He’s even featured in the promo materials when the second gen XSR900 was released in 2022. That’s him in the pic below atop the XSR900 next to his YZR500 GP bike.

My riding gear also has a French theme: my helmet is red, white, and blue and my riding jacket has accents in the same colors.

time they see me, I take their blood.

Also, Marceline is one of my favorite characters.

Sure! One of my Grandmothers is half French and Marceline is a French name.

I have a seat cowl and clip on bars from S2 Concept and a belly pan and nose fairing from Ermax, both of which are French companies.

The last three pics. The last pic is Marceline in a grocery store parking lot when I was on my way back home. I turned around for a look when I was walking away and had to snap a pic cause she looks so fly.

I have a Dainese Air Frame D1 jacket and armored riding jeans. Works great even in California 100F/37C temperatures.
