Well, 15 pages of Real Harley Riders telling you to wear what you're comfortable with. Guess you have your answer. It's not about what anyone thinks. It's about riding what you want...how you want it! $crew the a$$hole!
BTW, there are some great options to consider in terms of summer protective jackets. While not as protective as leather, there are a number of good armoured mesh jackets to consider. I wear a Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 jacket, which does come in just black to match your helmet if you want. Personally, I prefer High Res Yellow, so as to be seen! As you can see, I am not personally concerned either for image...Safety first, seriously...
I wear the same jacket, except mine is white/black instead of hi-viz/black. I actually wanted the hi-viz jacket but it was back ordered so I opted for the white. Great jacket.

Same issue here actually, back ordered 4-6 weeks I was told, I just ended up being lucky enough to find one new that was still available on Ebay, for a great deal less than my dealer too :-)

I have only ridden one year and have 3 different kinds depending on my mood. I have a FF I bought right off and when I felt more relaxed and confident I did by a Vanity but only used it around town. When I went home on leave this year I bought a 3/4 Modular Harley helmet and love it! Tell the guy Real Harley riders support ANY other rider period!!!!!
