Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

[Downunder G Man]

Vanson Ike proving too hot for daytime wear here now. My "heaviest" jacket by some margin to boot.
Today was the goatskin Simmons Bilt J100 café racer as it was 14C to start off and 28C on the way home.
Photo taken at our "Guinness" stop at a biker friendly pub on the Indian Ocean.
The Guinness picture my poor attempt at an "art" shot...
SPOILER ALERT same photo(s) used in other threads !

Lol I envy you for being able to drink beer during daylight. For me it literally needs to be after 11PM for it to start tasting drinkable.

That slang brings back memories of a trip I took to Italy in the early 90s for the youth soccer World Cup. In between games players used to go out to local pubs just outside of Florence. One night I walk in with some teammates and the entire Australian team was there drinking all sorts of goodness. We joined them and proceeded to rip up that pub, to the point that the locals and players from both teams were singing all sorts of drinking songs. Each team was assigned a contingent of Italian Carabinieri, who could only shake their collective heads at the debauchery. One of my fondest memories. I need to visit Australia one day.

I thought all those zippers were to confuse pick pockets.

The side lacing would be the killer forcme, though otherwise I quite enjoy it being a bit ott. I like the ciggie pockets on the upper arms, more useful than some of the other pockets. I also like those much longer sleeve zips, reminiscent of the Durable jackets.

Overkill..??

The kid brought home his first bike, so I gifted him my Vanson Comet. We're doing a complete tear down and rebuild, so he'll have a little time to grow into the Vanson.

Kid has a good eye for a nice looking bike! I know it's a Norton and not a Triumph, but those big American style handlebars on a Brit bike really make me think of Brando. Looks nice and rust free as a startpoint as well. Enjoy the project! I'd love to work on an old bike project with my Dad, but I live in London (and have no garage) - he has the space but is still in rural Ireland. Shame... he use to work on vintage cars with a pal of his who died a few years ago; he's sort of given a lot of it up since (between that and being my mother's carer in effect). Be great to spend time in the garage if we could.
