@technovox man, seriously jaw-dropping stuff! Superb collection, saying I'm impressed just doesn't cut it. Makes me feel not-so-guilty about wanting yet another cafe racer variant, don't know if that's good or bad, LOL!
This was yesterday, didn't get around to posting till now. Vanson AR3 jacket, which is their Model A with option for shoulder, elbow and back armour pads. Mine is customised with America stripes and smaller shoulder gussets instead of their usual Model-A full-action-back.
Or if you wanna strike a balance between Aero/Langlitz leather pants and the Alipnestars/Dainese crowd, perhaps consider this new brand? Pagnol Moto - they're doing some good stuff with their jackets, and just came out with leather riding pants. http://www.pagnol-moto.com/shop/m3-pant
The jacket is fantastic and the fit looks spot on for you. Your motorcycle looks very interesting too, wouldn't mind seeing more pics of it - perhaps of you on it with this jacket??!! :)
Thank you @Edward Yes, it's the India-built Royal Enfield Bullet 500. This one has the new unit construction engine, electric/kick start, but still runs on carbs.
@lina yours is a lovely bike, great color! The sound, looks and stance is definitely old-school Brit bike! Thankfully these new...
Sloan man, you're gonna be staying at quite the happening neighbourhood then! Don't mind the hipsters there, Williamsburg is hipster-central for NYC!!! If you like vintage motorcycles, there's always old bikes around at Works Engineering, across the street is Genuine Motorworks - biker clothing...
Yup, the Schott Flagship store is in Elizabeth Street, between Prince and Warren. Definitely worth a visit! Walking distance from Self Edge NY, and the streets around there have tons of stores that will interest us like-minded folks. RRL store is round the corner from there. A few shops up the...
EXACTAMUNDO!!! I always hate going to the Met and having to deal with the grumpy looks I get when I give them less than the $20-whatever-hefty-amount per head they suggest and ask for x number of badges. Either keep it free or set a reasonable fee or if it's "contribute whatever" then don't show...
Another thing about the Buco Rider - I was told by Union Garage NYC that Lost Worlds recently made some slight changes to the Buco Rider and Easy Ryder jackets - they're now ever-so-slightly slimmer than the older ones. My older jacket is on the boxier side.
Thanks lina! When I lived in the US I was pretty much only a city rider too, that too on nice weekends. Now that I'm back in Asia, I get to ride a lot more and on wildly different terrain too. This was one of our club rides. I've met up with the Royal Enfield annual Tour of Bhutan a few times to...
... and for good measure, here's one more pic - me in my LW Buco Rider and alongside Enfield bikes at the end of the dirt track in Merak, eastern Bhutan. From here on, it's mules or hiking by foot. I think I've posted this pic before somewhere. Maybe I should send these pics over to Stuart at LW...
Hey, awesome jacket, looks great on you! I have this same jacket, picked it up a few years ago and have put lots of road miles on them, majority of it while riding a Royal Enfield too! Have done several week-plus-long road trips wearing this jacket with an armoured shirt underneath (Bohn and...
Thank you folks! Encouraging feedback from y'all, much appreciated!
I try to minimise use of chest pockets too, but do use them for my phone, etc every so often.
Somebody from Aero just contacted me saying they could send me replacement zipper pulls - that's great & quick customer service...
Why so serious??? Staying frozen waiting for self-timer to click!
Aero Fontana in brown fqhh. Have had it for a few years now, lots more jackets in my rotation, so this jacket is breaking in but still has some ways to go. Also, had put on a few pounds around the waist and jacket wasn't fitting...
So, is it triple-denim if I wear denim pants, denim shirt and a denim baseball hat? Didn't give it much thought but seems I left the house wearing this combo today!!! The hat's probably overkill ...
