I give me the BEST (late) X-mas presents!

[Unclviny]

X-mas present from Unclviny to Unclviny

Motorcycle Jacket | Scooter Jacket (it's the Barbour International, it's about halfway down this page).

As most of you know I'm an antique motorcycle-guy, you MUST have period-correct clothing on while riding your Vintage bike (yes, I'm "one of those").
I have been drooling/dreaming/looking at these for a while now but the crazy-high price kept me from buying (after all, it's a cotton jacket).
Jacket, liner, 1 bottle of rewaxer stuff and shipping was just under $500.00! (U.S.).

My dad loves his wax cotton jackets and having tried one once, I'm sold. $500 isn't really big bucks when you look at the comfort and protection it offers, and treated well it'll last a very long time.

What bike(s) do you own, and do you also own suitable helmets?

I just saw that you asked me about my bikes, I would NEVER pass up a chance to talk motorcycles. Right now I have:

1936 BMW R2, (currently out getting a big-bucks, museum-grade restoration).

1952 Triumph TRW, (being restored by me as an RAF dispatch bike)

1971 Norton Commando, (being "customized" by me into a cafe/special)

And yes, each bike has a "proper" helmet.
