Columbus, OH. Great deal on gear
Was at Classic Cycles in Columbus, OH this past weekend. They have a lot of stuff on sale at 50% off. I got a Joe Rocket reactor jacket for $100 (normally $200). It is mesh with leather on the shoulders and arms, and removable armor for the elbows, shoulders, kidneys and spine. I have ridden in it and love it, it' feels ike not wearing a jacket because of the air flow, but you are still protected. they had several more, and a table full of gloves and other smaller stuff.

check if the mesh is polyester or nylon. i've read that the polyester variety have damn near zero abrasion resistence. one way or another, i wouldnt recommend feeling too protected in that thing. maybe good for toolin around town at 30mph, but nothing more.
