And btw Jeff, to answer YOUR question here, I don't go overboard or have any kind of "addiction" with purchasing riding gear, but about 6 months ago I did purchase online a Bell Mag-9 helmet which other than it creating a little bit more wind noise than I would like around the face shield mechanism, I like a lot. Other than that, I haven't purchased a new riding jacket or pants in some time.


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)
