Was walking past a horse gear shop on Te Rapa road Hamilton and saw drovers coats for $140. Today I visited again on my scoot, put on a large one over my usual gear and then sat on my scooter. It was almost identical to the ones Jap ones shown in Aska's earlier post of 11 July "Found something interesting on the internet".It came right down to cover my boots. There are leg straps and it is split up the back for horse riders. Only drawback they are black. The lady in the shop was very interested and said that as they made the coats they could be interested in making and marketing special scooter coats. I am taking her a print out of the Jap ones shown in Askas post tomorrow.
I carry over trousers but it takes time to put them on and it is always in the rain so I get wet. With this coat it could be on over whatever I am wearing, giving head to toe weather protection in seconds. I dont give a stuff if I look strange, odd or "queer" as long as it works for me.
Tomorrow I will go back and see how much room it will take up in the under seat compartment. If it fits I will buy one and keep my over trousers for when I ride my bike.
