That's a good looking jacket. I had two leather jackets when I still rode street bikes, sold them and bought Textile when I got the ADV bike.

Really regret it as the one was a perfect fit custom Leatherbacks jacket.

Now I look like a "Frikkie" when I occasionally get on the sports bike with the ADV textile jacket on.

We had a incident this morning. 5 of us went for a breakfast ride. On the way home, my son and two others went ahead. I was on the Rocket chilling at the back with our neighbour on his Harley . Come round a bend and see cars and bikes stopped on the side of the road. I see only 2 bikes and with a sickening feeling realise my son's bike is not there.

The emotions as I parked the bike and walked across the road not knowing what I was going to see is something I never want to experience again. Bike is pretty bent and son is alright. Bit stiff and bruised. Helmet and jacket moertoe.

Total freak accident. There was a blind 90 degree turn to the right. Slow row of cars and he overtook. Fortuner in the middle of the row of cars then turned off the the road into the turn off and sideswiped him and he went flying. Fortunately did not see it happen as my wife would of totally lost it.

This is something we as moto parents/families will always have to live with.

My boy almost always rides with me, from the Tankwa Karoo to Swartberg Pass and it's always in the back of my head how something can go wrong at any moment. 

If you have a passion for motorcycling and it's shared with your children you can't get away from the risk factor and it's best to prepare them properly for what might happen.

Propper ATGATT and skills training aswell as thinking ahead, always being aware of your surroundings and making safe informed decisions accordingly. 

Only way to keep us/them safe if this dangerous bug bites.🤙

That said, ☝, here's to moto families.🤙

All the gear all the time.

I was mistaken it seems, thanks. Always thought only the “external” protectors were good for level 2. 
 

 

And now that I have learnt something I ordered a level 2 back protector to insert in my trusty lummie… having inspected mine and found it to be a level 1 only. 
 

learn something everyday, thank you dankie.

Selling my jacket for those that might be interested. Should work perfect for the missus as well, since I am on the smaller side of things.

Jip, seen a number of confirmation posts from Danilo and Ducati this week. Think Asphalt and Rubber were either ahead of the game, had insider info or jumped the gun..............
Should be interesting. See he is testing with the WSBK boys at Portimao, but on Michelin MotoAmerica rubber.
Surprised by the move tbh, I would have thought a WSBK move could be done. This seems like 2 or 3 steps down the ladder. Must be why Herrin has been relegated to the SSP class on a Ducati V2.

I’m going guess he will get more freedom in his contract and still be allowed to race Dakar and maybe a few more rallies to get his GP license for Rallies. That’s just my speculation.
