    North Carolina. That's north, near the Virginia border. It was 39 last night. It was about 58 when I ventured out around noon today. Mighty cool riding around if you count the wind chill. Thank the Lord for long johns! (I think I was wearing jeans, too). I ain't seen a butterfly or hummingbird in over a month. They all flew south. Lots of big, juicy bugs, though LOL.

    58 is leather jacket weather, If you do not have a FXRG leather jacket.
    Get a Harley sweatshirt and put it on under your leather jacket.
    And wear a FF helmet. You can pick one up at Cycle Gear.

    Sorry, I don't buy anything with Harley Davidson written all over it. Got my hoodie at Walmart for cheap and no advertising on it, either. I've said before that if I'm going to be advertising for Harley or anybody else, they can pay me to wear their stuff. I'm happy with my 3/4 Lick's helmet and Bell face shield. No logos. My denim jacket stops the cold air well enough. It has a liner. No company logos, either.

    If It don't have Harley Davidson on it. I don't buy it.
    I ride a Harley, and I like the clothes they make and put out.
    Can't help how much they cost.

    Harley likes guys with that attitude,
    My favorite jacket is from back in the early 90's its a harley jacket, but only the snaps and the liner say harley, was $500.00 back then, i think they call it an FXRG jacket now. I dont care for the logo stuff. I'm a club guy when ever I'm out in public i have my cut on anyway.

    I will say this and that is the cloths that Harley sells are always very well made and seem to hold up very well. My FXRG jacket is a fantastic jacket and for cold weather there is none better. Got a lot of Harley T shirts and usually buy them when traveling at Harley shops in other areas. One of my favorits is the Big Foot T shirt from Latus Motors here in Oregon. My main helmet is not a Harley. My boots are Harley just haven't found some that work better.
    Just heard on FOX news that Harley stocks are on the rise :)

    I like a Shoei Neotec. Went to cycle gear and got the OL one and she is estatic over it.

    Bought a set of these Chaps, I was lucky I found them, and the dude in front of me decided not to pay the price for them.
    Absoultely the best set of chaps I have ever owned.
    They have a quilted liner in them. Which takes the chill off the leather.

    Worth every penny I paid for them.
    They are hard to find in cycle gear store.

    May be but I want to walk in a store and try the jacket on and walk out the door.
    Don't want to be sized and have one made and mailed to me. And wait.

    The FXRG jackets I bought the OL and me in 06 look brand new.
    And they are water proof. And have a great liner in them.

    Fox creek is my jacket. They make a great fit and quality jacket). The FXRG would be my second choice . Neotec is my helmet for any kind of distance riding. Bought it from CB recommendation and trying it on. They offer different size cheek pads which helped me get a good fit since I have a fat head. Mainly to keep the basal cell shirt off my beautiful face. For knocking around local I wear a HD low profile shorty helmet. I own the better quality lined chaps from HD and Gerbing electric jacket and gloves.

    My FXRG jacket is not leather and for here in the Pacific Northwest it is just amazing. My normal jacket is a Harley jacket bu also not leather but no labels on the front just a small one on th back high is usually covered up by my vest high is not Harley either but is a gun vest. I don't wear Harley chaps either but they are a heavy leather.

    Quilted lined chaps in Texas WTF ?

    Know you are on the other side of the world and don't know a lot about the southeast united states.
    This was last year thanks to Global Warming.
    And if you come over here and say that somebody might mistake you for somebody and shoot you.
