    I ended up ordering this jacket from Revzilla and rode with it the first time this morning. It's a great jacket! The air flow is good.

    Alpinestars T-RC 1 Air Flo Jacket?

    After a lot of searching I think this is the jacket for me. I'm guessing it would be about perfect for riding in Michigan. Anyone out there have one? What's your experience with it? What's the elbow and shoulder armor like, the dense foam-hard plastic stuff? Does the elbow and shoulder...

    Rode Today - I Live in Michigan!

    I don't know if it was good for the bike, but it sure was good for me! I noticed the roads were dry so I got it plenty hot and went around the block a couple of times. It was a 2 mile ride in 1st and 2nd gears up to 40 mph in 34 degree weather.
