I know it's no fun to keep buying new clothing, but the reason for it somehow sort of makes up for your financial pain/challenge
I'm lucky I guess, I have been the same size for what seems forever...
I do though have to figure out the best way to wash my Olympia jacket
The challenge is the front shoulders and forearm areas that have the textured hi-tech fabric
I want to take the power washer to it, but I'm afraid even the lowest pressure and softest nozzle will be too aggressive
The bugs seems to get implanted into the texture and I hate to put it in the washer over and over and over
I'm thinking maybe a good water soaking to soften them up and then some quality time with a soft toothbrush followed by a good rinse with the garden hose
But overall, all I can say is thanks because all the gear you have helped me buy is wearing wonderfully
Oh, and the gloves, the Held with Kangaroo leather, they have proved to be flatout awesome, not too thick and restrictive, and after all the years of no gloves, even the open air design have proven to be plenty warm in cooler temps, and not at all too hot on the hottest of days

Reigning MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez has signed a new two-year contract to remain with Honda. In his debut season last year, the 21-year-old Spaniard won the title on his Repsol Honda bike. He currently tops the standings by 28 points, ahead of team-mate Dani Pedrosa, having won all four races from pole position this term. "I'm glad to remain with this special group of people for another two seasons," said Marquez. "I had always dreamt about being part of the Repsol Honda Team and, thanks to Honda, the dream came true a year-and-a-half ago." "Everything happened very quickly last season and I would have never imagined that I could achieve what we did." Honda executive vice president Shuhei Nakamoto added: "We are very satisfied to have reached an agreement to keep Marc in the team for a further two seasons."
