So I saw that Triumph has a B.R.M.C. Jacket; but not for sale in the states (U.K. only) well this did not set well with me. being a huge fan of the Wild One, and Brando, I decided to make my own...and of course one up the Brits. as you can see, in normal light, you can barely see anything out of the ordinary  But let a headlight hit the application and...  so what am I rebelling against? the UK not sharing their goodies

BASEBALL cap?! And you call yourself a big Brando/Wild One fan, do ya Bill?!
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Hey, tattoo or not...I STILL say I've NEVER seen any MLB players shaggin' fly balls in the outfield in THAT kinda chapeau Brando is sportin' there, dude!!!  (...oh, and btw...for any of you Brits around here who are be readin' this, that term "shaggin'" doesn't mean what you might be thinkin' it means!!!)

What is the application and where did you get it?
What's wrong with chaps?
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Nothing is wrong with chaps they work when the weather is getting colder. Guess people just think HD riders are the only ones to wear them I guess . I am sure someone will pipe in with something more enlighting.

You are correct, chaps are great when it's cold and windy. Chaps when it's above 60º is pretty 
I don't put them on until it's low 50's or below
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I used to carry chaps for when it rained, They help for a while but then they start to channel water up where I don't want it.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

it is actually an industrial grade vinyl perm window decal (thick enough it will not peel or rub off, etc.) i got it from http://www.kickassdecals.com/ people have used them on saddle bags for years, well f they will stick to bags they will stick to my jacket. i have now worn the jacket for about 4K worth of road, no issues. i think the decal was like 20. when you get it, line it up, peel off the backing, and then rub it down HARD with a quarter, then take the top layer off, super easy.
