Jackets

Looks good, but sleeves look short on you. Did you sit on a bike with it on?

Did you have to tell Cheryl which was the shutter button? J/k sweet girl!

[emptysea]

I didn't have time to test it on a bike, but I think the sleeves were a little pushed up because the insulated liner was grabbing on the sleeves of my sweater.

She knows exactly how to use the shutter button. I just need to learn not to act silly in front of it when she is behind it. She seems to enjoy catching me acting stupid. However, I don't think I will mention your comment to herwon't lest you get a similar response to what the Klim guy got when he turned to her and asked "So, do you ride on the back of his bike?" LOL. You can probably imagine her reaction.

LOl hey I said j/k (just kidding) sweet girl but yea I'll bet he got an earful

[emptysea]

She would know that you were kidding and she thinks you're sweet, too.

I like the jacket you link to, I don't think it is boring and looks like a great price.

I went with the dark FirstGear Killamanjaro jacket and a matching different brand riding pants which happened to match but I noticed several different brands matched including my high top waterproof touring boots from FLY and riding Scorpion EXO pants (not overalls). Both pants and jacket are armored and have vents and zip out liners. They also came with black Brand stickers that might look good on my 14 CB1100 Black Beauty, might.

Thanks for a great thread. - Art

The BMG Montana is a great jacket. I know a few folks that have them, and I've tried it on, it's real quality and reasonable. BMG is a good little outfit, they took over some of the old Belstaff lines and renamed them, quality kit.

I bought one in hi vis in 2012, good jacket

Total impulse buy...

We set out to purchase riding pants and a jacket for my wife. She ultimately opted for and ordered Cortech gear and I'll have photos when we pick them up, but while she was rifling through catalogs, I saw this Joe Rocket "Honda Racing" textile jacket.



I liked the looks and, more important than that, my wife liked the looks, so I took it home. It fits great, but it may be a bit under-vented for hot days. I'll report on it after I test ride it a few times. Two jackets, one pair of pants, and a UClear communication set. Des Plaines Honda was happy to see us today, I suspect.

ES, I look forward to seeing photos of you wearing it on the CB-1100.

Weather's been crappy, but I'll get out soon.
