Anyone that is interested in a biker friendly spot going donw Hwy 36 I can highly recommend West Of The Brazos. Its a great little joint in Damon Texas http://www.westofthebrazos.com/. Good little stop if your cruising down to Freeport for the day. I love their burgers and a cold beer! Check em out next time you head out that way!

Definitely don't buy the cheap made in Pakistan stuff that will burst on impact! I have seen it first hand. A friend of mine went down a few years back and the jacket and gloves he bought were cheap no namers. Upon impact the palm of the gloves were shredded and he burst the seams on the jacket so the leather didn't protect him. I personally swear by Icon and Alpinestars for good gear. They make mostly sport bike gear but if you get some of the more generic looking stuff it crosses over just fine. I bought a helmet by Icon as well as a jacket and gloves from Chaotic Motorsports http://www.discount-motorcycle-parts.net/ and have been happy with that gear. Since I am here in Houston cold is not an issue but heat is so I go perforated with most everything otherwise its never going to get worn. http://www.discount-motorcycle-parts.net/images/icon_overlordprime_jacket5.jpg http://www.discount-motorcycle-parts.net/images/icon_perforated_gloves.jpg http://www.discount-motorcycle-parts.net/images/icon_airframe_rubatone_helmet.jpg
