Ok, now onto new love. My newest crush is on this jacket:
Rev'it Pearl ($310 US):

She looks much better in person and on the upper half of my body! It has a full removable liner and what you can sort of see is the flap in front that goes over the front zipper so as to keep the water and wind out. Oh yes. I like the light gray one as well. Not sure how well I could keep that clean. I'm looking to replace the unisex Rev'it jacket that I bought 3 years ago. It has served me well, numerous trips down South and keeping me warm in the city and around the Bay Area. It's fully waterproof (built into the outer shell) but I always feel like the michelin man when I wear it. It doesn't taper at all at the waist and I have to cinch it tighter, which makes it a little poofier up top than I'd like. No matter how tightly I secure the neck (velcro strap), I always manage to get air down the front of my chest. Which is the last place you want a windtunnel to be forming while going down the freeway at 70mph.
A good textile jacket should hug you in all the right places. If you have to cinch it down all the way at the waist to fit you, then you need a slightly more fitted jacket, or the next size down. This is already an XS (Unisex, not women's).
Hopefully I'll have this jacket soon and can take some before/after pics.
Shirts are Ready
2/20/08: Update. So Blogger doesn't like my shirts. I can only think that's why they won't upload my photos. Here are direct links to the photos on my own server:

Well they're finally here. After a couple months of designing and finalizing, they're actually here! If you're looking for a different type of women's tshirt that shows your interest in motorcycles, I think this will send the right kind of message.
This is a limited edition, small run so get yours today. After this design is over, it's onto the next! The shirts are by Alternative Apparel - "Destroyed". Description from their website:
aa1073 Destroyed Tee
regular fit s/s tee with grinding at collar, sleeve, and bottom. solid colors: 100% cotton jersey, 40’s 120gsm. heathered colors: 90% cotton, 10% poly jersey, 40’s 120gsm. 1x1 rib set-in collar and hems. blind stiched hems at collar and sleeve. garment dyed and washed, no shrinkage.
I'm wearing a Medium. It's super strechy, soft and comfy. I chose this shirt because I loved the color and the feel of Alternative Apparel shirts. The neckline, hem and sleeve trims are slightly worn (click on my pics and the link above for more detailed photos). I've already washed it and it hasn't shrunk at all. They're 100% cotton

Girls Gone Geek
It doesn't seem like it, but I'm a geek. A motorcycle riding, macbook-toting, die hard mac and all things tech, geek. But I guess many women who ride motorcycles are highly intelligent and technically oriented, smart individuals, right? ;)
At the beginning of Macworld 2 weeks ago, I went to this great event hosted by the Girls Gone Geek Academy. They're a cool group of women who love all things tech and podcast about it weekly. Just do a search for them on itunes and you'll find their feed. It's free! I was lucky enough to be interviewed by them at this event to tell all I could about my website, blog and passion for riding and gear.
Who knew that at a geeky event like Macworld I'd find a fellow sportbike enthusiast named Liana. As one of the producers of GirlsGoneGeek, she also rides! I was so excited to talk motos, tech and mac with her. What more could a girl ask for? (Oh yeah, one of these).
It just goes to show that no matter where you go, there's always a 'secret' motorcyclist hiding somewhere. Even if he/she doesn't appear to be someone you might think rides. I think that's the secret beauty of women riders. We're just everyday, average women who happen to ride motorcycles. I think that's where our story lies, isn't it?
