Scooter Trash Bleg

Pickin' up the Harley from storage next Saturday, and it dawns on me that I really need a new jacket. After losing ~ 100 pounds, even the jacket I bought as a freshman in college no longer fits me (it's too big), and that's the smallest motorcycle jacket I have.

Sadly, the local leather place appears to be out of business, and I'm not about to drop 2X as much cash as needed on something with the Official HD logo, so I'm in the market for a new jacket (could also use a new vest). I'm looking for something in the traditional "biker" style, not a Kevlar-reinforced jacket (although, now that I think about it, one of those wouldn't be bad either...)

So... Anyone have any good places to check online? Or, alternately, any places to avoid?

Thanks in advance. That is all.

What about asking those nice mustachioed men at that bar we go to all the time? All of them had really nice leather outfits, there. And so friendly, too! It was odd how they kept asking us to dance. Ha! Men don't dance with men! Silly.

What was that place called?

Oh, right... "The Manhole".

It must cater to utility workers or something.

PuGz,

Thanks for the tip - they have a great selection of the nylon-type jackets, which I've been meaning to pick up.

Bolt,

Are you thinking of the Blue Oyster Bar?

Ah, a man after my own, err, hide. :)
