So I need a new jacket. I found two I like in the closeouts section on Newenough.com.


First one is a Joe Rocket Meteor 4.0:

The second one is a Tour Master Advance Sport:

I am leaning more towards the Joe Rocket one. In solid black. Although the blue and black one wouldn't be too bad and it would match my bike great. I wanted the black one so when I get a different bike the jacket will match it. The prices are too good to pass up...

Any opinions on the above jackets would be great. Thanks :thumbs:

:ffedback:

The only thing with the blue one is there is a white stripe across the front. Kinda weird if ya ask me. The black one is solid black which I like. hhmm.... :scratch:

I am looking at this for my new helmet as well in either the silver/silver or the blue/silver color. Depending on the color jacket I go with.
Thinking about getting the Mirrored Silver shield to go with it.

Opinions on HJC helmets???

What do you think of the helmet? I have a Shoei RF-800 helmet I bought back in 1999 so I really want to update my lid so something a little lighter and stylish :wink:

I guess you could say I am in the middle of a total gear overhaul. Bought new gloves the other day which are solid black if anyone was wondering. My current jacket is solid black as well. My current lid is solid metallic silver/grayish color.

Man, it is a good thing you don't live in Texas. I am burnen up in gray, can't think what it would be like in almost all black. I am thinken about going Elvis, I have found white pants and jacket, now if I can get some shine to it I'll be set. What kind of helmet do you think Elivs would have worn?

I like the JR.

I also have the exact same helmet and for the $$ it is hard to beat. Being the HJC "SP"...it is a nicer helmet than the HJC "CL" helmets.

I've owned and liked Shoei as well in the past.

Good luck with your choice.

:thx1: I love it.

Like I said, for HJC powerdrom has the best prices. Here's a link to that helmet you want, size medium, $150 shipped. You can't beat that.

If there is a size or color you want that he doesn't have you could probably send him an email.

He recently started carrying some KBC's and Arai's also...

I received my jacket in the mail today. It fits perfect for the most part. The arms are a little long but I haven't taken it out for a ride yet so I am sure they will be fine once I stretch my arms out to reach the controls. For $54 (thats with shipping) I can't complain. I will have to get used to the armor also. Never had a jacket with all the armor this one has :dthumb:

Talking about prices, I purchased a clearence Meshie from them last weekend, got it yesterday. It was $42 befor shipping. I stick with my leather for longer rides, but when I'm just running errands around town at lower speed, and idling at stop signs the leather was just a bit too hot. So I got this one, nice a visible for city riding. Still got the CE protectors for a fall., but real good air flow. MSRP 124.99 on closeout for $42.
