I'll remind you that your posting something up for a guy that thinks his cool black leather jacket is much better than that worthless plastic gear sport bike guys wear.
done waste your time.. he's to stupid to get it.
dress for the crash, not the ride. if its to hot to wear the right gear. take a car.
I wear a similar cool black leather jacket, I'm sure. Its good for preventing road rash - I bet I could slide for forever and a day before it wears through. Really hope I don't fucking hit any curbs, vehicles, or other objects with a density greater than that of my bones, though.
But yeah, some nice approved padding would go a long way. The armor like serious riders wear would be to another level. I have been looking for a more neutral looking leather jacket with the padding, but so far all I've seen have been the hardcore sportbike looking shit.
But my expectations are unrealistic. I'd like to have a stylish leather jacket that breathes okay, is bulletproof, has good padding in it, and is decent to wear out when on the bike.
