I don't have to pull my stomach in so I can close the jacket after 25 years...or The last time I used it was 13 years ago

That’s a very cool jacket.

Agreed.

I doubt I could fit my tub into that.

Looks like a very durable jacket indeed Alps, congrats!

Guess I'm a bit of a hamster who cannot throw away good gear, thought i would have trouble getting in to my leather " race overalls " as they were called then but ........

The picture was taken by a photographer on the way back from the Assen TT with my buddies, we were a group of many returning from the races and he was busy taking pictures of all who wanted one, now i'm glad he did.

So it fitted fine including the same boots as in the picture and would have been around 1972, only 51 years ago, guess it's true what they say about leather gear;" it lasts a lifetime"

A bit of an ask to photograph yourself away from home with a tripod, self timing camera etc. so i guess i cheated a bit, nice subject!

Nice work Max and Steve.

This challenge is becoming somewhat of a who-can-still-fit exercise.
Speaking of which, I need to get more of that if I want my current gear to still fit.

as I was going to ride the CB out to lunch today it was the perfect day to make my contribution to this month's challenge

This pair of boots is probably the oldest gear I have (maybe a pair of gloves or two). They are Alpine Stars and at least 20 years old. The pics not on my CB are pics of me wearing them on my 2001 Yamaha FZ-1

The leather jacket isn't that old, a Fox Creek, is maybe 10 years old

I think I have the same [model] Alpine Stars boots - perhaps the same age.

Among jackets and boots, I hope you still admit CBs in the monthly photo challenge.
Here, my CB11 met with a beautiful, fully restored, polished CB750 K2 near Gunterville.

Beautiful Gecko. Just beautiful.
