I find two is the perfect number for my lifestyle. The Guzzi is my main ride around town, to work, etc. The BMW is perfect for trips (storage space and better at highway speeds), colder weather (heated grips and windscreen), and riding two up (better suspension and more comfortable for my...

Beautiful bike.

Mine is on the brighter side of the color 8 spectrum, which does make it look a bit more like the cavalier, perhaps. The first p613s I bought was a darker shade, which I actually preferred, but didn’t fit me as well. Fit beats color nuances though, so I went with this one. It’s a great color...

That’s exciting. I’m curious to see how the cavalier compares to the color 8 Chromexcel. Would you consider posting some photos when it arrives?

I didn’t ride when I bought mine either 6 or 7 years ago. It’s pretty good on the bike but there’s a reason Schott adds the underarm “footballs” to their true riding jackets. The shoulders ride up a bit in the riding position, but that’s okay. Still more of a riding jacket than most people on...

Thank you. It’s definitely a thick one. I’ve worn it plenty more since this post, and it’s developed more dents and marks and evidence of a life well lived. Not sure why I was so concerned about it, in hindsight. I also found the HH less robust. Enjoy yours as well! Good looking piece.

Very good point.

Thanks, guys. Not sure why I was overthinking it. Now I just have to wait patiently for Dena to return my Wayfarer with its new zipper.

No, that’s not it. I mean, I’m worried about the outcome if I crash in any jacket. :) I guess I’m trying to gauge people‘s thoughts on wearing non-motorcycle jackets on motorcycles, from a style perspective.

Having just sold my Aero Cafe Racer in Battered Tan Horsehide, I'm experiencing a bit of seller's remorse. I've been trying to stick to a "one in, one out" rule I set for myself last year, as space is limited and I only want to own enough jackets that I can actually wear. The only reason I...

Sold

Thanks! The healing is never fun but nice when it’s over. My wife and I got some impulsive Valentine’s Day tats instead of going to dinner, and right afterwards realized we had booked a trip to an indoor water park the next week for our daughter’s birthday. Poor planning on our part but both...

Sternum hurt like hell for me, and I’ve been avoiding the stomach and ribs, but I know the time will come.

I’m late to the conversation, but this is a great thread so I’m going to chime in. I’ve loved seeing everyone’s ink. Good stuff. Describing leather jackets as winter tattoos is an interesting concept that’s actually quite relatable for me. The feeling of self-confidence I have when my tattoos...
