no, the zipper wore out.  kinda flys open at highway speed. Jackets are pretty heavy when filled with wind.

Anyway I get my bike back soon (been in the shop for 2 months), and need to get the gear back in order.

I get to take it home on the coldest freaken day of the year.

Check here, location in Spring, not overprices, but not cheap either, but if ya need it now, you can get it.

Check tailors/alteration shops; many of them do leather too. Shouldn't be too pricey to get a new zipper sewn in.

I had a zipper put in once for 25 bucks...... check with your local drycleaners, they will have a seamstress that they can refer you to.

Try Biker leather.com,I have purchased several items and have not been disapointed with the quality or price.  Also return policy is good.
