Goldtop Leather Jacket

[treedoc_imp]

Hey fellas, just bought one of these Goldtop 1958 leather jackets from Urbanrider in the UK.



It is 1.4mm leather with a gold satin lining, it is a weighty bit of kit but the leather is really supple and its nice to put on. Feels like you could slide for miles in it...



I read a comment that the collar would flap annoyingly against the helmet, but it doesn't flap at all. I like the classic style, less is more! And you could easily remove the armor and wear it off the bike.



It has two internal pockets as well.

The main issue so far is the bugs show up on it, but at least it is easy to wipe down...

Nice that

I like it. Clean lines. If the collar ever does start flapping, I’d bet some strategically placed Velcro could stop it without changing the look.

Fashion looks solid. Otherwise, cold weather riding would require extra neck protection.

I reckon it's intended for fair weather riding or better?

Happy Daze.

What bike did the Fonz ride? I always thought it was a Triumph but that doesn’t look like it on the tank.

That is a 49 Triumph TR 5

I read somewhere that Henry couldn't actually ride- they pushed him off stage so he would roll onto the scene.

Trick question! Fonz never rode a bike (on-screen) as Henry Winkler can’t ride a bike due to dyslexia.
