Uhm, on the jacket thing....I saw a few comments about patches which I do not understand. I was looking at leather jackets and came across the ICON MOTO Vintage Leather Flattrack jacket (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...na-Jacket.aspx)
I ordered it (delivered to store for try-on) because I like it, no other reason. My question/concern is if I am going to be like....stepping on someone's toes or looked at as a TOOL (more than I guess anyone looks at anyone else that way normally) for having patches on the jacket. I am way past the point of caring what people think, but having been in the military for the past 21 years, I am sensitive to those who choose to falsely represent themselves as being part of a particular group, or unit. Should I have any concerns? BTW, I will take the advice and try it on sitting on the bike before I walk away with it - great idea, thanks.

i own an icon retro daytona flattrack in black. i bought it on ebay for a song and removed the skull patches (i thought they were cheesy) and the heart patch. it's a GREAT jacket, comfortable even slimming i would wear this thing around if it wasn't so heavy i look great in it... and you don't even notice the armor.
you'll love that jacket, i love my icon i just bought a schott perfecto too, i'll wear both depending on the mood i'm in, if i'm going to a bar or anything of the like where i could run into a club i would wear the plain black leather jacket so there are no misunderstandings.

Ok so I got my jacket from FoxCreek yesterday after ordering it on Monday. I think I am the only person that didn't listen to the woman on the phone when she tried to get me to order a large (I am just not that big, now if I had some fake ******* that would be a whole nother story) I ordered a medium. The jacket is absolutely beautiful!!! Sleeve length was perfect for my monkey arms! But alas I am long waisted and have apes on my bike so it was too short in the waist. And the tabs on the top of the shoulders made me feel like a football player 
Called FoxCreek today as they have another jacket of similar styling minus the tabs on the shoulders and it is made 2 inches longer. Told them I would be fedexing mine back and they said they would go ahead and ship the exchange today on the honor system! They have such a quality product and they back it with excellent customer service!
That is so rare today! I'll letcha know when the new one gets here.

Well this year the decision was between the bike or the *******.... I chose bike
Next year I am saving my money so that I can hit all the rallies with the girls in my club... If there is any extra the ******* may come!
I mean I am a 38C which isn't flat chested and when I wake up in the morning to stretch and move them around I am just not sure if I'd like the feel of fake ones.....lol

A really nice set around here cost maybe $5,000 but I am sure with my excellent bargaining skills and referral from my girls I could get them done for less
