From my son. I quit riding two and a half years ago. Got the bug again and bought a new Road Glide. Ordered a jacket online and it didn't fit quite right.


My son then told me he found my old jacket in his closet. I must have given it to him when I sold the Heritage. It fits like a glove.


I bought it at Chapperal in San Bernardino in 1997. I went back there trying to find the same jacket last week but they had nothing similar.


Thank you son.

LOL Yep. When my old faded out brown bomber I have had for many years finally started coming apart, I paid $150 for a Biker Essentials jacket made in Pakistan. Good, heavy, well made leather that's just now starting to get broken in well.


But, whatever fries yer chicken I guess. If you have the kind of money to spend on it, go for it!


Edit: Guess I should add that I bought the jacket at a local indy shop.

The kids making the jackets in Pakistan are saving up to move to the US and make jackets there. One has to wonder how many "American" workers are making the jackets in the US sweat shops.

Really was looking at the HD pitlane jacket (w/ the orange stripe).....but the lack of back armor really deterred me. I ended up getting a Roland Sands Enjo Jacket - BEST decision ever. Great quality leather, full armor, breaks in perfectly and loooooks SLICK. I'm VERY impressed and happy I bought it. Had a ton of reservations but damn. What a jacket.

I don't understand why people carry guns when they ride. I'm pretty sure it's only to look and feel cool.
