4. Great review on a pair of Hood Jeans that protected the rider and survived to be washed and worn another day...

   Posted on 10:00am Tuesday 26th Apr 2016

   Dear Sirs

   I thought you would appreciate the picture and feedback for your website. 

   I bought a pair of Hood Jeans 3 years ago when I started biking and have worn the same pair every single day for work. I was recently knocked off by someone doing a u-turn in front of me while I was filtering. I went flying over the handlebars and landed on my bum (as you can see in the picture!). My bike was wrecked, my backpack ripped, helmet smashed and I automatically thought my jeans were ruined as well. On returning home I gave them a wash. Due to their high quality they didn't have any serious damage and I'm still wearing them as I type this. They are definitely a top quality product!

   Regards,

   British made motorcycle jeans at a very competitive price, with a high level of service.

   The Hood K7 jean was one of the first motorcycle jeans launched in the UK and has become one of the best and most respected on the market.

   
   

5. Honda and DJ Carl Cox to thrill at Isle of Man TT for third straight year

   Posted on 7:41am Friday 22nd Apr 2016

   – Due to ongoing success, the Honda TT Revolution returns for its third year   
   – Gives aspiring DJs the chance to open for Carl Cox at TT closing party
   – Pan-European competition in partnership with Mixcloud

   Aspiring DJs will once again have the opportunity to open for legendary DJ Carl Cox, one of the world’s most successful DJs, as the Honda TT Revolution returns to the Isle of Man for an unforgettable week of motorcycle racing and music.

   Last year’s event saw TT Revolution ambassador Carl Cox headline a sold-out closing party, concluding an epic week of racing that culminated in Honda’s John McGuinness claiming the outright lap record, his seventh Senior TT victory, and 23rd career TT win.

   Honda Motor Europe continues its partnership with Mixcloud – an online music streaming service that allows listening and distribution of radio shows, DJ mixes and podcasts – and fans will able to upload a short mix of their own making for a chance to share the stage with Carl at the closing party, after the Senior TT on Friday 10 June.

   To be in with a chance of stepping behind the decks, entrants must submit an original mix encouraging their friends and fans on social media to share, listen and like. The more likes and listens a mix receives, the higher the chance of the mix being selected by our panel of judges, before Carl himself, selects his favourite.

   To enter and submit your competition mix go to Mixcloud here

   The lucky winner and one guest will be flown out to the Isle of Man on the penultimate day of the TT races as a Honda VIP where they will be able to witness the world’s greatest road race in all its glory, before opening the closing party and sharing the stage with Carl Cox.

   Last year’s competition was a huge success, reaching more than 15,000 music enthusiasts from across Europe, with the bulk of entries coming from the UK, Portugal and Italy.

   “I’m excited to once again be part of the Honda TT Revolution, which is now in its third year,” explains Carl Cox – who himself is a bike and racing fan. “The TT race is an experience like nothing else, and is something everyone, including non-bike fans should get along to one year. The Honda TT Revolution combines two of my biggest loves, music and bikes, and is a great opportunity for aspiring DJs to experience something completely different, whilst doing something they love.”

   The Isle of Man TT is a motorcycle race steeped in history with over 100 years of drama filled, exhilarating racing, held over 37.73-miles of the Island’s picturesque streets and mountain roads.

   The Honda TT Revolution closing party will take place at Tahiko, Douglas on Friday 10 June. Tickets will be on-sale from May through Resident Advisor.
