You know the Europeans don't allow Jordan logos right?

I can't wait until your closet is filled with Dainese and Puma!

I already have Dainese jackets/equipment and A* is made in Italy... just saying...

I've been looking at those Pumas for a while but with 5 pairs of riding boots, I'm having a hard time justifying it to myself...

Lastly, from what I hear, Jordan Racing is on the short list to be riding BMWs next year.

There are so many hot literbikes out there right now...almost makes me wish I wasn't such a die-hard middleweight guy. I loved the new R1, now this thing is stomping on everything out there.

Some of A* boots might be made in Italy, but their jackets? China mostly. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

what does it look like from the saddle? Honestly, I am at the point where I could pretty much care less what a bike looks like to people on the sidewalk - I spend my time in the saddle so that's what is important to me.
