Vanson Leathers Mesh & Textile Motorcycle Jacket - Size Xxl on 2040-parts.com
Glendora, California, US
Gray and black, size XXL. I usually wear an XXLT, and I find this jacket to fit perfectly. "CE" rated armor pads in shoulders, elbows, and down the spine. Velcro adjusters for waist circumference. Patches on shoulders made of reflector material. Zippered outer pockets. Non-zippered mesh pockets inside front of jacket for gloves. Zip-out liner made of heavy windbreaker material.
Auction includes "hydro-gel" vest (not made by Vanson). Dip vest in bucket of water, put on silver side out, put jacket over vest. Airflow creates "swamp cooler" effect. A/C for your torso. Dramatic difference in hot weather. Gel designed to "hold" water so NO DRIPS all over motorcycle.
Jacket hasn't seen a lot of miles, and has NEVER been in a crash. This jacket was around $300 when I bought it brand-new. I sold my motorcycle a few years ago, and the jacket has just been sitting in a box. Auction includes zippered bag for storing hydro-vest and windbreaker-liner.
No reserve. Flat-rate shipping to continental USA only. Good luck bidding!

Video: Fiat creates café racer 500 for SEMA
Tue, 30 Oct 2012Fiat is preparing a café racer-style 500 for this week's SEMA show by stripping down an Abarth version to take it "down to the essence of what you need to drive a car." The café racer philosophy of ‘more speed, less comfort' was born around the 1960s British 'biker scene and while initially focussed on increasing performance, quickly developed into a culture as concered with 'the show' as 'the go'. "It takes something like this to really get noticed at SEMA," says Craig Buoncompago, Project Manager at Fiat Product Design. "The Café Racer is really going to be one special car that you guys should really come and see." The 500's roof has been chopped, while also shorn of its door handles and being fitted with hot rod billet rims.

Caterham 620R heading for Goodwood debut
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Caterham 620R (pictured) will debut at the Goodwood FoS Caterham may be planning an assault on the mainstream car market with an SUV and a City Car, but it’s not forgetting its roots, with a new entry-level 7 in the mix and now a new range-topping 7 – the Caterham 620R. The Caterham 620R is heading for Goodwood this week for a debut – and consigning the current R500 to the history bin in the process – as the most powerful road going car Caterham have ever produced. The power comes from the same 2.0 litre Supercharged Ford engine as the R500, but in the 620R the wick has been turned up to 11, with 310bhp on offer, enough to scoot the 500kg 620R to 62mph in just 2.8 seconds.
