I kinda like walking around with my armored textile jacket after parking the bike…it’s obvious that you actually ride a motorcycle, whereas black leather motorcycle-ish jackets are a dime a dozen. I enjoy the stares when I’m in the grocery store in my jacket and pants combo (as pictured in my avatar). And it guarantees that if there’s another rider there, we’re going to talk…there’s something wonderfully surreal about standing around in the cereal aisle talking about motorcycles.
But yeah, point taken…I suppose one’s girlfirend/wife wouldn’t want one to be handing a brightly-color ICON jacket to the coat check girl at the nice restaurant. And I just bought a black leather jacket for exactly your reasons.
