Might as well post this here too While we're talking about them, does anyone have an experience with the Icon Accelerant leather jacket? I currently have a textile that I love, but my brother is going to start riding, and I figured I'd give it to him. http://tinyurl.com/ys9r9q

Wow, maybe I'll forgo the leather, I just found a sweet Cortech textile jacket.

Those pads only provide impact protection on your knees. Wait, you're telling me that thick composite/whatever plastic won't be better for abrasion resistance than leather? I think I would rather have my knees dragging on concrete in those than a set of leather pants.

Check it out, the mailman brought me some sweet schwag today    The Cortech jacket is loving AWESOME. It fits perfect, and has so much more than my other jacket. The waterproof front closure and removabe liner are really nice, as well as the leather covered forearms. The elbow pads in this also extend down the forearm, and are grooved to fit your arm so they don't really move around. To go with the interior CE armor, it also has exterior shoulder armor as well as an integrated back protector. Next up is boots and those Bionic knee guards  Edit: Oh, and I need a new helmet. I have an HJC CS-12 I got last season, and there seams to be a nagging air leak coming from somewhere. This caused me to get poo poo forced into my eye, and now it's all red and irritated. This is the second time this has happened, are there any helmet skirts that I can get for the CS-12 to help this? I went down and tried on helmets, and like the Scorpion Exo700, but the fit felt the same as my HJC, and I've heard they are loud. The HJC CS-SP looked like a really nice helmet, but I'm afraid it will have the same problem. Any suggestions? TurboLuvah fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Apr 2, 2007 |

Recieved my Exo 700 today, and the anti-fog visor rocks my socks  My HJC CS-12 would fog just by looking at it, nothing on this one. The only thing that is still driving me absofuckinglutely crazy is wind leaks. I used my hand to cover the area under my chin, no more wind in my eyes. So I went ahead and ordered the Scorpion chin skirt, anyone know how it installs?Also, I'm pretty sure every helmt without a skirt I have worn has had problems with wind in that area under the chin, does this happen to anyone else or am I a wierdo? I think they should ship the helmet with one from the factory

I am looking for a specific motorcycle jacket, and I can't find it anywhere, as I don't think they make it anymore. I tried to snag it on NewEnough at closeout for $45, but the Large doesn't fit right in the chest so I sold it to a buddy. If anyone has any or any leads where I can get a Joe Rocket Meteor 4.0 in Men's XL in Gray/Red/Black, I'll pay a finder's fee
