REV’IT Ignition 2 Jacket and Gear 2 Pants

REV'IT Ignition 2 in Black Anthracite, FrontREV'IT Gear 2 Motorcycle Pants Womens

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.

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!

 

Plus Size Motorcycle Pants

I received an email the other day from a woman who is searching for Size 16 overpants. Anything over a size 12-14 is pretty difficult to find, but luckily I was able to give her a few suggestions.   These all come in a true size 16 or equivalent.

The fit on all of these are all curvy and generous in the hips/thighs/waist. Olympia’s pant feature accordian stretch panels along the hips/thighs for an even more adjustable fit.

If you have any that you’d like to add to the list, please feel free to comment.

REV’IT Women’s Motorcycle Gear 2012

In October 2011, I was lucky enough to visit REVIT’s headquarters to see all the new 2012 collection. This year’s collection has been streamlined a bit to offer better styling, form and function than ever before.
