Mark has a lifelong motorcycle history. Growing up in Southern California he raced motocross at Saddleback Park and Carlsbad as well as the Barstow to Vegas desert race twice. After raising two kids he decided to take up road racing on a RC51 and is no stranger to track crashes.

Like many including myself when I first began riding, I had no issues spending money on a jacket. Back in the day how it ‘looked’ seemed more important to me than how much protection it offered. Textile riding gear was not a big thing and the only company who ‘seemed’...
