What????
« on: March 01, 2008, 07:21:56 PM »
I was just about to order some new Jeans for my motorbike (for me to wear on my motorbike) from M&P.

The jeans cost £99 'cos they are reinforced with kevlar and stuff...

So, place order on line and...

Or buy a decent one piece suit. Like what I've got :-)

Still, on days when I want to just take a gentle stroll on the bike, I sometimes put the two piece on. It helps me fit in with the oldies an their old bikes.

Is your helmet made of cork, perchance?

I sold my one-piece as it matched my Aprilia...

My two piece jacket fits but the trousers seem to have... um shrunk...  redface:

In my day, when men were men, a Tee Shirt, a pair of Wranglers, Cowboy Boots and a Leather Jacket was all one wore when on a bike. Some liked to effect a silk scarf but in the main we all looked like The Fonz .... before the Fonz was invented. 'Course we had real bikes then .... not things that sound like angry wasps.

New fangled eeek: .... I was 17!  ::)

I fell off once too often and flogged it to buy a Triumph Vitesse convertable. Pulled more birds that way too.

One good thing about being in the services back then was that drivers licences were handed out if you could reach the end of the runway without hitting anything.

It was ... I traded up from a BSA Cub, which may have been why I fell off so often. Had the Norton 500 for about six months but found that WAAFS didn't like getting wet or having their hairdos ruined ... so the Vitesse was the next best thing.

Young, free and single ..... Happy Days indeed. cloud9:
