Whatever you get, just make sure the lining is long enough. I got a new Rev'It jacket a few months back, but now that it's getting colder I've discovered that the lining is probably 6 inches too short. I guess it might be OK with textile pants under, but I usually wear Draggin jeans when it's fine and now I get a really cold line around my middle.

I to have noticed that as i get older I get colder.

Look at bits for bikes and see if they list one for your bike. They probably will and they are about $25. Any bike shop can get them.

another scorpio standard piece of equipment. It sets the standard for user gear.
except for the dial fonts, and no temp indicator (its air cooled)

come on catch up other manufacturers, can always remove if required for track days.

Tigerdee, you may need sunnies when FOLLOWING me now!

[Sis]

I wont be needing the sunnies as I wont be there this week.

I have a committee meeting and I guess it is about time I attended.

I am sure that you'll be able to find some roads somewhere.
May I suggest practising slow riding in the car park. I felt the circles were great last week but a bit fast.
