmets and is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet!
I was lucky enough to meet with him at the Chicago Motorcycle Show last weekend. He spent 5 minutes with me showing me the easiest way to remove the face shield. I know Arai is notorious for having this system, but when it comes down to purchasing your helmet, Fit has to be the 1st priority. If it doesn't fit you, how's that going to protect you?
The 1st video is Bruce and Jay. The 2nd is an Arai video on youtube demonstrating removal. I also found it much easier to have the helmet in front of you facing Away from you as well, if you're not wearing it when swapping out the visor.
So I just acquired a new 2 wheeled vehicle. Yep, a 2003 sv650s, in superb condition (only 587 miles on it. {Thanks Steve and Valerie!}). I have many reasons for the transition, but my main reason is it's a real, bonafide sportbike! And a twin at that. There's something about the low rumble of a twin. Not the "Potato Potato" of a Harley, but more of a "barr-umph" when you rev it. Thats exactly what it is. A Barr-umph. It also has a lower riding position. Since my arms are short, I'm leaning over quite far, maybe 45 degrees? But when my husband is riding it, he's not leaned over very much at all. Probably because he has big man arms.
I've been riding around a lot wearing the Revit Ignition, testing it out (especially today in the rain) and I realized that this jacket is more comfortable in riding position on the SV. On my Z750, I find it to be 'scrunchy' and too much length in the arms since my bars are upright. But leaning over more requires a little more length.
And this jacket works perfectly. *sigh* It's inevitable that I'll be ordering my own Revit Ignition Ladies jacket in a size 40. Which is 2 full sizes larger than my Revit Pearl. I think due to the cut of the Ignition and also because Revit hasn't quite figured out proper sizing for the American crowd. I guess the same goes for many European brands. I'll post a full review soon.
Rubber Side Up!
Looks like you can Spidi on sale everywhere right now. Motorcycle Superstore is one of them. Unfortunately the sales are limited to specific size, but if you're lucky, one of them will be yours. Spidi can fit a little funky, in that the shoulders may be a little narrow with a fairly slim cut through the torso. But not nearly as slim as Rev'it.
