No, no. Not a Red Bull rep at all. Actually more of a Full Throttle energy drink man myself. But I've got a red bike, and am a Taurus. So couple that with the fact that everyone accuses me of being a "Bull in a China Shop" I figure that would be a good way to view things when I'm on the road riding and fending off insane cabby cagers of NYC. I guess my tendency to lose my temper and quickly blow a fuse adds to it too. But, some of the cab drivers are really huge a$$holes.
The Red Bull jacket just fits with the theme of my bike and the Bx stands for my borough of the Bronx, NY.

I'm sure santos77 was wearing a redbull jacket for yesterday's ride that would just match your bike about perfectly....
Really? What'd it look like? I've got this one in black and have seen the one in blue online. But they're both European jackets with that tiny Euro cut and funky zippers. Would love to find a domestic jacket made by Joe Rocket or someone that may prove to be a bit more comfortable.
If I wasn't such a wuss about my wrists (multiple sports injuries), I would probably CBRs better. As it is, my throttle wrist pops every time I twist it on my Interceptor... so I think that is about as extreme of a riding position as I can take for more than 30 minutes.
Anyway, props on the bike! It is really sharp.

Are you sure you are getting the right size Jacket? I'm not exactly tiny, and I've found some to fit me over here. Motorcycling is such a way of life over here that you can walk into a leather shop and have them custom - make you an armored leather jacket with racing colors (Like red bull) on it.
It's nice still having family-run businesses!!
