REV'IT Ignition 2 Jacket and Gear 2 Pants
This Ignition jacket has been so popular for REV'IT that it took them 3-4 years to update it. Many manufacturers like to rehash their lines every 4-5 years (much like helmets) and they've definitely taken some liberties with both the Ignition and matching Gear 2 pants.
As mentioned in this previous post, the Marryls have been discontinued and instead, REV'IT combined the fit and features of the first generation Gear pant to make the new Gear 2 pants.
I'll be picking these up TODAY and I can't wait! I've been dying to get my hands on this outfit since I saw it in October. These two items are the perfect for year round riding and touring. I've put about 20,000 miles on my other Ignition and I love everything about that jacket except the length of the torso. It sits right on top of my hips and I just wish it were either an inch shorter (for my super short torso) or a little bit flared at the waist. It had a really straight line from the armpit to the waist and for someone with narrower hips, it's perfect. But for me, it pushes up a little bit.
For those of you who are looking for a really great deal, now's the time to buy the current versions from your dealer since they should be marked down to get ready for the new versions.
The Ignition 1 is the longest, most fitted jacket for those of you with longer torsos, narrow shoulders and long arms. I can't say enough good things about it.
You can find them both online at Revzilla or in person at Scuderia West, or your local REV'IT dealer.
Oil Change Class & Gear Seminar
Learn how to change your own oil!
Then, spend an hour with me, trying on gear and figuring out what fits, what doesn't and were to buy it.
On Sunday, March 4, 2012 from 1pm-3pm, my friend Aleks will be teaching a girls only oil change class at the Moto Shop in South San Francisco. Changing your own oil takes maybe 30 minutes and is soooo easy. It's so satisfying knowing how to fix something on your own motorcycle. It's yours, why not figure out how it works?
Afterwards, we'll move over to the couch and my friends at Scuderia West in San Francisco will be sponsoring this class by providing samples of jackets, pants, boots and gloves for you to try on. As this class is limited to 5 people, Aleks and I are going to give you some real one on one time in this class.
As of this post, there are only 3 spots left. Ack! Sign up before someone else takes your spot. :)
See you then!
