RIDE/icon elsinore boots

It's about that time of the year when I take that last ride before filling the gas tank with Sea Form and placing the battery on a tender only to fill the air with the low hum of electricity and provide the battery with a steady stream of nutrients while awaiting the world around me to unthaw. 

I know...she's old, the bike that is, but she's mine and I can't bring myself to replace her. She even bares the scars of the tough times we've been through. Although temperamental at times, she is still true to me. So I keep her and each time I pull back the choke, turn the ignition key and press the starter and the loud roar of the engine rings in my ears I still smile like it was the first time we met. 

Remember, safety first kids...although, you don't see it in the pics, I do wear a helmet whenever I ride.

LUCKY RIDE/lucky strike motorcycle jacket

So after being hit with at least a foot of snow about a week ago. It's over 60 degrees and the roar of motorcycle engines are now in the air as people prepare their bikes for the hopes of good weather and another amazing riding season...which reminds me, it's time to crank up the 'ol girl...as it's about that time to ride again!

THE WASTELAND/icon elsinore boots

 I bought these boots because they reminded me of Mad Max and in this outfit, I feel like an honorary member of the MFP patrolling the wasteland.

ROAD WARRIOR/icon elsinore boots

I stumbled upon these boots while searching for a pair of vintage MX boots. These were such a great re-hash of the vintage style that I was looking for and I finally broke down and bought them. The Elsinore boot under ICON's One Thousand line is a serious boot! I like the metal heel plate and buckles, the stamped leather shin has replaced the metal shin plate of yesterdays MX boots. If you haven't seen ICON's One Thousand line, it's definitely worth a look...it's as if someone has finally seen the beauty in the wasteland...thank you Mad Max.

Motorcycle helmets are a great prop. I like seeing an editorial spread using a motorcycle helmet...there's something very futuristic about it. Case in point; next time you see a sci-fi movie I guarantee the soldier or security force in the movie will be wearing a motorcycle styled helmet. Hell, they may even just be wearing a straight up motorcycle helmet...Equilibrium anyone? An awesome movie by the way.

The motorcycle pants and shirt are from H&M. I really like the washed denim and finishing of these jeans. They have this rough and rugged look that I love. The shirt has this red inside lining along the color giving it this great contrast against the grey. Perhaps in a later post I'll give a better look at it.

The boots are washed leather by Bruno Bordese. These boots are so great, they deserve a post of their own. Stay tuned ...

CYCLE TECH/tumi tech messenger

This look reminds me of a spread I saw in an issue of Surface Magazine. I just remember how the stylist dressed up the typical casual look of a motorcycle jacket. Sure, the Surface spread used Armani motorcycle style leather jackets and Ducati motorcycles, but here's my interpretation. The credit should go to Amanda who thought that dressing this jacket up would be cool. I was surprised to hear her suggest this because she doesn't even like this jacket. To be honest this jacket has been hanging up in my room for a while now waiting for me to ride my bike again one day. I have been in one of those never ending project modes, you know the type...the ones where you have this great idea to work on something, but it just never happens. But, if anyone tells you that you can't make 1/4 inch bright green leather look good...tell him or her it's just not true! All you need is a great button down and a Tumi messenger bag and you're set.
