I'd love to go to the races, and to ride escorted back to Pyramid after for a movie! But it's going to really rain hard tomorrow and Saturday... --Bruce...
Well, I finally rode in real actual rain in my "waterresistant" but not "waterproof" B-One boots. Work (in Berkeley) to home (in Alameda) is about 10 miles,...

Yeah, cool! But what we really need to be able to do is filter that mass by their leather content. 99% of those gloves are non-vegan, and it's very hard to...
Bruce, Bruce, Bruce..you just gotta shoot down all my ideas huh? :D Okay lemme help this a little. AGV Sidewinder, flex gel, summer mesh, GS-02 (I think), and...
Awesome, a list. Thanks Steve! I'll check out your top pics in a local store. It's super-hard to find decent textile glives, the info is much appreciated. ...
My pleasure! I do wonder if you happen to know if Aerostich suits are track legal? I might be moving to Vegas and don't want to get a full cow suit and between...
... I think some track days accept them, but I doubt any racing organization does. Even for a track day, I'd call the organizer first to make sure. It would ...
Hi List. First off, Hi -- I'm Owen, been vege for 20+ years and riding for about 15. Currently I live in Berkeley,CA, a really good place for both. Regarding...
I had been talking to a parts dude at the Honda dealer who told me that either a friend or a customer took a lowside with a tex jacket on, after a quick run...
... Oh, they do occasionally survive a light wreck. My better half has been down twice at low speed in his textile Erbo. They're just not meant to take the ...
My cow suit and I lowsided last month at Sears, and sadly it even did not fair well. Geez, if it were me planning to do some track days, and if a cow suit was...

I've read testimonials of lowsides at triple figure speeds with mesh tex gear and the riders have walked away rashless but in need of new gear. I've also heard...
As far as I remember, you can rent a leather suit on the track for the day. Most "schools" have it. Don't know about the club track events or a real race. I...

Helen, You are right. Compared to a bicycle, motorcycles are pretty big polluters and consume a lot of gasoline. (Some much more than others, of course). ...
As a long-range commuting vehicle for single people (mostly), a motorcycle is a wiser choice than all of the people that are commuting and causing gridlock, as...

Hey Helen - Not all bikes are loud. Actually, there are laws against street bikes over a certain decible limit (I'm sure it varies by state, and I'm not sure...
Note that Helen was writing from Hawaii, where cycling is a viable option for more people. Also (and I don't think she is reading these comments) though...
Helen - In your original message to Carl, you were the angry and accusatory one. Now you try to back off and defend yourself as a former rider, and seem to...
So Helen bailed out of "murder-cycles" and thinks vegan motorcyclists are holding on to an oxymoron. The problem with such people is always the shallowness of...

I don't know. I also would suspect that they may have lumped 2 cycle dirt bikes into the whole equation. Still, it is something to consider. Maybe be sure to...
There is something else to consider here: The phrase "...greatest impacts in most categories RELATIVE TO THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE..." (emphasis mine) and the...
