In The Hot Suite
Way to go to our friend Laurel Allen, deputy editor of Road Racer X magazine, whos testing a prototype of a womens racing suit developed by Joe Rocket. She reports the suit fits and feels good. We think she looks great in it, too. She tells us, unfortunately, that unless distributors hear from dealers that there is a demand for such a suit, they dont see a need to have Joe Rocket invest in manufacturing it. Joe Rocket has done its part by developing a great suit. Now women riders need to make a lot of noise at their local dealers demanding they carry one-piece racing suits for women.

We wanted to remind people how much this gentle soul impacted our community and motorcycling, allowing them to learn more about something Pearl was passionate about, and the legacy she helped create.”
