The jacket is not really good enough for offroad. It's a Fonzie type riding jacket. No damage to the jacket whatsoever. I was only doing about 10-15mph and did an Art Carney onto some hard packed snow. Felt like conrcete when I landed on it and I felt my ribcage do more flexing than it usually does. Today it's still sore but much better than yesterday. I rode the KLR to work. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Tengai Mark Van Horn wrote:
