REAR EXIT VENTS--- Usually two zippered vents in rear of garment close to the underarm area. ---- Vents are zippered closed. ---- OR - a single rear vent across the back. ---- Rear vents are necessary to allow air to flow from a front venting source over the rider and out the back so as to prevent ballooning of the garment.
STREAMLINER COMPATIBLE--- There are two possible attachments for the STREAMLINER. One type is a snap-in - the other type is zip-in. The zip-in type has two zippers along the center front facings of a jacket. ---- THE STREAMLINER is a universal insulated removeable liner. It has removable sleeves and lace-adjustable sides. It is reversible - with a hi-visibility safety yellow interior. Insulation is a special Tyvek material Reflective strips cross the interior - so when reversed the garment is both hi-visibility yellow and reflective. Download the Fit Chart

Racing flat track is one of the most exciting motorcycle racing art forms, with roots going back over 100 years. Even early machines could get going pretty fast. Stopping was a different story... that evolved over time. Board racing, Wall of Death events, beach racing, and racing on dirt tracks are all early variations of the flat track sport. Dirt tracks for harness racing were common at fairgrounds throughout America. So, what could be more natural than substituting a motorcycle for a horse and having a race? Of the many old forms of racing, flat track continues in more or less the same form.

Some things change; today the bikes are tremendously more powerful and faster, speeds of 100+ mph are normal. Some things stay the same; no front brakes, on dirt, handlebars touching, sliding around with a foot down on the track for balance... with a steel shoe on your boot to keep the sole from ripping off. Some people call this an unnecessary risk. We think of it as being heroic in a mundane world.
