How much is too much?

[Shep]

Went to HD Chester today to look at Jackets and Helmets, i was a bit disappointed really, not a great choice of jackets, only one leather jacket that I liked, and not one helmet I liked, the Davida ones are OK but the largest one on display was still too snug. Some of the Fabric jackets were OK but i already have Rukka stuff so that wasn't really an option.

Unfortunately Mrs Shep joined me and found a helmet and a jacket that she liked, so at least one of us was happy!!

Them Davida helmets are like having your head in a vice.

Try Bikers Paradise. Decent quality at reasonable prices and the leather stuff they make to suit the larger gentleman too...plus they do loads of...and I hate the word..."retro" styles...

 

[jackassdave]

ooh retro how retro

 

[Captain Black]

Aren't Evo riders retro by nature ?

I was well pissed off with mine, it had all the feeling of a great bit of kit but it was probably 20% too tight, everybody said they would give a bit , riding for the past 45+ years told me it would give a bit, but it didn't, i'm still waiting i'm just at the stage of attacking it to try and make it fit!

I'd take the fecker back.

I tried two or three Davidas but never bought, they varied from tight, crushingly tight, and like sticking your head in a thimble.

Shit things in my opinion.

If it happened again i would in a shot , but i stuck at it for a couple of years too long (only occasional use) so i suppose its way out of a reasonable refusal period of time

I always try to encourage people to wear as much genuine HD branded gear as possible. It really helps me to spot the people I'm interested in talking to

I'm not sure you can have too much going by some of the chaps who frequent my local HD shop, I reckon the Captain has it nailed with his collection..........

I was only joking!

I'm very much a jeans and trainers sort when I ride my Harley.

I will admit to having a pair of black Harley gloves I bought donkeys years ago that have really been and still are very good.

I just don't see myself clad in black leather, covered in badges and tattoo's riding a black Harley giving people black looks..

That,s Pingu's job....

 

[Old Codger]

WTF ! Shep

Why not ride the fecker in whatever is comfortable. Whats wrong with the Rukka ?

Why not raise one digit to the Hardly corporate clothing must have uniform.

Have no fear, i have no intention of blindly following the HD/HOG herd, i did buy a jacket though 'very nice it is to, Oh and a beanie hat and they're ordering in a specially made studded thong with a CVO padded strap to be gentle to my delicate nether regions

And i have Joined H-DRCGB, 'cos a few old mates are in there and it would be nice to meet up sometime.

Bandana one step too far, glad it was just a beanie hat

I own a CVO bike and as such can order thong's and other sexual type Harley regalia.
Your probably not aware of this, and I really shouldn't be making this public but what the hell.
If you own a Harley you join HOG, but if you own a CVO bike you are certified as a CVO operative.

It's light years ahead of the Heavy Overweight Guy's section (HOG), and you get to meet gorgeous woman and not fat middle aged men.

As already mentioned, when on holiday, I buy some T-shirts or special 'small' patches & pins', eg. Daytona bikeweek 2013 (got some leftover).
As well, if the local HD dealer has 40-50% discount deals and something fits, I may buy.

Regarding HD boots, I buy from the local 'Catterpiller' shop. Genuine gear at less than half price from the dealer.

Regarding fringed jackets, I still got my old Lewis Leathers leather jacket from the 70's. Don't fit so good now though but, brings back memories of the good old days when rallying on a £10.

Well since I got rid of all of my stuff a couple of years back, it looks like I need a new helmet, jacket and boots.

Priced them up at the dealer and whilst the helmets don't seem to bad, the leather jackets do seem a lot.

I think that it might mean a trip to J S Accessories near to Delamere.

That plus the fact that I don't want to look like one of Village People.
