Default Recommendations?

So I just finished all the paint work and touch-ups for my F3, installed a new manual CCT and got to ride it around for maybe a week before...

I laid it down at 60mph!


So I was wondering if you guys would have any suggestions on a new badass jacket and some gloves to go with it.

I'm looking to spend up to $150 for the jacket... not sure how much on the gloves. Something like a black with maybe some red, textile or mesh, fits decently, and can be worn in the summer or winter.

Shop on eBay. You can get name brand quality stuff for a lot less money. About three months ago, a female co-worker gave me a Teknic (unisex) black textile jacket. I didn't like the fit and she didn't have any use for it so I sold it at auction on eBay and got $50. It was like a $150+ jacket in "like new" condition.
Ended up giving her the $50.

Go with leather instead. Icon got this jacket with holes almost everywhere and a scoop on eatch shoulder to force air into the jacket. I went from textile to leather and got u mutch more fun ride. The jacket helps me into the correct riding position. I don`t usually ride in rain, and will get thin easy to store rain gear to put on over the leather. It get`s really hot in Norway during summer.
