House (Hugh Laurie) Bike
« on: December 28, 2007, 12:50:09 PM »
While watching a repeat of episode when House gets a bike. I recall someone posting a comment about the jacket he wore. Is possibly a FirstGear Earl Leather Jacket.  Bike is possibly the Repsol Honda CBR1000RR.

I spent a lot of time trying to find the jacket and it seems it comes from the production companies central wardrobe. It is a similar cut to Aero Leathers Cafe Racer jacket http://tinyurl.com/2nubyq With the addition of the arm bands and breast patch which changes in different scenes.
The bike is a Honda / Repsol replica of uncertain vintage love the show and Hugh Lauri's characture

I guess you have to be really subtle with the throttle on wet pavement with those bikes, or you'll just be spinning all over the place, probably horizontally.  That's according to the parts guys at my local BMW dealership (which is called Salem Honda, dunno why....) who ride them.  

If only I weren't so sensible.

 Probably like Wild West Honda in Houston (oops, excuse me, Katy, TX). They're both BMW and Honda dealers.
