ANDREW SMART is brains behind the Ricondi leathers brand here in Australia, and the Race and Road motorcycle gear business.

In this episode Andrew and Jorge chatted about all things associated with leathers and various aspects of motorcycle safety as it applies mainly to both track and street riders. They covered topics including leather versus textile, air bags, impact protection, helmets, and even Jorge’s tin foil hat conspiracy thought that Yamaha might be running an 850 already in MotoGP. Would be interesting to find out that was actually true.
