Extreme Off-road

When was the last time you were overtaken with pure unbridled motorcycle excitement? Overcome in a state of complete rapture? Do you remember the bike that evoked the reaction?

Despite the valiant efforts of the Illinois Motorcycle Dealers Association, AMA Pro Racing and the Illinois State Fairgrounds staff, the final round of the AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Singles Championship was rained out Saturday night. A rain date has been set for Monday, September 7.

Light rain moved into the Springfield area about the time the riders started to unload for the day’s activities and despite a few lulls and a forecast of clearing, Mother Nature won the hard fought battle.

As they say, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!" With that imperative in mind, the design team at Scorpion skipped their Summer vacation in order to make sure that the all new women’s Fury jacket and matching Hellina pants were introduced and delivered in advance of the 2010 ScorpionExoWear collection!

Part of the extensive XDR (Xtreme Distance Rider) technical riding gear series, the Fury had to be functional first and foremost, but the style element certainly wasn’t overlooked.

There are times as a motorcyclist when Mother Nature is not your friend and you are confronted with rain, wind, dust, searing heat, freezing cold or worse. Thankfully, you can fight back, and one of the best reinforcements is quality gear.
