rain

I saw this while doing my oil change. Does not look that bad... Upon further inspection... My bike has around 25,000 miles, is used for commuting and is ridden in the rain regularly. I have been lubing the cable but was forgetting to inspect it. Thanks!

I need help in choosing a jacket. I heard that leather is soo much better for protection. At first I was thinking of a Hi-Vis Oylmpia MotorQuest jacket for comfort, Hi-Ves and just a all around good jacket. I am 58 and ride in far weather only. No heavy rain or real rain at all, no 30...
