I think so. I get that it’s the “unlikeable” CW batch, but it just takes more effort. Active wears like MC riding, running from Dutch hoodlums like Marc Depp or a dance off against William Hung at an LA rave. Real shit. Haha. @Marc mndt

It’s got a ways to go yet. I will break it.
Comprendo. I guess, there is hope for mine after all...

Go ride across Mexico again. The ride, the weather, the pucker factor at certain checkpoints, the ducking and weaving of all sort of armed men in armored vehicles, tequila-induced debauchery=broken in Vanson.

I miss Mexico.

I am thinking in visiting my friends in Baja. However, they drink mucho vino at the valle de Guadalupe. Nice place to take either the BMW dual adventure or the Road King. The RK is no slouch in how nice it handles the dirt roads.

Sounds like a nice ride. Many a time I took a wrong turn in the Rockies and ended up on some dirt road on my Road Glides. Surprisingly good on mountain dirt back roads and rickety bridges. My RK has seen few dirt roads.

I was just thinking what my daughter mentioned. If I take my HD cycle king jacket. Some of the guys would want it. Of course they do not want to pay what is worth. LOL. It happens often. However, one of them actually is eying one straight zip Cal. Leathers beast that one of our good friends from Riverside is selling. This time however, I am going to have my very forgetful motorcyclist friends pay me up front before I deliver or sell anything to them. I truly hope Vansons and HD produce an X150 leather brown Cycle King or the "Elvis cycle champ variation jacket. While writing this, I cam to the realization that YOU Max, have way too many jackets. You should sell some . Begining with that nice straight Cal,Vanson Octagon,Tan LW Buco j27...

Haha. You now own a few of my jackets! The JL Two-tone “Trojan” is one I miss. What else? There are a few.

I MIGHT trade my Vanson Octagon for that one. Probably not. My wife would kill me, she loves the Vanson. And you were all over that JL.

That Vanson is nice! Actually I will trade the JL two tone for for any of those three!

Really clean man, always love to see those A-2 style epaulettes on an MC jacket, will look amazing once it starts to mould. Between the J-24 and this, you have a couple of killer MC jackets in the stable. Is this Shinki leather?
Thank you! I can’t wait for it to break and see how it moulds and takes shape.

This is Greg’s tea-core Shinki horsehide and I’m actually surprised about the weight of it. It’s quite different from the Shinki RMC uses and feels quite heavy.

There is just one more MC jacket I need in my collection now and that’s the Buco J-100.

How would you describe the difference between RMC Shinki and FL Shinki and which leather do you like better and for what reason?
