I have been riding motorcycles for over 31 years with almost a 100,000 miles of total ride time. I bought my tailored Langlitz in 2013 and have used it for motorcycle riding. On March 8, 2024, I had a very bad collision on my Harley that involved an SUV. I high sided over the bike and hit the SUV with my torso and the Langlitz absorbed much of the impact. I bounced off the SUV hitting the concrete barrier and landed on the shoulder of the highway but my Langlitz absorbed much of the impact. I am fortunate to be alive with a few broken ribs. It could have been so much worse but thanks to my Langlitz and skill and experience of riding I have minimal injuries. My Langlitz jacket has hardly any scratches. I do need to order some Langlitz leather cream and my jacket will be good as new, but with some hard earned road mileage as an outstanding leather jacket.
