I'm embarrassed ......

ok OK - i have finally capitulated
- given in to the mute, pleading looks from the Offspring, the unsubtle hints from The Beloved and ---- the Stern, Unyielding DISapproval of Mr Hitcher ['nuff said] and have today purchased -- oh lord how can i LIVE with myself?! ... a 'joe-rocket-girls-cleo-woman's-mesh-jacket with zip out waterproof lining [and enough armour padding to make an american quarterback envious.]

it's black ... black is veeeeery slimming; that's just as well in view of the - erm - loooomingly menacing new shillouette [courtesy of all that armour plating in every conceivable impact point - and some that really are a bit obscure whilst, i can't help noticing, areas that would BENEFIT from a little extra padding are totally TOTALLY ignored ........*sigh*]

OK you lot - glad that everyone is now happy ........ inaugeral ride tomorrow

all that is left

is for me to decide which SHORTS to wear it with

Not too sure what this rocket jacket thingie is exactly, but is it really that bad?

**zadok** · 5th February 2006, 10:34

My wife has something like that. I intend shouting myself something similar before long.

Joe Rocket is an american gear brand. Riding in 34-40 degree heat in summer, its a bit of an effort to actually get people to wear protective gear, so, --------

**Jackrat** · 5th February 2006, 11:14

Yeah my wife has something similar to that as well.
Just a DriRider is all.
An my Mother in law has the same jacket but removed the armour,,,work that one out.:slap:

So where do I get one of these jackets from?

**TygerTung** · 5th February 2006, 13:45

I would also be interested in these jackets.

This is a BAD thing with mother-in-laws????????

I think Mstriumph, in the interests of proper safety, you should consider some "Draggin" shorts. After all, we know that those who aren't wearing ALL the proper gear are the scurge of our (and your) nation.

**madboy** · 5th February 2006, 20:57

With all due respect Mr WT, Draggin shorts are not suitable attire. While they may have kevlar lining to protect you from road rash, they do not have any CE armour in the hip area to protect you from the impact. Much better to get cordura/leather pants and chop them off above the knee pads.
