Hello, there. I'm sad now. Last Tuseday, I bought this motorcyle jacke http://www.giftmadesimple.com/product/personalized -gift-ideas/6124/ for my girlfriend. You know she's learning motorcyle now. I want to give her a surprise, but she said it too ugly , she will not wear it at all. This style is very fashionable in my opinion, I feel it very cool. But...What do you think about it ? Is it really that ugly??? I need your review. (Message edited by froggy on December 02, 2011) |

The link says buy now at Macy's??? You need your man card revoked for shopping at Macys for motorcycle apparell. LOL for the record though the link doesnt work on my work PC and I cant even see the jacket. If it doesnt have padding and armor in it then it really isnt very safe at all. Just my opinion.. Safe journeys to you |

it looks like a traditional leather jacket, cut for women. Anything that says 'motorcycle style'...is only for looks. Go to a motorcycle shop to get clothing for actual riding and safety. and I agree - if she doesn't like it, return it and give her nothing. If she finds something she likes, let her ask for it. |

On the other side of the coin: at least she is willing to TELL you she doesn't like it - rather than accepting it and just letting it hang in the closet for a decade before re-gifting or donating to charity. Agreed, from the little picture, it looks like a motorcycle styled piece - just for looks. A jacket like that isn't going to work ON a motorcycle and will do nothing for keeping her warm. Those jackets NEVER have much of a liner. Makes them stylish (without a liner, they don't look bulky) but they are impossible to use in any kind of cool weather. It's more a "Clubbing" jacket than a "Riding" jacket. just my 2¢ (worth less with inflation) (Message edited by slaughter on December 02, 2011) |

My wife says money is the perfect style, size, and color. And, she actually enjoys shopping. |

Tell Froggy to get his hammer primed. That should brighten his holiday spirits... |

FT - I first thought it smelled like a spamming but searched the OP and he's been here a while - even posting MOTO-stuff. |

Go to CycleGear.com and have her pick out something she likes that actually will protect her and that looks good. I have jackets from Scorpion, Shift (now defunct, but you can still get some closeout items), and Vanson (that I got on closeout). Make it a project you both can enjoy. Go to a CycleGear shop and have her try them on. That jacket looks good for a night out, but it will do next to nothing for her if she crashes or you crash with her on the back. Good luck! |

"Fashion leathers". Best worn for riding in a car. |

what moto stuff has he actually posted? It all looks like crap to me, nothing exactly moto related, mostly 3-5 word sentences. Oh and a 09 s1w? Im calling bs on this poster. |

I swung Froggy's ban hammer for him. Consider him nuked. He's not a long time user. He's been on since November 11th 2011. |

Thanks Ft, I wondered about that when I saw it. Looks an awful lot like a spammer that was back a few months asking about gloves. |

He posted from China too. http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/59.174.37.186 Spammers sure are getting tricky. |

I didn't need to check his IP address. His lack of english kung fu was a tip off. |

I guess you drink NOs too... I should've paid more attention to the OP to catch it... how many different handles has this douche canoe used here by now? How do you say "douche canoe" in Mandarin? |

Wonder if they're trying to boost business on their site? You know, hey check this jacket out, you like? I sells you one? |

Wow. I haven't seen spam of this type before. What is the idea even? Just get a bunch of people to click the link? I clicked the link, saw nothing unusual and closed the tab. Did I just earn that guy $0.002? |
