Title: What have you bought lately ?
Post by: kballowe on February 03, 2023, 05:21:33 AM: We bought new jackets.

It appears that the armor has sorta disintegrated in this seven-year-old Joe Rocket jacket. They replied to my email query with "this is common on older riding gear", and recommended that I replace the jacket.

So yes, we bought new jackets. Meh, the zippers were getting testy, anyway.

Post by: Chuck in Indiana on February 03, 2023, 06:36:20 PM: My SoCal gloves gave out, so went to the local Cycle Gear. They had a 3 foot cube of close out, discontinued, etc. gloves. Rummaged around in there and finally found a pair of Sedici "race" gloves just like I paid big bucks for a few years ago, and have held up *really* well. Just my size. White. That's probably why they didn't sell and I don't care what color they are. :smiley: :thumb: Some days you get the bear.

I strapped them onto my C-bow mounts and they look good. No picture yet.
Cut a piece of 1/8 inch plywood to square up the bottom.
Not as functional or water resistant as my hepco-becker, but hold everything for local riding.

I like the ole school angle zip, Marlon Brando type jackets. I’ve got a 1984 model Schott that I bought new in 84. It still wears great and fits like it did then.

Thanks, Danny. This jacket is a Dallas Leathers by Chrome Specialties, nice leather with all brass hardware. Probably mid 80’s, not certain. I got my old jacket at a pawn shop about 5-6 miles from here a long time ago, back when the pawn shops weren’t all franchised. I know it’s not the armored ATGATT-approved version, but I’m still happy to have it. I love the way old brass looks and it sure feels good to wear.

it’s all waxed up and ready to ride, whenever the clouds et all finally clear. Someday…

Shorty -

The Cycle World dyno says 17.7 horsepower. Your bike is modified, and so I make it to be at least 20 horsepower. Be should be especially careful of whiplash....
