Textile Or Leather Jacket On A Bonneville?

See mine and you see why 11 is for starters lol ..boots .jackets .gloves. madness.

 

eBay my favourite shop this would look the business on any retro Triumph

 

I would be really surprised if that jacket is in any way CE certified despite what the ad may say

 

Yes probably made in India down to a budget but saying that take any protection out it may include and you have quite a nice jacket for down the pub on a wintry evening But saying that it will still offer more protection than jackets of the period you are reconnecting with

 

Ditto. Six helmets too.

 

You beat me on helmets

 

I'll beat you all. Four in the garage 6 in the house and another 11 in my storage unit
Jackets 12 in the garage 5 in the house and 4 in the unit (8 leather the rest textile)
Boots two in the garage and 8 in the house and gloves well I have no idea along with neck warmers skull caps etc etc I'm just very obsessed nothing to do with mine is bigger or smaller than yours I just like a bargain
But that's small fry compared to my fishing tackle collection which 75% of it is filling the storage unit with the overspill of the bike gear and some equipment for the boat

 

Easily beaten on the jackets and boots..im a collector..daytona. sidi. Altberg etc. Jackets.belstaff.vanson.eastman.langlitz.aero.schott.dianese ,bks .etc etc.

 

I only have so many because I don't worry about the manufacturer don't get me wrong I do have revit, richa, shark, sidi and triumph branded gear but I also have a lot of RK sports and ghost bikes Black branded stuff which in most instances aren't to bad fitting as long as you can find which Asian size that particular brand uses I can range from a large to 3xl

 

At last count with the boots I had 10.5 pairs of daytona alone..the single boot was bought new in case I wrecked a right boot by any chance and I would have a spare lololol .

 

6 helmets
11 jackets
6 trousers/jeans
5 boots
8 gloves
8 neck rolls

I thought I was bad but seriously, you guys…

 

I'll have a proper recount when the Mrs isn't around

 

Same, I feel much better about my growing collection having read some of these posts!!

@Pedro1340 a single spare boot really is dedication!!!

 

What I don't understand is who would sell one boot

 

What size are you I might be able to buy a cheap left boot

 

I will check when I get back from Malta

 

I wasn't exaggerating...

 

I’m going back to leather, after me and the lady got blown off my Bonny at Creg na baa at this year’s TT. I was about to stop but before I could get my foot down a bloody big gust of wind hit us, I tried to hold it but eventually it knocked us off. The shoulder armour on my textile jacket, the thing that’s supposed to protect you, jammed into my arm putting a tear in my tendon. I’m due for a new jacket I’ve had this one about 25 years. Any of you bods with dozens fancy selling one.

 

I have sent you a pm.

 

I have just cleared all my surplus bits out. Every thing went to charity shops. Some i gave to friends. Now intend to stick to two f every thing. One leather one textile. But only have one helmet now having gifting my Son my spare hat to replace the ancient one he was using.
