    Default So who designs motorcycles and MC gear anyway?

    There are so many obvious usability issues with motorcycles. And gear? There is so much crap, useless gear out there. And this garbage is put out my major brands, not some obscure brand in China. It seem to me the people who design for the industry don't ride themselves.

    It might not actually be necessary for the designers; to be riders...


    ...But they sure as Heck should have a couple of riders giving them advice about what really works!

    Default It's about the look...

    Have you seen how much stuff is out there for the jogger/gym/pilate excersise crowd. Most you see at the coffee shop and they never see a drop of sweat..
    How many 4x4 are out there that have never seen the dirt... but how cool would it be it that goat skin gold plated zipper silk lined jacket could protect you from a bee sting...
