Hey guys, and in this case especially you girls! Tired of wearing uncomfortable gear that doesn’t protect all of your parts? Well, Dainese has a solution for you.

The Italian safety gear maker has designed a chest protector just for women. Like the men’s protector, it’s designed to cushion impacts and prevent penetration (no pun intended? -Ed), protecting the ribs, lungs, heart and all the other organs in there.

Unlike the men’s protector however, the Dainese Thorax Pro Lady (the one with the straps) and the Dainese Thorax Lady are also designed not only to accommodate, but to protect breasts too. Sorry, fat dudes… The one with the straps will work underneath most jackets and leathers, but the strapless version is designed to attach to a Dainese back protector. Ladies, take it from us, your breasts are worth protecting!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Hey guys, it’s Jon here again with some cool Ducati news. Here, we have the 2010 Ducati 1198R Corse SE, recently debuted at the Milan EICMA show.

Already the flagship of the Ducati V-twin range, the new 1198R Corse Special Edition is 1kg (2.2lb) lighter thanks to the new factory team-style fuel tank, which also increases fuel capacity by 2.5 liters (0.66 US gal) to 18 liters (4.75 US gal).

Formed in 2mm thick aluminum, the tank is brush finished, clear-coated and topped off with the new Ducati Corse logo to maintain a factory race tank feel.

The 1198 R Corse comes in the red, white and black Corse Special Edition livery bodywork with the new aluminum fuel tank clear-coated for all to see. Damn, I want one!

Hi guys, welcome to another session of Essential Stuff! Today, i will be showing you my CHROME Citizen Messenger bag.

I should have reviewed this bag eight years ago when I first got it but Essential Stuff had yet to exist! So, after using it everyday for the past eight years, I think I’m pretty qualified to give it a decent review. Check it out!

I really can’t say anything bad about this bag. I have used it rain or shine everyday. From going to school to work, I have used it with every kind of outfit. It goes with anything!

It has kept my books and now my work documents dry in the worst of storms. i have even crashed in it before, and it has stood up to the fall. I don’t think anything short of a direct knifing to it could rip the strap or puncture the bag.

CHROME bags now come in all sorts of color combinations and sizes, so go and get one for yourself!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Hey guys, bad news for all you MV Agusta fans out there. MV Agusta’s much anticipated new mid-capacity supersport machine has been delayed due to the company’s imminent sale by Harley-Davidson.

The “95% finished” inline three-cylinder 800cc sports bike is, according to eye-witnesses, the most startling MV in recent years and can lap a track just a second off the current 1000cc F4.

An insider claims: “The bike started off as a 675cc but the capacity has now grown to somewhere between 750cc and 800cc. Prototypes have been testing on the road and the track.”

Now, however, development has slowed until new investment can be found. We were told: “This bike was due to go on sale at the end of 2010 or beginning of 2011 thanks to a lot of Harley-Davidson investment following the takeover of MV Agusta in 2008.

“Now development has slowed down because there is no more money to spend until a new buyer can be found.”

This is really too bad. The Daytona 675 needs a new buddy to compete with. The 675 vs. 848 vs. Gsxr750 has been done to death. Stay tuned for more updates.
