Hey guys,
I got an absolutely phenomenal deal yesterday on an M2R [made2race] jacket. While this has nothing to do with Ducati, I know, I have to share it.
The jacket was 450 bucks regular price, before tax, and was hanging on an 80% off rack. I thought it was a mistake; I really expected the staff to say "oh no, I'm so sorry, but that's only 25% off".
Anyway, I tried it on and the fit was *perfect*. Also, it's red - very Ducati red - silverish and black...in other words, the colour scheme works beautifully with my Hyper, which is actually the main reason it caught my eye.
With the discount, I paid 100 bucks Canadian - all in - for it. The jacket is mostly 1.4 mm leather with kevlar panels, foam inserts in the back, hard-padded elbows and shoulders, and is perforated throughout for summer riding [believe it or not, it gets really hot in Ottawa from June - September]. I would have gladly paid 250 for it without batting an eyelash, so 100 bucks had me smiling wide.
Just an FYI for Ottawa based riders, I got it at Motorsports World. And no, this isn't a promo for them - by all means, take your business wherever you like. In fact, I buy most of my stuff at Powersports.
Come on spring!!!

For some reason, KTM and Aprilia don't seem to generate the love that the MV has. To be fair, though, it's a sweet ride.
