Almost always have my hit air jacket on

Glad to hear the rider is ok  you can get the hit air vest from bike bone under 500. which is less than that man paid by a good margin
Expect 600.  for the mesh jacket with c e armor  Why someone in a major urban area would ride without armor and a helmet is beyond me.  Concrete has no give and neither do cars if you hit one.

Have it on today riding around the Bronx it breathes and being silver reflective aint hot at all.

I believe that this is a friend of mine. Did not follow the link. We ride together in Florida out of the Crystal River area. He formerly was a big BMW fan for years and last fall showed up with the Spyder. He has always ridden with full gear whenever we ride. His "all the gear, all the time" takes on a new meaning after something like this. Glad your OK Jim. See you in a couple of months.
