What Should I Do?

I selected the cool jacket for you as it will provide instant pleasure and more bike riding.

Both a gear indicator and screen involve work before use, so rejected them.

And rejected 'something else' because £100 doesn't go very far on drugs and hookers these days!

I voted for the screen. I have a vented jackket and it doesn't help much. That may be due to temps in the mid to high ninetys

 

• I chose a gear indicator - useful on every ride in all weathers
• The jacket would only get used a handful of times & should the unthinkable happen then leather fairs better than textile.
• Speed Triples are naked bikes therefore don't need a screen
• And, as has already been covered £100 doesn't buy you much of anything else!

 

Gear indicator

 

After some consideration I went for the gear indicator. I wouldn’t have a clue what a hooker costs, but as everybody says ‘anything else’ is a bit wasted. Textile jacket is nice, but might be difficult to find a good one for that dosh. First time I have ever had a gear indicator is on my Striple and I do find it pretty useful. Whatever you choose, enjoy it

 

Why do you have to ask ? I don't need advice when I spend money. ...J.D.

Afterthought a few minutes later : A real man does not steal from his kids or need to ask his wife for permission to spend money...

 

My REAL first impression of this post is that he is just fishing for marketing leads ...J.D.

 

Biker or grownup, simple choice @DanielB

 

@Bad Billy

Having fallen off (the unthinkable) a few times in my ~40 yes of riding. In both leather and textile jackets A good textile jacket far far far Out performed any leather jackets I've owned !!!

One textile full body wet weather suit didn't even get scuff marks on it from a 50 mph 80 kph fall in the wet ! Leathers on the other hand have ALL ended up scuffed and Even Holy ! On occasion !

 

I voted for a gear indicator
Buy a cheap second hand jacket off ebay

 

I voted something else. Buy an optimizer to keep your battery in tip top condition and what is left invest in some beer

 

DanielB: Don't mind me. I have kind of a thing about the marketing segment. Kind of like killing ants. You keep spraying even after the last one is dead. Just one of my wierd quirks. ...J.D.

Wife and I have been together from the beginning [almost 48 yrs.], but I am definitely the dominate one. I was a hired [tech] gun for the corporate world for almost 30 yrs. Makes you kind of a wierd person working punching a time clock in environment. ...J.D.

 

Curry and Alcohol would be my first choice

 

Spent my extra "shekels" this week on a new UPS system for my home computer network. Now if the power goes out, I can stay online .Actually have not got it yet. It is in transit. ...J.D.
