Casual Motorcycle Jackets

[Mr. Dazzle]

I still wear my 2000 Alpinestars Dyno as a day-to-day jacket, this is me last weekend. I do wonder if they're gonna relaunch it as a retro jacket (if they haven't already, I don't really pay attention to these things).

I've been meaning for ages to get it altered to remove the baggyness where the padding used to be.

Were you singing or on guitar?

I think you're kidding yourself if you think that needs taking in

Ita more the bingo wings I want to get rid of Its till got the shoulder armour in cause you can't take it out, but the elbow stuff is long gone.

Even when I was 16 it was snug around the middle, cause I bought it that way.

I weighed 9 stone when I was 16, 38 years later I weigh 14 stone, there's no way I could fit in any clothes from 1983

I weighed more when i was 16 than i do now So yeah, i'd have been OK.

[Mr. Dazzle]

I was about 10 stone when I was 16, I'm about 11.5 now. I also still fit the MTM leathers I got when I was 22....they're pretty retro too actually.

IsTR that Alpinestars was the smallest size they had when I bought it and that I looked like I borrowed it from my Dad cause the chest/shoulders were way too big. I rode my moped in it cause I knew I was gonna buy a bike when I was 17.

You can't beat a lived in leather jacket (not knackered though!). They just rock in a way new ones just can't. And the fact you have to work at it makes it even better.

I was about 10 stone from about 18 to 37, mostly because I didn't eat much, then we had children and there was more food in the house and I spent more time at home, so I started eating between meals, a habit I can't seem (try hard enough) to get out of.

There's a certain truth to that.

Years ago, I had Frank Thomas leather jacket - not particularly expensive, but I'd ridden through a 3 hour downpour in it (it didn't leak, amazingly, but DID soak up every drop that hit it), and after that it fitted me absolutely like a glove.

For some unknown reason I gave it away to a uni friend of mine.
