the best racing leathers would have to be kenny roberts on a yamaha(black and yellow) or bubba shobert on a honda. both won everything on dirt and went on to win world championships on pavement. there are no harley riders that can compare to these two. sorry!!

I have to laugh at all the posen rubs that talk smack from a keyboard, say'n what's a fashion statement and what is not. Most of them don't even wrench their own bikes, and are the first to say how MOCO is screwing them over.

Check your PM's I'll send you a Jacket similar to that one..........

Shoot I wear whatever I feel like, and don't give a hoot what others think or say about it...................They ain't float'n none of my bills...........Oh! wait a minute yes they are, they are pay'n for my ride with their hard earned tax dollars, as I am 100% DAV and could give a Rat's *** what they think.

Where do I begin..........

Kenny Roberts lost his crown to the XR-750 in 1975....Kenny climbed aboard his TZ-750 in attempt to keep his title and still lost....The 4-cyl,
I-4 couldn't make the turn at speed without hitting the fence....

It was fast for sure, but going that fast on a dirt oval had no meaning then and still does not today!!!!!

I like the jacket, and as I have a XR, I quess it's okay to wear it. When I examined one up close though, I noticed the the very poor ink job done on the red/gray blocks and the words "racing" and "performance". It just looks cheap.
The graphic designs are cool, the patches are cool, the attempt at a "faded" look on those blocks just looks fake and cheesy. And that is too bad because the overall design appeals to some of us that remember stuff like this from the 70's: an over the top retro-style throwback. There is room in this world for more than one kind of jacket. If the price drops down to the bargin bin range I might still get one, and see if the ink can be removed or covered over.

I wasn't being sarcastic at all, I love the XR and I think the jacket looks good. But I like my looser fitting horsehide jacket for just cruising. If I won the lottery tomorrow the next bike I would buy would be an XR, just looks like a fun bike, I would mod it into a real nice racer, and that jacket fits the XR real well.

Dont let anyone get to you.People can say anything they want and it doesnt make it so. You generally are a pretty mild mannered dude it seems....would say always but after this....gotta say generally lol
Seriously, out of everyone in here, as far as i can tell/as much as its possible to tell, i think you have the most nerve out of everyone here including myself. I dont know why you do what you do but thats your call. I know where youre at and i hope you watch yourself real close. Do not get caught sleeping.As i understand it its getting worse.I personally have alot of respect for you and like i said i think most likely you got more nerve than anybody here.


i forgot whathis post was about...a jacket? if so its only gay if youre wearing it while having sex with a dude. If so its definatly gay.
