Favorite Riding Jacket?

[RK101]

Can't believe I'm going to say this because I usually don't buy squat in the line of cloths from a H/D dealer but I did buy a very nice Nylon/Cadora, Vented/Armored jacket from them. Did I mention it was on sale.

I've seen the same ones without the High Dollar logo for 1/2 the price at a local indie bike shop. The gray jacket, right RK? Those look pretty good, and the functional design is great.

I guess I just have a problem giving my regular local stealer a nickel of my cash...especially after I made an offer on a bike the other day, and the GM thought he was going to be a comedian by raising the price by $1,000. Screw them-I'll never spend another penny there, and refer all of my friends somewhere else. Sorry for the off track rant...

John the one I have is black and it does have the H/D Logo on the back. It a small logo though, not something that takes up the whole back of the jacket and makes you a Walkin ,Talkin ,Ridin H/D billboard. It sure isn't something you would want to wear in the winter around here, well maybe on not to cold of a day and a heated liner.LOL  For the spring, summer, and fall it's just a nice jacket with lots of vents and pocket and it's not heavy. I was kind of looking for a lighter jacket but not looking to seriously. This thing just kind of jump off the rack and onto my back. The SOB caught me off guard at a week moment when the price was right and I had the $ in my pocket.
I did do a trip up to Maine and the New England states this last past summer and on the highways I wore the jacket quite often and at the end of the day my old azz didn't seem so beat up from the wind and sun. I'm still amazed that I found a good deal at a Harley Dealer. Who'd a thought.

I found a fxrg BUFFALO jacket, at a local dealer,,1/2price --plus an extra 15%off,,,it was an xxxx large and he had it for 3yrs,I guess someone ordered it and did'nt buy it.....Anyway I bought it and started call'in every dealer on the east coast,and I found one that would exchange it for a xx large....Then I found one who took that one,,and ordered me a large....It weighs about 47pounds,and the liner isnt very warm,,its all beat up from 5yrs of non-stop use,,,,But I love it.

i bought a "schott" (new york city) leather with zip out liner m/c jacket over ten years ago. i've never cleaned it or even brushed it and its held up very well, hot, cold, wet and dry!!

Hey John, you're not talking about the Crystal River stealership are ya?

I bought the Stealers First yrs edition of the transformer jacket.
It is a textile jacket with pannels that zip out. It has padding in the shoulders and elbows , but the back padding was extra. It also comes with a nylon plastic rain liner for when it decides to get wet, but here on the west coast it is hard to adjust to wet and warm or wet and cold.
I like it.
You might find a good deal on an FXRG jacket that someone has either outgrown or has sold thier ride for what ever reason. I know I have seen one or two in the swapmeet section you might be able to pick up for a little less than half price and hardly worn.
Ride Safe,

Steer clear of this jacket... take a look at their detailed photo and zoom in.  It's made up of a bunch of small leather scraps that are stiched together like patch work.  Looks ugly and won't hold up like a jacket made of larger pieces of leather.  Also if you zoom in on the tag... "Made in China".  Chinese tanning process are known to suck.  This is not a jacket that will last.
