I'm thinking about getting a Moto GP leather jacket... what's the general feeling about them as a brand?

My friend has the corkscrew. He likes it. The white ones are a hassle to clean though. Gets dirty fast and often.

I have a corkscrew jacket. It fits nicely and look pretty good. Seems to be good quality.

I have a pair of their pants, they're quite nice, stayed together fine, good build quality.

Yeah, that's the same one I ended up gettting (Corkscrew). Seems good-- I figured for $139 I couldn't go wrong. The only thing I wasn't so happy about what the huge MotoGP logo eyeballs. Cut the stitching out and removed them. Much better now--anyone want them?

Also picked up some new Alpinestars SP-2 gloves.

Thanks for the replies and advice! I'm quite happy!

Speaking of corkscrew...

I have the leather corkscrew and a textile jacket from MotoGP. Both are good quality and fit nicely. Bought both from newenough which shipped each one of quickly (bought them at seperate times).
