Long Sleeved, "T" Shirt -- sorry, couldn't resist. That's what I'm taking.

I don't understand the reasoning for buying a jacket for the rally. The open road seems the safest place to ride whereas normal city driving seems like the most hazardous. If you don't own/wear a jacket then why buy/wear one for the rally? Save the money for beer and gas.

Now you got me thinking between these 2
http://www.thehelmetsource.com/Merch...HighFlowSilver http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/m...acket.html?s=a I wonder if the back protector is removable on the Joe Rocket. I saw where people remove then since they're not comfortable when you have a backrest on your bike. Also, the Rocket has a rainliner where it appears with the Fieldsheer it's optional.

I ended up ordering a Power Trip Mojave jacket from Newenough in grey/black. It seemed like the best combination of style and the proper size. Even though it's extremely hot here, I feel I *should be wearing something* when I ride. Hmm...we'll see.

I noticed the Rocket has a stronger replacement back protector available so that answers the question about it being removable.

I'd need a jacket today. It's raining and is about 45 degrees cooler than it was on Tuesday. Strange for this time of the year. Check that, it's 50 degrees cooler. This time Tuesday, it was 109, right now it's 59.

Some people don't realize the fact that there's a 8" zipper in the back of most all of these jackets. It's there for a very good reason. Pants with armor as well. While these pants protect hips, knees, and butts they also keep the jacket from sliding up in the event of a slide and getting road rash on the stomach and back.
There is also a reason why the jacket is supposed to fit tight. It's not only because you feel like a big parachute but it keeps the armor against your body protecting the area it's intended to protect instead of in the event of a slide for example the shoulder pad isn't protecting the middle of a bicep instead of the intended shoulder. Another observation is the fact that if you buy a black jacket more Harley guys will wave
