I am thinking about purchasing the baseline Harley Davidson Sportster, but before I even come close to buying the bike, I will be taking the MSF course. Safety is incredibly import to me, as is a little fun. My major question though is, when purchasing protective gear, what are certain things I should look for. Also, between leather, textile, and mesh, which offers the most protection and why. I know many cruiser bike riders don’t do this (at least that I’ve seen), and many will find it uncool but I don’t care, I will be getting a full face helmet. I know that leather is generally the "look" for cruiser style bikes, but I enjoy motorcycles, and maximum protection is more important to me than maximum coolness.
I know many of you may say, if you want maximum protection, don’t ride a motorcycle. I thank you for your concern and well-intentions
Also, the one jacket that has caught my interest more than others in the Power-Trip Army Flak-Textile jacket. It SEEMS like it is protective, looks cool, and gives me a chance to represent my service as well. Anyone know anything about this jacket?

I took a ride over the weekend through central california and some of the foothills with 6 other guys from my club. All the guys in my club (and from what I noticed, all the other Harley Davidson riders as well) would need to stop every 20 minutes – get gas, fix the bike, adjust the clothing, my butt hurts, etc. One guy even stated that he thought it was a good thing that only 2 of the 7 bikes needed to be worked on while we were on the road – I thought that kind of sucked. I mean, I just wanted to ride, not stop all the time. I never stopped so much when I rode other makes of bikes. What is up with this?
Harley Davidson makes more money selling clothing, keychains and "officially licensed merchandise" than they do from selling bikes. Further, 99% of this merchandise is made in china, malaysia, and mexico. Even their bikes contain foreign parts from places like italy and china and are far less reliable or technologically advanced as other bikes. How am I, as a proud American, supposed to get excited about an "American" product, when it is far more inferior, way pricier, and less reliable than most other motorcycles out there and the company that builds it makes most of its money selling foreign fashion garbage? Doesn’t spending my hard earned money on something like this just make me stupid?
