    100% correct. I meet plenty of twats that ride all sorts of things.

    The Suzuki Boulevard rally I had the Tee shirt, but lots of blokes had big Suzuki Jackets, guess what! - some real nice folks there too.

    Honda Riders club - ditto.

    They is just folks doing what they enjoy doing.

    As a rule - generalisations don't work.
    Yeah fair call, I guess the whole matching the pajamas to your ride is pretty narly

    Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.

    A Harley Jacket is actually the 'best' in my large collection.
    I get given them for my gig. I have maybe...10 at the moment. Different makes and climates.

    The coolest one I have by far is the James Dean Triumph in a distressed leather, but as for functionality it's the H-D unit.

    Very heavy leather - top abrasion co-efficient, excellent venting, best armour, built in back protector, waterproof - NZ waterproof, phone and MP3 player provision, outstanding draft exclusion, reasonably understated logos become hi-vis reflective in headlights, beautifully lined and extremely comfortable.

    It's quite outstanding.


    Stepping out after the ride - It's the James Dean sans furry collar.


    Edit - Yeah - I know a pyjama and robe type. I take the piss too, but you know what - it makes him happy.

    That's quite the wardrobe you are sporting there.

    Oh. I think I've now reached pointless drivel. Others may debate the time frame.

    The Triumph (classic) one, is the one with the hammer and monkey wrench in it
