    Well, all the Harley jackets I saw had HARLEY stamped all over 'em or some such thing. Not for me - if they want me to advertise for them, they'll have to pay me and throw the jacket in, too!

    The Samsung isn't too terrible hard, we originally tried the motorola but the sending email thru your own server was one thing it didn't like to do..had so much trouble with it it we brought them back and got the Samsung..good phone. My first choice was the iphone but it's my wife's phone plan, she works for a phone company..you know how the rest works...:)

    For about 200 bucks less than a leather FXRG jacket you can get an american made Fox Creek jacket that is better than the FXRG jacket. I just got their vented Racing Jacket and its wonerful. Cost me a weeks pay but hell, I deserve it!

    nice looking clothing...not cheap but looks like it will last. The FXRG I bought was a buffalo hide that I got at Sturgis for 200 bucks a few years back. it is really heavy..good for up here, not so good for where it's warm ,hence the cheap price. nowadays I wear a Firstgear Killamanjaro with a gerbings electric liner..works well.

    Whatever floats yerboat. Tfxrg is an excellent jacket. I've worn a buds in 27 degrees. But that's how much you know about fox creek, zero. Its heavy as fxrg and got a full zip out. Nice and warm like the fxrg. They weight the same. . Fxrg is an excellent jacket. Fox creek is too and american made and less money and a great alternative. But, it doesn't have HD tatood on it.

    Doesn't have HD tattood all over it? My kind of jacket! There's also another American company called "US 1 Leather". For a little over 3 bills you can get a basic old style jacket. When I'm able, I'm getting one. Why pay more and made in America, too?

    If it don't have Harley Davidson on it I don't want it.
    And the FXRG has gortex in it and it can pour down rain and you don't get wet.
    The air does not blow down the sleeve on the jacket.
    I don't have to wear special gloves to go over the Jacket.

    I've heard about FOX CREEK till I'm crazy listening to it.
    Seen one of their jackets. Its O.K.
    But I want something to say Harley on it too. I bought a 25,000 HarleyDAvidson motorcycle.
    If I had of gotten a honda or something I wouldn't care.
    I've been riding a Harley since the early 70's. Its in my Blood.
    I will pay the price for a Harley Jacket or shirt or whatever I want.

    I will only get to go threw Life one time. I want to enjoy it to the hilt.

    If everything in my life was about MONEY, I'd sell my bike and sit at home and save it till I had all I want.
    Life then would Sux.
    If you can't afford it that's o.k.

    Got a Sister in Law that did just that. She was a self made millionaire before she was 45.
    She don't hunt, don't fish, don't own a motorcycle.
    She goes out to eat,and drinks a beer. To me she has no life. She just goes to work.
    Know several folks that has millions, they won't spend their money on nothin.
    That's how they got rich. But they don't have a life either.
    Boring as heck to me.:gah:
    This ain't the life I want to live.
    I've seen many people that have a lot of money and No life.
    I have a life and I spend it with the wife. And I ride a Harley and buy Harley stuff.

    Good for you.
    I said how I got friends with DRoids and they got a Iphone, and how some will be gettin a Iphone as soon as they are eligible for a upgrade.
    Use whatever you like. I ain't the one that is using your phone.
    I want something easy to operate. It don't have to be the fastest and do every thing under the sun.
    They are coming out with new stuff about as fast as you can buy the stuff.
    All the eyephones I have gotten has been a little fasterk and done a little more.
    But all of them has been easy to operate and I've been happy with them.
    Over 50% of the market has a Iphone
    some folks are gonna have to support the other part.:D
