I added the Olympia review to my reviews page and fixed some other details on other reviews there as well. I also made a few updated comments to some of them too. I'm still working on my Revit review. Check back this weekend!
Overpants, Vegan Gear, Gloves
Overpants: So I finally got those MotoGP pants from New Enough. Sadly, they are a *little* too small on me right now. Even if I lost a few more pounds, I don't think I'd wear them. They are decent, come with knee armor and zip from hip to toe. And they were an amazing deal thru NE. I'm a size 4 in pants, but these fit more like a 2-4 as an overpant. I doubt I'd be able to wear them as pants with the liners in. So, I'll probably end up ordering the Olympia Pro Max pants in a size 6. Much more comfortable and they aren't very bulky, imo. Someone did recommend the Joe Rocket Alter Ego overpants to me, but I wonder how strong the textile is compared to Olympia. It's sad, but the girl in me likes the gray squiggly pattern above the butt. However, the gearchic in me likes the construction, inseam, adjustable armor position and comfort of the Olympia's.
Vegan Gear: Awhile back I posted about Vegan Motorcycle Gloves. I found another pair sold through Motoport.com.
Kevlar Racing Glove, $129 US: http://www.motoport.com/_product_35446/Kevlar_Racing_Glove
I'm going to try and build a better listing of Vegan gear options on my Directory page, so please keep checking back. Or, if you have any recommendations you'd like to make, please post a comment here.
Still madly working on my site
I'm still trying to get my site up and running. It's taking longer than I expected, since I'm writing all the code myself. No Dreamweaver or Microsoft Crapsite software for me! Just pure html and css. For you webnerds, you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who aren't familiar, let's just say that instead of buying a box of Betty Crocker cake mix, and baking the cake that way, I've decided to make it all from scratch! Tastier on the inside and prettier on the outside.
On the way home from dinner last night with my husband, he took this really bad photo of me on my crackberry
In case you're wondering, that's not my scooter. I gave mine up 2.5 years ago!
In this pic, I'm wearing my fave Arai Quantum II helmet, and my cherished Vanson textile jacket. Too bad they discontinued this design already. It's a super dense cordura blend jacket, with multiple vents in the front rear, arms and back. I can't bear to part with it even though it's a size too big for me. And due to my lack of cup size, it's a little big up top. But it would definitely be great for a petite girl (Size 2-4) with a big chest. :-)
I'd better get back to programming my site. Hope to have things ready by this weekend. Yeah!
