Similar - I'm looking at the Mutt Mongrel currently. http://www.muttmotorcycles.com/bikes/ Something of a ratbike vibe to it. Got to start with a 125 for learner legal in the UK, though they also have 250 models now.
Ah yes, I think I've seen their ads or a brief write up about them in one of the UK classic bike mags. Very smart looking indeed, and yes, a stylish small-capacity bike like this is just perfect for city commuting and to start off your motorcycle journey. Before you know it you'll be on a bigger Bonneville / Royal Enfield / Ducati Scrambler / SR400 ... and in the meantime you'll have tons of fun, while looking good all the time on these classy bikes - way more than on some nondescript scooter or other options in the 125cc range. I wouldn't mind that New Imperial 400 myself!
If I had it to do over again, I would probably have gone with the Zard. I like the Arrow, but I think the Zard fits the look of the Scrambler better.
That's who we (the club) had do our sweaters. The patch on the front and the lettering on the back are chenille patches stitched to the sweater. A little pricey, but top notch for sure.
That's what made me go with the Zard shorty pipes in the end, thought it went well with the short "bulldog" look I was going for (rear fender delete, etc)
Top notch sweaters for sure. I'll definitely wear mine this winter! Bro, yet again you've influenced my sartorial decisions - first the Vanson Comet PLU3 + Bonneville look, and now this Dehen club sweater
That's awesome! It's really all custom. Back is a Model A & B mix. Inside sleeve zips, too. Beyond awesome!
EXACTLY!!! And that's what I asked Vanson - to please convert the back from a traditional Model A to more of a Model B. They switched to smaller shoulder gussets, kept the elongated Model-A lower back, deleted the side adjustment straps as well as the two front pockets, keeping only the chest pocket and one inside pocket - I've found that's enough for a wallet, bike documents and phone. Yes, pretty much a one-off custom jacket now! The more I wear it the more I'm liking it! But like y'all mentioned earlier, with 5-7 other jackets in the rotation, it's gonna be a while before this fellow is fully broken in!
