ON THE COVER
Laguna Seca Formula Xtreme winner Eric Bostrom is just one of many top riders in racing today that relies on Alpinestars safety gear. We traveled to the factory in Italy recently to see for ourselves how the products are designed, tested and manufactured. Kinney Jones Photo. Also, see page 82 in this issue for the full story about the 3rd annual International Speed Trials by BUB at the famed Bonneville Salt Flats. The BUB team was an active participant too, and made motorcycle history. Michael Lichter photo.
