    In the same way that their bikes only look like the ones you'd buy
    from a dealer, their leathers are the same.

    Go for some Wolf kit. Reasonably priced, and good for the money. Happy with
    mine, and I know others have been happy with theirs.

    I was there, and the jacket did its job, as far as I could see. Remember,
    the road surface was very abrasive [1] and the hole was right over where the
    shoulder armour was.

    [1] that cheap overy layer type tarmac.

    Note: the following opinion is that of a current Akito employee, and
    your own judgement should be used.

    Akito gear is about to go a bit further; I've seen some of the new
    stuff coming through and I'm shocked how good it looks - both in
    design and manufacture. Proof of pudding being in the eating, of
    course.

    A new web suite is in progress. It will be better.

    Lozzo banged the rocks together and they said :
    I know that, I was really replying to Molly.
    Yeah I know, hence why I said I'll be visiting him.
    Strangely enough its had the opposite effect. I've been wearing walking
    boots, Draggin jeans and a <something> jacket for a couple of years now.

    Absolutely nothing would have prevented my leg damage in the 2001
    accident, that was my knee digging into the mud as I came back down,
    all my weight going through the femur which then exploded.
    I wasn't going to, I asked about FT remember!

    My original suit was a Shoei, who don't make anything but lids now,
    which is a pity cause that one was bloody well made, light, comfy,
    cool, strong, etc, etc.
    Kinda shows, along with my accident, even the best leathers can only
    protect you so much.

    Well, yes, but I quite like Stroud and Nailsworth, they seem to have a
    sense of community and social responsibility. Agree on the **** off
    gaff on a hill point.

    There's always Painswick though which looks quite pleasant to me. There
    is of course the risk it's where the League of Gentlemen was set though.

    Your ZX10R can do lap times their race bikes were doing 2 years ago.

    Arlen Ness and Wolf are owned and made by the same people, Madiff
    Industries, in the same Hong Kong factory.

    If Frag had spent any more time skating down the road in that jacket,
    rather than just hitting the deck momentarily then flying into the
    scenery, he'd be ripped to shreds - it tore like lavatory paper. No
    jacket should hole like that in the time it spent on the tarmac,
    regardless of how abrasive that tarmac is. How abrasive do you think a
    race track tarmac is, yet Dainese feel happy to sell one-piece suits
    made from the same grade of leather to all and sundry.

    Absolute crap imo, but then, I'm well known for knowing **** all about
    motorcycle clothing. If you want to buy something that's basically a
    very expensive fashion accessory, go ahead and fill yer boots.

    I just can't do Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays that's all.
    Except for the weeks when I can't do Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as
    well.
    And cider.

    From what I remember.

    You're still able to type after yesterday's japes then?
    I'm sure you get told about it by others.

    I was thinking more along the lines of lay siege to it.

  17. In that rich earth a platypus concealed;
    A 'pus whom trophies rode, turned upside down,
    just once, it's wheels to spin, its seat to rest

    I'll finish the filk later

    It probably can. But it's not comparable with a current superbike.

    "Red socks" in my experience is slang for countryside walkers.
