Cool! I wonder what the quality is like. But, I guess with those prices, you almost can't go wrong.

I just ordered one of their jackets. Less than $40 including shipping. I'll be the lab rat for this one.....  If it's a piece of crap, I can donate it to Goodwill and deduct it from my taxes....

I've been looking for a light jacket that blocks the wind and doesn't look like part of a clown suit. Hopefully this will work. I've already received 4 emails saying thank you, it shipped, thanks for paying, etc.... so either they're happy to find a sucker so quickly or they are reputable. Time will tell, but I'll take a chance for 40 bucks. It supposedly retails for $90 - still cheap....

You can always cover it in "I'mabadass" patches and wear it to Harley club meetings...

No, it would have to cost $800 and have fringe and studs all over it before I could do that. If it turns out to be a piece of crap, I can cover it with "I'madumbass" patches and wear it to Sam's club.....

I will never wear leather pants especially here in Oklahoma. It's one of those things men don't do around these parts. I'll never dragrace my turbo Busa because of it. Same thing with yellow cars and bikes. Mad`

Hey, wait a minute, there. I like my yellow speedy. Yeah, if the dealer had a black demo he wanted to knock something off of I woulda gotten that, but my yellow one is just fine, thank you. 
Now, pink shirts, that is another thing altogether...

I received my $20 leather jacket today. This is not a road-rash prevention device. But, for $20, it will suit my purposes. It has a zip-out liner with sleeves that button to the end of the jacket sleeves. It has a snap-in neck warmer. It has a hood that zippers on to the collar. It has six small pockets above the waist- 3 on each side - 1 slash, 1 zipper, and 1 snap. It has 2 normal sized zippered pockets on the chest, and a normal sized pocket on the inside left. The pockets and lining are polyester, so anything sharp like a set of keys will wear a hole in no time. It is made (where else?) in China.
This stuff is sold everywhere on the internet. I have seen prices for this jacket from $19 to $169. Do a Google search on Navarre Leather Company or Giovanni Navarre or even GF95XL and you'll see what I mean...
This isn't made with 1/2 inch thick Corinthian leather or impenetrable gnu hide, but it will block the wind on those chilly midnight rides home from work. That's all I wanted, and for $20 bucks..... works for me.

I got a Killer Leather Jacket! Very Heavy and fits Great from www.bikerbarleathers.com They are great to work with and the quality of the leather was great! I bought the most expensive jacket on the site for $104. I thought I would gamble and man it is a great jacket. I have recieved compliments everywhere and I am very happy with it!
