Any thoughts on the new Ace Jacket from Triumph? I saw it for the first time today and I'm wondering what y'all think of it. It's black with red radiating stripes, chequered flag shoulders & side panels, cool back logo with ace of spades, dice, and more chequered flags. The downside is it has "Triumph" on it all of five times - a little too much of a good thing if you asked me. Still, I think it's pretty cool! You can see it best on the UK website in the clothing catalog.

King, I like the jacket too and it has a lot of Triumphs on it. My wife got me the black textile Triumph jacket, don't know what they call it but I had mentioned wanting a light weight jacket for warmer weather. It has Triumph on the sleeves and a great big one on the back and little one left chest area. Its a nice jacket, comfortable, well made and all those Triumphs do serve to break up the black and make me more noticeable. I like the jacket, I wear it and I don't concern myself with what others think because all those logos make a nice safety feature. I am glad it doesn't say Viagra.

Now I wish I could find some of those black and white checkered decals to put on my all black helmet.

real simple, if you are 25 or under its great, looks sharp,
if you are 35 or older, you would be trying way too hard, it would look ridiculous. I've shown these type jackets to my wife before for her opinion, and she laughs and says I would look like a retart, I'm 44
25 - 35 its your call :-D

...from the 'younger side of things'...I suppose...I don't like it either. The style is ok, but its waaay too busy.
