Title: New colors for Rossi
Post by: Wolverine on June 06, 2008, 08:11:07 AM
In Barcelona Rossi will race with new colors, to celebrate the beginning of the Euro 2008 Cup of soccer... Aldo Drudi designed the bike and the leather suit (that I still need to see it, as they said it's pretty weird, the reproduction of someone's jersey from the Italian soccer team...)

Cool!  I like!  [beer]  Looking forward to seeing the leathers and to seeing what he's got up his sleeve for the helmet.  [laugh]

Correct.. also wearing socks.  Check out the legs on his leathers.   Looks like blue socks with black boots.  The paintscheme on the bike is pretty slick.

Notice Rossi's dog on the back of his seat is holding a football.  Cool tweak.

Like the bike, but those leathers look like someone with a bad rash or sunburn in shorts  [puke]

Maybe a better skin tone color would've worked
