"Why is it" when I ride down the road , I see metric bikes with matching armored jackets and full face helmets. When I go into there shops I see lines and lines of protective gear that’s CE approved and it tells you how many jewels of protection the armor has. They have nice protective undergarments and leather, textile and mesh "armored " gear in many colors.
So "why is it" when i walked into my home town harley shop and ask the salesman to help me find a "armored perforated leather jacket " that he gazes at me with a weird look and stated. QUOTE - ARMOR ? THEY PUT ARMOR IN JACKETS ? WE HAVE THE 08 HARLEY PRINT JACKETS WITH THE HARLEY EMBLEM ON THEM. I took the time to explain about protective armor installed into the elbows , shoulders and the back for crash protection. He laughed and said quote -WE CANT EVEN GET RED OF THE DOT APPROVED HELMETS LET ALONE ARMORED JACKETS.
"Why is it" in the highway patrol crash analysis brochure you can pick up at any HP office, that the largest growing fatality rate among motorcycles are Harley riders 40 and over ? "Why is it " that Harley riders with the "BAD A*S ATTITUDE and I don’t need no protection are the very one’s that sustain 45% more injures and almost all sustain head trauma from the lack of approved helmet use.
"WHY IS IT" it has become more popular to take a chance on your life to be considered "COOL" rather than being a good example and ware protective gear ?
"WHY IS IT" Were beginning to look like the fool in the motorcycle community ?

And "WHY IS IT" they call us names like fools? You need to go ride your metrics and leave us HD riders alone. This is the second thread I've seen like this in the past month and the last time it was a chick bad mouthing us. Gets tiresome.

It's weird that they didn't have any armor jackets. Going to any of the HD dealers around here they have the FXRG jackets, plus I've seen this:

True, Harley makes a LOT more non-armored branded riding clothing, but I think that's the image. That being said, I chose to get a non-Harley branded armor jacket since I had a lot more choices that way.

OldFenderGuy said it perfectly, nothing to add

Nothing personal, but 'why is it' that people worry so much about what others wear while riding.
Adults should be mature enough to make their own decisions when dealing with protective equipment (or lack of such).
I don't tell anyone what I feel they 'should wear', and I expect the same in return.
