Just wanted to post an informative piece for anyone looking for some new riding gear or have been putting off getting a solid jacket cause they're so expensive. Cyclegear if in your area from early march until they have killed the stock basically reduce the prices to the point of almost not making profit in an attempt to clear the shelves for the upcoming seasons stuff. I needed a new jacket and I just got a full leather deal for $99 that was normally $300. The jacket to me was worth paying full price but at nearly 70% off I definitely couldn't pass it up.  Sorry if this seems like a sales pitch for cyclegear it's more a sales pitch for not so wealthy riders. We see all to often the guy cruising around in a hoodie or Burlington coat factory bomber jacket that really aren't gonna help much in a wreck and when asked the response is usually I can't afford 3-400 for a good jacket. Well here's your chance!

And for the sake of all things holy buy some gloves. It's a natural human reaction to put your hands down when you fall. Had some guy tell me the other night "I like to feel the grips under my hands" I asked him of he had ever been down and I new the answer before I asked. I say a little prayer (though I'm not very religious) every time I see someone zipping along with no gloves on. Sorry for the rant!

Looks a lot like the jacket I picked up which was made by FirstGear. Well worth the money.
 Good gear can make a difference.

The, 'Store', Sales/closeouts, on jackets etc.
Are all, the very top or bottom on size.
And done, After, all the popular sizes are gone.

If you wear a, S, or 3XL, Many times you can get some very good deals.

Or, peruse, yard sales, flee markets, thrift stores.
I'm still wait-en on Serow, to give up one of his,
'Scores', in my size.

You definitely need some COLOR in your wardrobe dude !

I think that'a a very weathered black one  

All motorcycle jackets are black
the ones that aren't were mistakes  

FWIW, Cyclegear frequently has their "store brands" at 50% off, I've bought a few things there but never paid their "regular price", even when the items were no longer on "sale".  I simply ask if they can give me the 50% off that I just missed or will be in the next month and they've always given it to me, YMMV.

That said, if you are interested in a Bilt, Custom Bilt, Sedeci, or Trackside item don't wait for a "close out" (when the sizes or colors are limited) just ask for the 50% off, which puts a "$300" jacket at $150
