    Anyone ride motorcycles?

    If you are used to new style motorcycle gear, driving a sport bike with a traditional HH Jacket becomes quite uncomfortable. It is not so bad for naked bikes as you don't have to bend that much to get a grip on the handlebars. There has been a discussion about the weight of Motorcycle...
