Glad you posted that Swat II. I think I may actually pick up a vest. I like that one a lot.

I got one too

It's usually rolled up in the saddlebag, always with me and doesn't take up much room.

My problem; My son is 6' 5" and still growing. He'd like one but can't find a 'tall' size. He looks funny in most we've seen. You tall guys, what brands can you recommend? Thanx.

Ha! OMG..... Back in the mid 90's I was riding with a certian high profile 1%er club. And as I have said more times than I can remember..... I invented, and was doing that style before ANYONE! Yah, me! I just can't tell you how many times I almost came to blows with people, back in the day, who BUSTED MY *** about my white Rebook tennis shoes. Back then you just HAD TO WEAR engineer or cowboy style boots. But decades later.... Who really cares? My cool a$$ style..... just caught on. Lol.

Love the vest...

During the cooler months, I always wear my Oxblood Street Steel leather jacket but when it starts getting too warm for that I go back to my leather vest over a light mesh jacket.

Bought mine 2 years ago at Bikefest in Phoenix for $100. They had dozens of different styles to choose from. Mine is nice and soft, decent zipper with CCW pockets. Yep, have a few patches... American flag over my heart, US Army Veteran on the right and an HD patch across the shoulders on the back.

The only other patches are a small Super Glide down low on the left, on the right "Are we going to ride or are we going to dick around all day?" Had to buy that one when I saw it and it made me laugh out loud. My bride said "No" to "it's only kinky the first time you do it". I have one more to add, the Iron Butt patch from my first IB ride last October, just haven't figured out where to put it.

Yeah well....You were a decade late, The white sneaker thing started in San Jose in the mid 80's and was kicked off by a San Jose Mercury News photo of a Club member wearing white sneakers on his motorcycle.

I knew the guy very well (He has since passed away) and know when and where the photo was taken.
