Good to hear that it works so well...the women's model looks good too...my girlfriend bought that one yesterday when I got mine, and we don't have to put any patches on 'em

Yea...uh, that was a bad way to put that, wasn't it?  SHE'S the DIVA...mine has a MANLY MAN patch on it...a big 'ol V with wings..genuine HD.

You got me on that one...I'll have to be more careful with my sentence construction on here...nobody misses an opportunity to bust B$#@s  It's fun though, ain't it?   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] [smiley=drink.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

[SEULTRA]

Yeah, it is fun    Lot's of laughs to be had here. Never really doubted your Manly Man-ness but saw the opportunity and couldn't pass on it. Ride safe!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I second Fox Creek Leather. They don't have a big selection like the MOCO but they are american made and are a very high quality leather.

Their Vented Racing jacket is one bad ass jacket.

They got some of the best Chaps you'll find anywhere at any price too!!  Lee Parks deerskin gloves that they carry are great too, even after they get wet and dry out!! Great products at good prices...what more can you ask for? [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I notice no one has mentioned the fact the $85 mesh jacket has no armor, only the pockets for it. The armor comes in a pack of two and costs $35/pack, and you need two packs. So the $85 becomes $155 before you ever put it on.

Actually DW it was talked about. The Charcol and Black comes with armor but is $150 or $120 from CHD. But I agree with you about the nylon vs Cordura. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] If you buy a jacket that doesn't have HD on it you will save $$$$$$.

Check this site out for jackets, helmets and apparel.  Prices aren't bad online, but I bought my red Nitro jacket the last day of the GAM show and only paid $49 for it.  Think it's owned and ran by two women.

That's a given!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Yeah, anything with HD on it adds at least a 25% premium, but you gotta have a couple of things, even if you've got others that don't    Personally, the armour gets on my nerves, and I don't find it very comfortable...yes, we should all wear it...but when it's 90 degrees in Alabama I have to take my chances.  The mesh stuff works, but only if you're moving...guess something's better than just wearing a t-shirt, though I'll do that sometimes.  From a safety standpoint, we should never ride without full protective gear on, but sometimes it's just unbearable!!  

I think Cordura is a poly product too, and beleive me, if it's poly of any kind, it'll melt if you skid.

I do draw the line at shorts and flip-flops though

I thought everyone knew that "H-D" stood for "Hundred Dollars"? [smiley=confused5.gif]

This is sort of off topic for the jacket thing, but I read an interesting article the other day on motorcycle injuries.  The most common and most likely part of your body to be injured in a "typical" accident (if there is such a thing), not including your noggin', is your FEET.  Kind of makes sense though.  So, I have never...weeelllll, almost never  , ridden without some kind of boot on my foot, and one that will stay on.  Also gloves and at least jeans.  The Helmet thing is another topic...no doubt a full face provides maximum protection, and a lot of them are pretty well vented these days, but if it's a friggin' sauna in there, it's definitely worse than wearing something more comfortable but less protective 'cause you're going to be distracted.  So, on with the Shorty and t-shirt, but I've got to have the gloves and boots.

Like you said, everybody makes their own choices... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I hate to think about dressing to wreck.  A tee shirt is pretty comfortable right up until you go down.  I've been thinking about a light weight jacket for summer riding.  I received an email today with a jacket on clearance.  Any opinions on this one?  Here's a link:http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?model_ID=0&Category_ID=0&manufacturer_ID=61&product_ID=16461&sblid_name=First_Gear_Mesh_Tex___Jacket_with_Liner

There is another jacket shown down the page.  The Tourmaster Intake jacket looks like it might be good too (if you can wear something without it having HD on it).  Looks like they've got it in tall sizes too.
