I was at a local motorcycle shop (non-buell)looking at jackets. I tried on Icon, Scorpion, Alpinestars, and a few others. There was something I did not like about all of them. I left the shop disappointed.

I decided to order the Jacket that I saw on the Buell website from my local dealer. They didnt have anything in stock so I had to order it in. I got it today. This thing is awesome! I cannot believe how badly the picture on their website represents the jacket. It does it no justice. Buell needs some blown up pics of it on someone or something.

Here is the link

The armor is completely un noticeable while you are wearing it. Its soft and easy to move in also. Im just giddy and had to share.

It was worth it. The Icon, Alpinestars, ECT, were the same price and not as nice as this jacket. I am going to be poor for a while but at least I will look good being poor.

I get that a lot, especially at weddings. Get me in a tux and 30 people an hour are yelling Fabio.

I googled Fabio and found this LOL. Turns out he rides motorcycle too. I found several pics of him riding different bikes. No Buells though.

Yes I do believe that the armor will help. The back armor goes all the way up the spine and the elbow armor is thick with a hard outer shell.

I am going to homecoming.My wife is coming too. We already have reservations at the Country Inn. Im glad to hear you brought the M2 up. That is a very cool ride. I hope you can make it to the homecoming.
