Motorcycle Ratings and Reviews
Motorcycling came before photography. At 16, I bought a Suzuki 80 “Street Trail” from my sister’s boyfriend. The next year I got a Kawi 350 Samurai. I rode that thing hard and was lucky to survive. Then I got a CB750 the second year they were out. I also started riding dirtbikes and raced motocross [...]

When we started REV’IT!, we wanted our own identity, so we created “Engineered Skin.” Manufacturing in the fashion industry is based on a two-dimensional drawing—you have a front and a back.

When you have Mat Mladin for a teammate, you get wound up pretty quickly. You think, “Someday, I’m going to have to fill those shoes.” Mladin and Ben Spies always rode so hard—hammer down every lap from the green flag to the checkers. I wanted to go, go, go, to put up the numbers that [...]
