Recently I decided that my old tween seasons Jet Leathers jacket was getting a bit old and saggy and that it was probably time to think about replacing it.
Quasi recently advertised a $1 auction on Trade Me for one of his new QMoto Viper jackets. It looked great. I was not the successful bidder, but one thing led to another and now I have a new Viper.
The delivery was extremely quick. I unpacked it immediately, checked it for obvious and glaring imperfections, of which there were none, and then I modeled it for Mrs H. The fit was excellent, and attention to detail and standard of build just as good as should be expected on a high quality leather garment. Mrs H gave it the Official Thumbs Up.
The zip-out thermal vest is a nice touch, and the zips are already fitted should one ever feel a desire to attach the jacket to matching trousers.
On Friday evening I got my first opportunity to take my new purchase out for a ride. We went out for a bite of dinner at the Black Stump Cafe in Pahiatua, via Mauriceville (the Shiver wanted to play), and home via coffee and cake in Palmerston North.
Based on those several hours in the saddle, I'm very impressed with my new purchase. Unlike some motorcycle garments, it has obviously been designed by somebody who rides motorbikes and who understands what works and what doesn't.
Highly recommended.

Good stuff Mr H! Looks good too, must say I really like the colour scheme!!! Well done Quasi, another satisfied customer eh! (I was going to write a review of my new squid suit a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't be arsed, and well, it wouldn't have been as exciting and full of gastronomic delights as yours, only chewing gum stuck to the bottom of my new boots )
Dood! You bought a jacket that matches your bike! You're:
a. In love, and
b. Saaaaaaad. Sad, sad, saddo, sad.
My Quasi gear is delectable. I got my Tourismo pants on Friday. Shin guards! Pockets! A full width Waist Zip (it's a long way to go too) fastenings that don't involve dubious hook and look fastening pads.
A riding report will follow, when I get to go riding.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Very stylish Mr H.
What is the point in having a pack rack and then placing the aforementioned pack on the pillion seat? Where has Mrs H been relegated to??? Surely she cannot fit into the bag?

Tell me what do you think about the length? I added a bit more cover over the lower back.... considering so many are wearing Jeans and the like these days.

Perfect, just perfect for somebody riding a sit-up style bike like what I do. Crusier riders should enjoy these too. Sprotsbike riders may get a bit of front bunching though.
