It's a good quality brand (Japanese company).

I'm not a fan of the lime green but a little bit of color is good for visibility when riding.

I've had my old gloves for over 5 years (don't remember exactly how long). They're pretty much used up...

Wore them a few times already.

They fit perfectly and do a very good job of damping the palms.

They're summer gloves though so not warm enough for anything less than about 60 to 65F...

Small precision Swiss made tweezers.

Can come in very handy at times...

There were a lot of late model cars that showed up.

Fewer "classics" than usual.

Maybe it was because it was pretty cold in the morning.

I just walk by the late model cars...

Although they're very nice, not very interesting...

Like the round lamps.

I think they're off some very cheap economy car from the 60s...

Great front end design.

The fog and spot lamps look good...

Pretty terrible bumpers...

A real RUF Turbo...

A lot of custom component all over the car, including the door trim, steering wheel, seats, gauges, etc.

Another scary engine bay for servicing...

The oval buttons and the airbag cover look cheap and not up to what you imagine to be Mercedes quality...
