Pure sex. I tried one on at the dainese store and it felt perfect, looked hot and has more then enough protection for all your riding needs.

The new gear came in the other day. The rf1100 is a big improvement over the Icon I was wearing. It fits a lot better, has a smaller profile, and is more quiet at speed. The Avro jacket is fantastic. The fit and finish of Dainese products is unmatched in my opinion. The jacket is defiantly cut to be worn in a more aggressive riding position, but its basically the top half of a suit so that's to be expected. I guess Ill have to order up some WC Clip ons and rearsets now. I love having an excuse to buy more stuff for the ninjette :D

I love the Shoei helmets. They are the most comfortable helmets I've ever worn.

Nice gear.

I tried the Avro jacket the other day and the fitment was a bit odd on me. Would you be able to post a pic with the jacket on? Also, how does it deal with today's heat? We're local, so I know you dealt with the same riding weather I had today.

Ill try and get a picture with it on, but that odd fit is probably due to the aggressive nature of the jacket. It really fits the best in a 3/4 or full tuck. As for the heat, yeah it gets a bit warm in there. Not to much perf on it for air flow, but its not terrible to deal with. I just sat in almost dead stop traffic on the GSP for a good 45 minutes and although sweaty I didnt feel like I was going to keel over or anything :D
