Motorcycle leathers ..?
hey, i could really do with a nice fitting leather jacket as ive only got textiles. any good value brands you could recommend ? Brands with a UK site is good (:

That question is like asking which shade of black is the blackest. Different people like different brands and swear by them. I suggest going to a store or motorcycle dealer and trying on the jackets. I bought mine from Leather up.com but there are many vendors on the web. Not sure if you can order or do order from Amazon.com but they have the widest variety of vendors out there (IMHO). Always buy a size larger than you would normally wear because you need to wear it over other clothes and even another jacket sometimes. If vanity is your concern, then go to a clothing store and have one tailor fit to you. Protection is protection. Never buy split leather thinking it will stay on you in a crash. Buy the thickest leather you can because the thicker it is, the longer it takes for the road to eat through it. Also remember that the leather will mostly stop road rash, but you may still get burns from sliding on the road from the heat generated from friction. Also consider leather pants or chaps. I strongly suggest armor in the shoulders, elbows and knees. I have been down and know the places that hit the road first and suffer the most damage.

Where do bikers store their motorcycle leathers outside?
I'm planning on getting a Kawasaki 250R sports bike, and I was wondering what where the best choices I had to store my outfit(most likely consisting of a helmet, jacket and armored leather pants) when I went outside. Would a saddlebag have the capacity for these and be safe enough?

I dont store my stuff on my bike - I wear it. It works a heck of a lot better that way... Did you mean to ask what we do with it once we arrive at our destination?? I carry it with me... You could get one of those Givi tail trunks and lock it up in that...

1980s Motorcycle Leathers?
What were some popular brands of Motorcycle leather jackets back in the 1980s (think Geico Motorcycle advertisement). I know Hein Gericke is one. What are some other good ones? I want a motorcycle outfit like the one in the Geico commercial in the worst way. If you have suggestions on where to get em, let me know!

I think Arlen Ness is pretty old school. Rev'It is made in the 90s. Dainese is pretty new but makes nice leather jackets
