I wonder if this ad sold more lipstick, or more motorcycles?

You are Iron Man ... or you could be if you wore this 'vastly more portable' suit!

My wife says she doesn't like Safeway. Maybe she'd like it better if she wore this. And maybe I could look like Iron Man if I wore this. Come to think of it, we could shop at Safeway together as The Iron Couple.

Seriously, though, I found this when reviewing my article on body armor -- which I'd like to update sometime soon. This product will not be featured, no matter what Universal Designs says:

Make no mistake, this is not a costume. As a ‘replica’ of what IRON MAN™ ‘wears’ this motorcycle suit has been brought to life with real world function and use…all the while paying tribute to the IRON MAN™ suit as seen on the big screen in all it’s glory.

For $1100, you too can wear this suit. If you dare. See ya at Safeway, dude!

Back, but for how long?

Well, I'm back. Neither blogging nor riding have been high on my list lately. I got married in February, and a blended family poses some significant challenges. But I'm happy. All I need now is to GET THE PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN ON ORDER FOR A MONTH AT ROSEVILLE CYCLE CENTER.

One would think that a footpeg mount for a 2001 XR650R would be in stock. But not at Roseville Cycle Center. Had the footpeg mount from Roseville Cycle Center come in already, I would be riding with these guys.

And oh, and by the way, I'm the webmaster over at MLDS. Consider joining the forums if you have any interest in riding the Sierra.

Jayne Mansfield, Motorcycle Cop

It's a veritable cornucopia of sex tonight. This image comes from the Library of Congress site, "Hog Heaven: Celebrating 100 Years of the Harley Davidson." The photo below is captioned, "Jayne Mansfield, posed as motorcycle cop 'Miss Traffic Stopper,' ticketing male driver." Something tells me the guy wasn't too upset.
