Let's see your first real riding jacket.

Being a bit of a gear-head like many other motorcyclists, hording collecting all sorts of different gear is part of the fun of being a motorcyclist.

I was reorganizing the garage today, and pulled from a pile of gear, the first riding jacket I ever bought. It's an Alpinestars something or the other, size 38 US. I bought off eBay for $180 in 2007 when I had my R6, and used it every winter when I needed something a little heavier and non perforated. Anyway, I was 5'6" 150lbs when I bought it. I can still fit it now at 180lbs, but without back and chest armor, so it's getting retired.

It's been through a highside, many rains, many rides, but I will never get rid of it.

Here she is. Let's get nostalgic and post yours up too.
