Latest Musings
 
Just in time for Halloween or the long-lost Spaceballs sequel.
 
First Ed Hardy, now this. Why, God, WHY must you subject us to this belittling humiliation? WE ARE NOT TOYS! Just because I wear leathers and ride a sport bike doesn’t mean I must dress like an action figure. Sometimes I feel like companies equate "sport rider" with "deranged." Not to mention that motorcyclists already have image issues with the general public; do you think this is going to persuade people that we’re well-adjusted model citizens? And by the way, no self-respecting superhero sidekick would run around in chaps, which I’m pretty sure is what Loretta Latex is wearing.
 
The only redeeming qualities, and I use that word verrrry loosely, is that The Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit appears to have some decent features, like a lightweight liner, molded-leather and Kevlar armor sections, and heavy-duty Spandex inserts and CE-approved armor in the pants. Oh, also the fact that only 1,000 will be sold worldwide, hopefully in remote lands. Retail is 998 USD at www.udreplicas.com if you MUST subject yourself and everyone around you to this ridiculousness. Um, also, on a practical note if that codpiece is sold separately I’d leave it behind, as it’s likely going to scratch your tank. Plus no one will ever take you seriously again. EVer.

Do they make a "Robin" version? I figure the red suit, green briefs and yellow cape are more safety-conspicuous in traffic. Should be cheaper, too. - Ty
