Outside Magazine, September 2005

Outside Style: Commuter Chronicles
Rush-Hour Revolution
Workers, unite! Get dressed, gear up, and turn that commuter grind into a grand detour—you'll kick-start the day

THE MODE: The engine on BMW's F 650 GS motorcycle ($9,174) can survive a continent's worth of Interstate and slash through any city's mean streets. When the weather turns frozen, a power jack for a heated vest and heated grips will keep you riding long after the less well-equipped have started taking the bus. THE LOOK: Aviator sunglasses ($119) by RAY-BAN; lambskin jacket ($300) by BUSHNELL OUTERWEAR; cotton shirt ($43) and pants ($60) by NAUTICA; Torrance leather boots ($125) by TIMBERLAND.
