Joe Rocket or Alpinestars
I'm buying a leather jacket. Leather is cool 8) and chicks dig it, at least that's what my wife tells me. I have my choices narrowed down to two, the Joe Rocket 2004 Speedmaster or the Alpinestars Venom. I have based my choices on reveiw of the manufacturers (I've looked at pretty much every manufacturer on that's online) web sites. These two seem to offer the best value/protection to dollar ratio. The problem is, none of the dealers around hear (South NJ >:() stock the hi-end stuff over $400 only the cheaper near $200 stuff. Everything is special order. If it does not fit, they will get the right size, but if I simply do not like it, I'm stuck ???. It seems to me that AS is a bit nicer than JR, but are they worth over $100 more for what is basically the same jacket? I can get the JR for $340 and free S&H, the AS is $450 + $20 S&H. Any thoughts, opinions, recommendations? I've seen a post that says the JR Phoenix is crap (that sucks, both the wife & I have one of those :-/) but the other stuff they make is OK.
Thanks Hworth
