Joanne turns the second half of Hundred Money into a rich-person fitting appointment with actual consequences. Robin gets steered toward Shoei, Revit, Dainese and Alpinestars plus gloves that don't punish his hands for existing. He and Joanne agree that fitment, rider posture and seasonal tradeoffs matter more than whatever price tag makes Brian laugh. Brian gets an FJ09 prescription next, Joanne keeping it upright for touring without pretending a mild forward lean is a La-Z-Boy. Arai Regent and XD5 helmets, Revit Echelon and Tornado suits, Expedition/SMX boots and Held short-finger gloves are all mapped for body shape instead of hope. Kangaroo palms, two chamber Gore Tex gloves and hot wet weather choices make the wallet nervous for all the right reasons. As for history, Robin sits down with Mr. Nevin Ledford to hear the tale of a two-wheeled heirloom. His 1971 BSA Thunderbolt 650 has "Uncle Eddie memories", four decades under garage junk, a terrible drum brake and a son who once lived deep in the BSA/Triumph world. The bike more than matters because the story stayed in the family, a rare restoration spec no parts fiche can fake.
