Let's see your first real riding jacket.

[Gone in 60]

I still remember my first motorcycle jacket. Can't remember the brand, but it was bright blue with white stripes on the arms. I loved the look of it. But, I lost a lot of weight after I first started riding. I wore that jacket after finding it in a closet, and it rode up on my like a trash bag once I got on the freeway.

We used to have a lovely shop in Long Beach called Yellow Devil. It was a used gear exchange, where you could sell your old gear on consignment and buy other gear. I got rid of all of my larger sized jackets there. After it went out of business, another intrepid person tried the same concept, opening a shop in Corona, but that didn't last too long.
