Nice ! I bought a pair of the black Draggins a while back. I find them a bit clingy and restrictive and they ride up a bit. But... they do the job and allow me to arrive at social functions without always looking like I just did 30 laps at Eastern Creek. (I prefer my full leathers... but its so hard to find suitable social settings for them...)
I also bought an RJays EVO winter jacket on the same shopping trip. It's great. For almost 20 years I've ridden all year round, but I found last year I was feeling the cold.... getting older I guess. This EVO jacket is very warm and snug so I'm looking forward to riding comfortably in any conditions this winter.
I picked up Astrobusa Mark II in mid-August last year and vividly remember going for a long ride the night I picked her up. Full leathers with a jumper underneath in frigid conditions = brass monkey time. The first two hours I didn't feel any pain.... new bike syndrome had set in. At about 1am, with a 'still' temperature of 4 degrees and a wind chill of something I don't even want to think about... I was saved by Max (owner of the Road Warriors Cafe) who loaned me his winter jacket. This year, I'm prepared !
