    Goatskin motorcycle gloves?

    Another vote here for Held gloves. I have a pair of Held Akira's that I got off ebay for around $80 I think. They're the best gloves I've ever owned. Buying in the winter is the best time too, prices on ebay will go up as the season comes on. I also have an old pair of Olympia gloves that...

    Clarification about closing threads

    Ah I see a mod posted their reasoning in there now. Thanks for the clarification.

    Clarification about closing threads

    Since I'm mostly new here, can the mods explain the reasoning behind closing threads? I'm not trying to be confrontational here, I'm just unclear. Every other forum I've been on the mod will post the reason for closing the thread right before they lock it. I'm asking this here rather than in...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    As an aside about this, 6 or 7 years ago I was on a very tight knit, friendly forum. A member spent over a year ingratiating himself, befriending people and learning people's secrets. He then spent about a month destroying everyone he possibly could. Broke a marriage up (he had encouraged some...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    Thanks for this Baron. Several times I had tried to say the same thing, but apparently just couldn't get my thoughts across properly. Not having bad reviews in their own thread makes it extremely hard to research a purchase. For example someone mentioned a bad experience they had, and that...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    You've misunderstood my purpose with this thread. I'm not inviting everyone to post their bad experiences. I titled it bad experience (singular) and just wanted to share my experience. I also agree that people should try to come to an agreement with the manufacturer first, before discussing it...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    I could agree mostly about the fit issue just being a problem of communication. Mostly. But if you read my initial post, the majority (side note, I'm a bit under the weather today and when I typed "majority" my tired fingers made it came out "mammary". Freudian slip? :) ) Anyway. The majority...

    Experiences with leather jacket makers.

    That's basically how I did it and still do it when researching other purchases. I'll search for something like "aero review" or even just threads with Aero in the title. Eventually with so many posts though, it's less overwhelming to just search by Aero thread titles rather than Aero in...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Coldest for me was -40F out in Indiana when I was about 10. There is however some debate about it, my father saying that it was -40 plus the windchill which put it at 60 below, and my remembering that the 40 below was with the windchill. Darned cold whatever it was. As a kid though, I of...

    Experiences with leather jacket makers.

    If I may put in my thoughts on thread titles, and keeping emotion out of it here.. The big reason I felt a separate thread with a title such as "bad" or "good" experience was necessary, is simply for the search function of someone trying to do a little research before buying. There are probably...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    Had I known you guys existed I would have happily driven up to you. At the time of my orders I thought my only options were Mark Moye or Aero directly from Scotland.

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    Thanks for this. I was honestly a bit worried that I'd be banned for speaking out against Aero in any way. I haven't spent all that much time here, and didn't realize there were several cliques developing. I felt that the entire board was pro-Aero and to dissent was to get locked, deleted or...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    Why should all the bad reviews of Aero have to go into one general thread, while all the good ones each get their own thread?

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    As I said I believe it deserves it's own thread since there are so many dedicated individual threads to good experiences with Aero. If there were just one "good experience with leather jackets" thread, yeah I'd agree. Giving kudos their own individual threads, but having to put bad experiences...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    After the Mark Moye fiasco I talked to Ken directly, back in April of 2012. That's about 15-16 months until delivery after talking to Ken and being assured I'd be put on priority. When I spoke with him again back in November of 2012 at the same email address, he remembered me. Yes I do believe...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    I suppose it is possible that I was lied to and it wasn't Ken that I was actually talking to back in April of 2012, However in my correspondence it went to the same email address that he used as recently as July of 2013, and back in april of 2012 he did claim that he was really just in a support...

    Bad experience with Aero Leather

    Since I was basically called a troll in another thread for saying anything bad about Aero, here's my experience. I believe people should have the ability to make an informed judgement about a company they are going to do business with, and should see the bad as well as the good. I originally...

    Aero customer service-- can't be beat!

    Conversely, it's a fan boys playground here now. When I researched whether to buy from Aero, all I found were people singing their praises. It would have been nice to have found a single person with the courage to go against the grain here and say "yeah, I had a problem". As it is it seems...

    Aero customer service-- can't be beat!

    I had the same experience with Ken, not as much with Denny. Continually trying to convince me of what was not true, evidence to the contrary. I'm glad to hear a few others voicing their honest experiences instead of everyone singing Aero's constant praises and those with bad experiences...

    Aero customer service-- can't be beat!

    As I recall Holly always seemed to do what she said she would do. Unfortunately it always ended up in someone else's hands, and the ball was always dropped there.
