I knew this had to happen...

Motorcycle outfit with bullet-resistant lining in the jacket, plus the usual motorcycle-specific armor. The leather parts are horsehide.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

That's actually a pretty badass looking outfit.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Er... Everything power rangers wear is skintight. This isn't.

It does remind me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on what.

Looks like a sci-fi uniform from some late 80's-90's show or movie..

Yeah, but which one?

Drax aerospace/Moonraker uniform?

Or the yellow leather Holnist uniforms from "The Postman"?

Bajoran uniform from Deep Space 9?

Maybe some b-list movie or show I'm not thinking of at the moment.  ???

Refresh the page Harold, you got burned on a hotlink. I guess we should be glad they didn't put up something nasty like some sites do.  :rofl:

Hah. There is some resemblance...

That would actually be a plus in my book.

The colors are right.
