Not coming from Scotland is it? The recent snow might have slowed it down a bit.

Took jacket out for a test flight this morning Found a lot less drag on my torso and a lot less bulky so far so good first test was on the 125 so held a constant 60mph into the wind which is a record for that, its usually 60 down a hill :mut: and then on to the 1100 theres a lot more wind noise in me helmet now so have to get some ear plugs

I much prefer my leather jacket when on a fast run , my fabric thing blows out on my arms and pushes back on my chest making look like a sail in full wind. but is more comfy, but again (i think ) has less protection. So

I also prefer my leather for fast riding. It's more comfortable and doesn't act like a parachute either. I tend to keep my textile jacket for the winter as it only takes about ten minutes to get on, with all those zips and that velco everywhere. It's more protective against the elements but in the event of a spill I still think I'd rather be wearing my leather.

Yeah, I use a leather jacket for summer and Heine Gericke textile jacket with a zip out lining for the winter

It might not look like it from the photographs of the ace but Trucker has been trying hard to shed a few pounds since the new year. Today just for a laugh I tried on my leather jacket, and its a squeeze but it now fits again.

Trucker has been trying hard to shed a few pounds since the new year. I'm sure you're a few pounds lighter after the Ace weekend, what with the Hotel bill and the trip to Harrods.
