    I have to say my brown leather jacket is by far my favorite piece of equipment.

    It protects as well as the black leather jacket I had yet it reflects more so I don't over heat. Going on my 3rd season with it and it's going to be pushing 70K miles in it so far. No rips a bit worn in but I love it. Keeps me cool in the hot southern sun but keeps the wind off of me in the brisk early spring and late fall in Vermont.

    It was a CHEAP jacket on double discounted sale...

    I'll take it!

      Another Simpson fan here. I actually stopped wearing mine a few years ago, but many years, miles, and good times were had with this helmet on my head. The padding is fairly packed out by now, but it's still a great fitting helmet.

        I think Bob and Dave are at Brown County... Roger is probably doing something fun as well....

        This weeks subject and entries.
        I tried to blow up Agemax's pic, but dont know how....

        [QUOTE=steve murdoch;2549033]Thanks for the votes, Gents.
        Something a bit different for this week. How about your favourite piece of riding gear.

        We probably all have a helmet, jacket, pair of gloves or boots that fit just right. Racing leathers?

          Thanks for doing that Glen, I tried to do it earlier but was having trouble with it. Agemax, you really need to get on a pic hosting site like imgur and paste the BBCode of the image into your posts. Like this:

              on a pc, here's a screenshot of what you get when you click on one of your pictures. You get a bunch of choices for what kind of file you want to copy, and at various sizes at the bottom(pic below is a large thumbnail). you can experiment with the sizes and what looks best for a given picture on the forum, the important part is you want to copy the BB Code, and paste it right into your post, no need to mess with the image button in the forum toolbar. On the mobile version of Imgur, I haven't figured out a way to get the BB code. Makes it hard to do this from a phone. Hope this helps.


              I just saw your edit. Most of the time, I've found that Huge Thumbnail works pretty well, depending on the image. Usually, Original ends up being too big. You can experiment by copying a few of the various sizes and paste them into the same post. See which size works better. If you click the Go Advanced buttom before you post you get another button the Preview your post before actually posting it. This will allow you to see exactly how your post will look on your screen.

                    Are we voting now?

                    If so, it's a photo finish for Baatfam and Jedz...

                    My vote is for Baatfam this week. Great composition!

                      I have to vote for Agemax, and his vintage Simpson. Just an overall great shot...

                          I wish I was out doing something fun today, Glen. Just left early for work.

                          Having a hard time picking one. Baatfam sure has a great clear photo.
                          Dark helmet, I mean Dave, with his well broken in gloves shows they're definitely his favorite.
                          Kerry's pile of laundry, what's up with that?
                          Agemax, Rich and others are nice pics too.

                          Gotta go with Marvinsc though for the fun factor!
