Hello,

I was wondering what everyone thought of the ICON Riding Jackets, Burner, Dead Man's Hand, Skull. Does anyone own these jackets and what do you think?

Thank You,

VJTAZ 02CVOG3

I'm one for Hawaiian style shirts and T shirts but I think these look awful. Not my cup of tea at all, then again I prefer the traditional leather jacket for style and protection - sorry if it's not what you want to hear.

We must be honest with our selves, I have always been a loud individual.

Ride On.

Hi Vj - Enjoy, on me it it would accentuate what is already a "big belly"

They do have an all black version with just Icon name raised. What they said about the one pictured but the all black one is pretty BA.

Just my $.02

Well I have the original but I guess that makes me original.

Got the Helmet to boot, still new at this and got what I thought was cool.

Nice bike mate - now that's cool

I wear a sport bike style jacket myself. It takes some getting use to.

Here it is having my name sewn on it.

I like the colors.

You need to show more pictures of it.

A pic of what mine doesn't look like anymore. I slid up the road with mine on and it is now rashed, adds character!

That's a nice looking jacket I could go for something like that.

Not for me.... but remember... you have to wear it, so if you like it... go for it!

Knowing the way you feel you have to admit it has one thing going for it..... No MoCo insignia/advertisement.

Smiler,
Sorry this Okinawa 13 hour lag is not good for quick replies...BA...Bad Arse!!

Seegarz

Here are 2 other options from Icon Accelerant and Accelerant Stealth

Seegarsmkr · « **Reply #18 on:** May 12, 2007, 10:54:54 PM »

...and the Stealth

Smiler · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 2007, 05:27:56 AM »

Hi Seegar - thought you'd forgotton me.
Those jackets you posted are as you say BA. Are they a bomber type jacket? they look great for the summer, are they wind/rainproof?

Seegarsmkr · « **Reply #20 on:** May 13, 2007, 07:55:59 AM »

Smiler,
They are actually vented leather. Sport style with protection/pads. They will protect you from the wind...and road as much as any...but rain...not so sure...the cows may think so but I wouldn't think so much. They sure do look nice, though,
IMHO.

absolutely Seegar!

I think that jackets are like scoots, get what YOU like, and make it your own, and screw the rest of us.

Hey SEEGARSMKR, you going to be in OKI for long? I'm heading there later this year.

Sorry KoolJ,
I am actually going halfway across the world the other way...headed to Germany. I leave here in July/August...still waiting to hear. Are you planning on staying long and bringing that awesome beast you have? If so beware of the choral dust and salt water. There are places here that teflon coat bikes and that helps a ton, but there are not many garages around here (though there are some) and in the summer the typhoons (in the US we call them hurricanes) can rally do some damage. The houses are all build to withstand the weather but unless you plan on parking in the living room (not a bad idea) it may be problematic. You don't happen to play ice hockey do you?!!!!
