Good to see we have riders here. Just put my Ninja 650 into storage for this damn NYC storm

Hi Folks,

I'm new here and was just curious how many riders there are from Long Island/NYC area...

I manage a motorcycle collection for a living and perhaps we could put together a visit this spring for those interested.  Kindly speak up if you're so inclined to take a look.

Best regards,

You might try posting on http://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles . They wont be as well dressed and cultured as these bunch, but you might get a bigger crowd.

 

Wow.  That would be a dream job

Cloth jacket fitting from Johnson Leathers in San Francisco. I'm having them copy a vintage TT Leathers jacket but add in Forcefield armor in the back, shoulders and elbows along with some other design modifications:

Really? They show up fine for me. Anyone else?

I don't know what you did Trini but I see them now. What kind of cloth? Looks good.

Cheers. It looks like they used a corduroy. Just to be clear, this is just the test fitting shell that they will base the new leather jacket off of. Kind of like how some shirtmakers will do a muslin version before making the final shirt. The final jacket will be in a 3.75-4oz naked leather.

Also, I got a pair of the Maple motorcycle jeans which I'm wearing in those pics. .They're raw denim with a kevlar lining and forcefield armor in the hips and knees.

You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.

 

 

Reminds me of the horsehide Dainese Chiodo.

Great day for a ride. Took my Sportie out for first ride of 2013, so a little WAYWRN in the motorsickles threak..

The inspiration was a combination of the following jackets:








So jealous.

 

Nice.  Are you sticking with moo skin or will you consider going a different route such as horse or buffalo?  What about kangaroo?  It's already a custom so you might as well get sprinkles and a cherry on top
