Did you know that you couldn’t buy genuine and official Red Bull clothing without the ‘Kini’ name on it, neither did we? The ‘Kini’ part relates to Heinz Kinigadner, so go to www.kini-rb.ca for the full, and quite sad, story.

This genuine Red Bull outfit is primarily designed for the enduro type rider, or anyone who likes the Red Bull colours. They’re both super strong and the sleeves come off the jacket for the ‘macho-man’ image, and the pants turn into shorts, if that’s your thing?

RAD Moto is the only dealer to carry the Kini Red Bull stuff in SA and you’ll be pleased to know that if you buy any of these products a donation will be made to www.wingsforlife.com, which is a good thing to say the least, and thoughtful.

Price: Adventure jacket R3,750  Competition pants R3,249. Only available from www.radmoto.co.za so buy today and support a good cause.  

This fetching piece of aluminium fits directly onto the 2013 liquid-cooled BMW R 1200 GS and also the new 2014 R 1200 GS Adventure version, which is nice. We know this because it fits on the right hand side (older versions on the left).

Two Brothers stuff is made in the USA and increases horsepower when fitted, a bit, and more importantly sounds much better than the standard Euro muffled shite.

This ‘slip-on’ also has a fancy magnesium end cap and removable baffle insert, which obviously goes into the bin, unless you hold regular kiddies choir practice at your home?

We think this is one of the coolest looking helmets to ever come out of the Arai stable, mainly because of the fantastic graphics depicting Donington Park circuit on one side and Silverstone GP circuit on the other, and of course the Union Jack across the forehead – says Bill.

The RX-7 is Arai’s top of the range racing helmet, hence the GP label. It offers supreme protection and ventilation and known to be one of the best helmets in the world.

There’re only a few of these special limited edition lids available, so you’ll have to be as quick as Leon Haslam if you want one, which Bill isn’t.

It’s getting a wee bit chilly out there, so why not keep yer ‘brain-holder’ warm by buying and wearing one of these new 2014 Alpinestars caps?

These are just eight of the new designs but even more are arriving as we type. They’re all in their classic design, which means large peak, large forehead panel and some even have the ‘truck driver’ style rear, meaning they have a highly ventilated mesh backing, if you know what we mean - clip-on pony tail is an optional extra?

Of course you can wear them peak forward or peak backward style, for the full on ‘dodgy youth’ image. Expensive, but they are the best quality caps out there.
