Hi Ceren,
As you might have seen, the 2001 pics are not sorted (yet).
The jacket is an older model Rukka ( www.rukka.com ), right
now I have a newer model Rukka (RVP Pro jacket, I have a
pair of RVP Pro pants on order):

Rukka also has jackets especially for women as you can
see on the site. Rukka simply produce the world's best
motorcycle jackets and pants. They are expensive, but
always win every comparison test (just like Daytona boots)
and are always waterproof (if you wash it with gore-tex
detergent regularly, like other gear). They also offer
5 years of warranty on their gear. It's worth the
investment and they're cheaper in the long run. I only
have a mc and ride in every kinda of weather, so good 
gear is important to me. I've tried to go with cheaper
gear, but always end up dissapointed (and wet).

Also don't forget to check out the Motorisation gallery
in the motorcycle categorie, you'll love the Pyrenees,
the Alps... well everything. Did you like South Africa?

I'd love to go riding again around San Francisco,
especially direction north towards Oregon. I was lucky
to be able to borrow motorcycles, but in 2002 I was
not able to borrow 2 bikes in the same location. And
renting is way too expensive in the US. That's why
we decided (3 days in advance) to go to South Africa
instead. Renting (as well as food, accomodation etc)
is a lot cheaper there and it's also a paradise for
motorcyclists. Highly recommended! If anybody wants
tips or links for a motorcycle trip there, let me know.
