Moto in Vogue, bros

For some reason I can't get any photos to embed.
But this is too funny. New York fashion fussies putting on mx gear:
"There I was, clad in red, oversize motocross pants that were sliding down my hip bones and causing me to sweat profusely, helplessly watching the Citi Bike app as every last available bike slowly disappeared, whisked away by some guy with a visor helmet, pedaling off to his tech startup. Why was this happening to me? Because after Spring 2016’s major moto love (the X Games–influenced trousers made an appearance on the runways, ranging from slim-fitting silhouettes with a sliced-and-diced take on logomania at KTZ or cropped and padded at Vetements), I was tasked with giving the dirt-biking trou a test-drive. Sure, they looked chic on the catwalk, but I wasn’t wearing them for show: I would be cycling to work in the sporty breeches. (“A bicycle,” explained my editor later, “just seemed like the right touch of reality.”) And I wasn’t the only one taking the trend from the runway to the street: My coworkers and I had been clocking how some bike messengers had been styling the Tour de France–ready piece on the job, pairing bright orange star-emblazoned motocross pants with a reflector harness or even a simple black hoodie. It was an out-there look—and I wanted in."

Yah- slipdog, and tonight you'll spend an hour agonizing over 2016 colorways, and whether the orange or pink accents look best on your moto pants.

News alert settings, bro.

Remember this?:

In the 80s I was just out of high school and working in a clothing store. (Mostly because a bunch of girls worked there).
One day we got these "Life's a Beach" displays for the store and there was a pic of RJ in that get-up on his YZ250.
I was like "Wow, this is it! Moto is finally going mainstream and RJ will be a household name etc."
I guess that never really happened-- but you did have McGrath and Pastrana finally end up on the Tonight Show. Even RJ wasn't at that level of fame.
