Price is negotiable, of course.  I'll make it worthwhile to buy it by
beating mail-order.

Was yours an older jacket, or were you being Santa Claus?  I'm basing
the price on what I paid for it and what it goes for through mail order.

Unfortunately, the only thing between the tar and me was my denim.  I didn't
hit my head, and the jacket got off without a scratch.  'Stupidity, thy
name is newbie,' indeed -- a mere low-speed unscheduled getoff.

But thanks for remembering ;).

BTW, why am I selling?  I'm a student; after summer, riding mainly on 
weekends in the Berkeley hills; need a jacket which I can wear off the bike
as well as on.  The red/blk HG is, like race leathers, very conspicuous 
away from the bike.

Need to pay the rent, so I want a cheaper jacket (yes, I'm down to chiseling
a couple of hundred bucks).  And the helmet?  Well, a Blaze is very squidlike
and flashy (not that these are bad things, mind you) but .. err ... I'd
rather have a lighter, better helmet in a solid color.  What, you don't
buy that?  Well, maybeitdoesn'tmatchthebike.  There.  I've said it.  YMMV.
