i don't know enough about jackets to tell what is and/or isn't fake, but i'm pretty sure the "official" repsol leathers are alpinestars; but i think in the states joe rocket licenses the honda brand for some of their gear...

^ the one posted isn't an Alpine Star jacket. They didn't make Alpine Star jackets available. Now the Nicky Hayden and the rest of the crew might have had Alpine Star jackets. Joe Rocket made them one year and I think Honda released some as well. You can also see the tag. It says Repsol, not the logo. I know a bunch of leather companies made the jacket and gloves. You can also see the difference in patches. The quality is different, like the differences in sneakers and jerseys. You can tell which is off and which is cut correctly.

Pedrosa and Marques ride with Alpinestars jackets in MotoGP. I'd love to get my hands on one of those.

They released two different leathers. They were both Joe Rocket, one had a Honda tag and the other had the Joe Rocket tag. The tags, patches, logo, are all different compared to the one that was posted. Collar should have Joe Rocket on it, Gas should also say Gas or Blue Jeans Gas, not Blue Fire Gas.

School me on replica jackets. Does it mean the same thing in the motorbike jacket world as it does in to world of sneakers? I'm looking to buy a joe rocket Suzuki jacket from the eBay and what not.

^ it's not the exact jacket that they wear on the track, it's a cheaper duplicate available for retail. If you're buying the Suzuki jacket, just be careful because there's so many fakes out there of all the racing jackets. Pay close attention to the details of the patches and small details. Good luck.

I found the 07 Repsol that has eluded me for so long. Ridiculously low miles. I think I might have to pull the trigger.

I'm confused. Didn't you just buy the 05 or was that someone else?

You're not confused at all, that was me. A friend of mine gave me a heads up about the 07, which is the year I wanted originally. I bought the 05 basically as a placeholder.

Honest answer fellas, how often to you guys slip into neutral while coming out of first gear and rave the hell out of it? its embarrassing. I find myself doing it at least once every time I ride out, I still consider myself in a rookie stage. I notice it always happens when I'm wearing sneakers.

That never happens to me. But my GSXR has GP shift, so that might be a factor as to why. Though it never happened much to my recollection in my R6.

It happens once in a while. Just need to make sure you upshift firmly and you'll be ok. Its one of those things that gets better with experience. I usually wear Jordans (12s) when street riding with no problems.

Stopped messing up my kicks when riding. Bought a pair of black construct timbs. Can't go wrong with a classic.
