I am torn between:

Alpinestars Stunt Leather Motorcycle Jacket :: New Enough, LTD

In the black, or the grey.


And:

Alpinestars RC-1 Leather Motorcycle Jacket :: New Enough, LTD

In black.


I like the looks of the 2nd jacket, but think the "speed hump" on the back is a litte bit much for a streetfighter type bike, and also begs cops to take a look at you.....


Either of these three jackets will be mated to these pants in black....

I can't decide.... :lol:


What say you? :mrgreen:
 
The RC-1 is much cleaner looking. I'd go with that one.

I agree with you about liking the second jacket better but questioning the speed hump. What the heck is that for? That looks weird to me.

People think its for aerodynamics, It's actually to prevent your head from flinging back from the weight of your helmet in a crash....

The jacket you already have looks pretty sweet.


When are you going to take the training wheels off that thing? :2razz:

The Joe Rocket?

These are the Good Reverend's "training wheels" :mrgreen:

I ride too hardcore to wear something that is fashion first..... :lol:

if you can't look cool while you're riding a motorcycle, something has gone terribly wrong.

what's the padding in those ninja jackets made out of, Kevlar?

You can buy kevlar bike tire inserts, I bet I could pad the interior of a rocker jacket with kevlar using tree studs and make a pretty safe, and cool, jacket.

:lol: they have kevlar under suits, but they are itchy.....


If I had a speed triple, I'd have one of these:

The gear, should match the bike. :lol:

They both look nice, it doesn't matter either.

The real question is are you sure those trousers (leather no less!) will go with you? Aren't you a little old to be wearing tight bottoms? :O :2razz:

I ride very very fast. what I wear is my barrier between me and the street should I go down..... I prepare accordingly...


Plus I got a real nice ass. ;)
 
Are you into vintage scooters only or do you like the plastic ones as well?

I'm into what I can afford, which unfortunately at the time was only a Honda Metropolitan. It's a great bike though, light and great gas mileage. Mine was kitted out mod style with 8 mirrors. I loved that bike.

The thing about vintage scooters is that they're not really that great from a technical perspective, particularly considering that they often cost more then a pretty decent car.

But after my first DUI scare I sold it (actually I just gave it back to a friend and reactivated the debt it was being used to pay off). I have a vintage Schwinn single speed and a Surley fixed gear now. Bikes are much better in the city.
