I live in Ireland....so whatever keeps the rain out is just fine by me. A buddy of mine bought an expensive leather jacket and pants a few years back..think he paid over €1000 for them. First day out he had a bad high-sider and slid along the road for over 100yds...not a scratch on him, but all he cried about was his "new leathers" all ripped up...never even thinking that they had done the job they were made for !!! no pleasing some folk!!

While true, we all still want to wear what we look pretty good in... for the most part I don't care, as long as the item meets certain parameters and doesn't bust the bank. My chaps were 60.00, and I wouldn't trade then for anything. My old riding jacket 600.00 I would never pay that again. But I have to say, the thing is 17 years old, and not a tear anywhere. Just faded.

I am glad your friend was able to cry over the loss. I am sure that in hind site he realized that they saved him.

Lucky, Black 9 I think its down around Rapid city there, kind of a less travel type road I wish I could remember the the road numbers, but well dam it was what over 12 years or even 18 years ago, dam I need me some ginko. have a great one! "T"

You can take highway 24 outside of Belle Fourche or if you take the Interstate you take the Hulett exit on highway 14.

I'm not sure I know it was a straight shot south, we stayed in Wyoming the whole time, crossed back over the mountain passes and ended up with a straight shot into Rapid City. I really don't know. have a great one "T"
