ALPINESTARS FASTER V3 AIRFLOW JACKET
As this issue goes to press, it’s looking like we might get a nice summer –time to break out the vented kit. This is the ‘Airflow’ version of the Faster V3 leather jacket so a bit more solid than a full mesh jacket. Usual A-stars protection of hard outer elbow and shoulder sliders, with Nucleon inner armour, and ready for your back and chest protectors or Tech-Air airbag fitting. Loads of stretch panels for comfort, zipped extra air vents on the side, and a waterproof inner pocket for your wallet. A smart leather sport jacket, available in black, white, yellow and red colour combos.

PYRAMID MOTO BODY PANELS FOR BMW R1300 GS
Some smart little protective extras for the BMW R1300 GS from British parts maker Pyramid: rear infill panels and oxygen sensor protectors. The rear aluminium panels fit behind the pillion pegs and divert more dirt and mud from the back wheel to protect you, your pillion, and your luggage. The stainless steel oxygen sensor plates bolt onto the engine and shield the expensive exhaust gas sniffers from impact and dirt.
